Best motorcycle GPS tracker UK 2025, real-time protection for your bike

Motorcycle theft in the UK typically involves physically moving the bike rather than riding it away under its own power. This means tow-away tracking is more important for motorcycles than for cars, and GPS tracking combined with movement alerts provides the most practical security benefit. LockCar adapts its 4G GPS and relay immobiliser hardware for motorcycle applications, providing real-time protection for all bike types.

How motorcycles are typically stolen in the UK

The most common motorcycle theft method in the UK involves physically lifting or wheeling the bike onto a van or flatbed, bypassing any ignition security entirely. This makes GPS tracking with movement alerts the most critical security layer for motorcycles, as it detects theft regardless of whether the engine is involved. An immobiliser alone does not prevent a bike from being physically carried away.

Relay attack on keyless motorcycles is an emerging concern as more manufacturers introduce passive entry systems on premium models including BMWs, Ducatis, and higher-specification Hondas and Yamahas. For these models, LockCar’s relay immobiliser provides the same start circuit protection as on cars.

LockCar GPS tracker for motorcycles

LockCar hardware is adapted for 12V motorcycle electrical systems. The compact form factor of the GPS module suits the limited space available in motorcycle bodywork. Movement alerts via the LockCar app provide immediate notification if the bike is moved, whether by starting the engine, wheeling it, or lifting it onto a vehicle. Real-time GPS location enables rapid police notification with a live position.

For keyless motorcycles, the relay immobiliser integration prevents engine start via relay attack in the same way as on cars. The proximity tag hands-free authentication is practical for motorcyclists who remove their helmet before approaching the bike, triggering automatic immobiliser disarm.

Additional motorcycle security layers

GPS tracking and relay immobiliser are most effective as part of a layered motorcycle security approach. Physical security including a disc lock with alarm, a ground anchor chain in secure storage, and a cover that makes the bike less visible all contribute to overall deterrence. LockCar’s GPS and immobiliser layer provides the electronic detection and prevention that physical deterrents cannot match.
