Story

The Problem

Bikes are expensive, making them prime targets for theft. And most tracking solutions on the market today come with significant drawbacks:

  • they're expensive and require ongoing subscriptions,
  • are bulky and unattractive,
  • or they're easily noticeable and removable, defeating their entire purpose.

The Solution

Introducing TagLockr—the ultimate tracking solution designed to protect your ride.

Vision to Design

As an avid mountain biker frustrated by existing options, I developed TagLockr to specifically address these issues.

  • Because TagLockr leverages existing tracker networks, there's no monthly subscription cost. 
  • It stores popular trackers (like AirTag or SmartTag2) inside your bike’s steering tube, making it nearly invisible. This discreet design ensures thieves remain unaware they're being tracked—until it's too late.
  • The expandable TPU ring securely locks the device in place by tightening the stainless steel security bolt, ensuring TagLockr can't easily be removed.

With TagLockr you can FINALLY protect your investment affordably, discreetly, and effectively.

FAST Installation

Design to Reality

To bring TagLockr to the masses, I need your help! By backing this campaign, you’ll be partnering with me to build the resources needed to refine the design of TagLockr to its fullest potential. This includes a stretch goal to add additional tracking tag options to the design (such as the Tile Sticker tracker), giving you even more flexibility in choosing your preferred device.

 

Together, we can take TagLockr from prototype design to reality, making it the ultimate bike security solution. Thank you so much for your support!

 

Stretch Goal

Additional Trackers & Sizing ($1,500)

I'll add additional tracking tag options to the design to help:

  • Provide even more flexibility in choosing your preferred device and 
  • Provide a universal option (iOS and Android) for steering tubes narrower than 32mm, that won't accommodate the larger size of AirTags.

Functional Overview

See how TagLockr is assembled using different tracking tags, and fits securely inside your bike’s steerer tube.

Fork Compatibility & Sizing

TagLockr is designed to work with a wide range of fork sizes and brands. While we're still finalizing a comprehensive compatibility list during this prototyping phase, forks with an inner steerer tube diameter of 32mm or larger are currently the most reliable fit. Technically, TagLockr can fit smaller diameters, but the limiting factor is the tracking tag itself—Apple AirTags measure 31.9mm wide, leaving little to no clearance in anything narrower.

Risks and Challenges
As a solo entrepreneur, the main risks for TagLockr involve potential delays in developing the best final product possible. While I've carefully planned each step from prototyping to production, unexpected setbacks could arise due to factors like sourcing materials, making design tweaks, etc.. To mitigate these risks, I've built flexibility into the production timeline, and am fully committed to transparent communication with backers, providing regular updates to ensure clarity and trust throughout the project.
