The pin lock security at STOER Bikes is an advanced anti-theft system designed specifically for our electric cargo bikes and fatbikes. This innovative security system works via a personal pin code required to activate the bike. Without the correct code, the electric assistance remains disabled, making the bike less attractive to thieves. The system is fully integrated into the design of our bikes and, together with standard GPS tracking, provides powerful security against theft. This makes our STOER Bikes not only stylish and functional, but also extremely secure.<\/p>\n

What is the pin lock security at STOER Bikes?<\/h2>\n

The pin lock security is a integrated security system<\/strong> that comes standard with all STOER Bikes, including our popular CargoX cargo bikes. This system requires a personal PIN code to activate the bike's electric assistance. It works through the Bafang motor installed in all of our bikes.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional bike locks that only block the movement of the wheel, the pin lock renders the bike's electronic system unusable without the proper code. This means that even if someone could physically take the bike, they cannot take advantage of the electric support that makes our fatbikes and cargo bikes so valuable.<\/p>\n

The system is elegantly integrated into the handlebar-mounted LCD display, so it doesn't take up extra space or interfere with the sleek design of our bikes. You simply enter your code when starting up the bike, and all functions become available. This is a invisible security layer<\/strong> that a potential thief does not immediately notice.<\/p>\n

The CargoX cargo bike benefits especially from this security, as these popular models can be attractive targets with their large cargo capacity and high-quality components. The pin lock provides an essential first line of defense for this investment.<\/p>\n

How does the pin lock system work in conjunction with GPS tracking?<\/h2>\n

The strength of our security approach lies in the combination of different systems<\/strong>. The pin lock system works seamlessly with the standard GPS tracking functionality built into all of our electric bikes. This combined approach provides comprehensive security that works both preventively and reactively.<\/p>\n

If your bike is equipped with both systems, the pin lock ensures that the bike cannot be used with electric assistance without the correct code. At the same time, the GPS module, similar to our partnership with Tracefy, continuously tracks the location of your bike. You can track this location via a special app on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

In case of theft, this combination offers two crucial advantages. First, the pin lock makes it harder for thieves to get away with the bike because the electric assistance is disabled. Second, GPS tracking allows you to find out the exact location of your stolen bike and share it with authorities or specialized \"bike hunters\" who can help you recover your property.<\/p>\n

The GPS module is discreetly and independently installed, so thieves cannot easily find it or disable it. It also runs on its own power source, so it functions even when the bike's main battery is removed. This makes it a powerful addition to our electric bikes<\/a> and an essential part of our security system.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of the pin lock system for businesses?<\/h2>\n

For entrepreneurs and companies who use our CargoX cargo bikes for business purposes, the pin lock system offers specific business advantages<\/strong>. First, it protects your valuable business investment from theft, which is crucial given the higher purchase value of our premium electric cargo bikes.<\/p>\n

A key benefit for companies is the ability to manage access to the bikes. With different PIN codes, you can control who has access to your company bikes. This is ideal for situations where multiple employees use the same bike, such as for delivery services or for transportation between different company locations.<\/p>\n

The pin lock system also helps lower insurance costs. Many insurers offer more favorable premiums for bikes with advanced security systems. Combined with STOER Insured, companies can benefit from optimal protection at a competitive price.<\/p>\n

For urban logistics, a secure CargoX cargo bike offers an efficient solution. With a cargo capacity of up to 100 kg in the cargo box and access to all parts of the city, including car-free zones, this bike is a valuable asset that deserves proper protection. The pin lock system ensures that your cargo bike can only be used by authorized personnel, improving control over your assets.<\/p>\n

Moreover, companies that invest in our bikes can take advantage of tax benefits for sustainable transportation. Securing this investment with an effective pin lock system ensures that your company gets maximum return from this green mobility solution.<\/p>\n

How reliable is the pin lock security in daily use?<\/h2>\n

The reliability of the pin lock system in daily use is exceptionally high<\/strong>. The system is designed to function in all conditions, whether you're commuting around town or going on adventures with your fatbike over rougher terrain.<\/p>\n

The pin lock system is fully integrated into the bike's electronics and therefore well protected from weather conditions. Rain, cold or heat do not affect the operation of the system. This is crucial for cargo bikes and fatbikes that are often left outside and used intensively in a variety of weather conditions.<\/p>\n

In terms of wear and tear, there is little cause for concern. Because the system operates electronically and has no moving mechanical parts like traditional locks, there is minimal wear and tear. This means that the pin lock system will continue to function reliably throughout the life of your STOER Bike.<\/p>\n

The battery that powers the display and thus the pin lock system is the same one that powers the electric assistance. With a range of up to 140 kilometers, you don't have to worry that your security system will suddenly fail. The system also consumes very little energy, making the impact on your total range negligible.<\/p>\n

In the unlikely event that you forget your PIN, we offer support to restore access to your bike. This process is designed to ensure only the rightful owner can gain access, while providing a solution for forgetful users.<\/p>\n

What additional security measures does STOER Bikes recommend?<\/h2>\n

Although the pin lock system and GPS tracking are already a robust security<\/strong> offer, we recommend combining them with additional measures for maximum protection of your investment. A layered approach to security provides the best protection against bicycle theft.<\/p>\n

A physical lock remains an essential part of your security strategy. We recommend using a high-quality ART-approved chain lock or U-lock to secure your bike to a fixed object. This, along with the pin lock system, provides a formidable barrier to potential thieves.<\/p>\n

For added protection, the Abus Detecto Alarm Box is an excellent addition. This compact alarm device gives a loud signal in case of movement or attempted theft. The combination of a pin lock, GPS tracking and an alarm system makes your STOER Bike virtually unattractive to thieves.<\/p>\n

In addition to physical protection, we also recommend insuring your bike. With STOER Insured, we offer specially developed insurance packages that provide optimal coverage for our electric bikes. This insurance covers not only theft, but also damage, which is important when using your cargo bike or fatbike intensively.<\/p>\n

For business users of our CargoX cargo bikes, we recommend investing in secure parking facilities as well. A locked bike shed or specially secured area for your valuable business assets is an important addition to electronic and physical security systems.<\/p>\n

Finally, registering your bike in the National Bike Registry is also recommended. This increases your chances of being found in case of theft, especially when combined with the GPS tracking that comes standard in our bikes.<\/p>\n

At STOER Bikes, we believe that a combination of smart electronic security like the pin lock system, physical locks, alarm systems and proper insurance is the most effective way to protect your valuable electric bike. This way you can enjoy all the benefits our innovative bikes have to offer worry-free.<\/p>\n\n

Het systeem is ge\u00efntegreerd in de kernelektronica van de fiets en reageert op ongeautoriseerde toegangspogingen. Bij herhaalde foutieve invoer van de pincode wordt het systeem tijdelijk vergrendeld, wat ‘brute force’ hacking pogingen effectief voorkomt. Deze beveiliging, gecombineerd met onze GPS-tracking, maakt onze fietsen aanzienlijk minder aantrekkelijk voor dieven.”},{“id”:6,”title”:”Hoe be\u00efnvloedt de pin lock beveiliging de actieradius van mijn STOER Bike?”,”content”:”Het pin lock beveiligingssysteem is zeer energiezuinig ontworpen en heeft een verwaarloosbare impact op de actieradius van je fiets. Het systeem verbruikt minder dan 1% van de totale accucapaciteit, wat in de praktijk neerkomt op slechts enkele honderden meters van je totale bereik. Je kunt dus zonder zorgen gebruikmaken van deze beveiliging zonder noemenswaardige invloed op de prestaties van je STOER Bike.”}][\/seoaic_faq]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
