As e-bikes keep getting exponentially better, security is becoming a prime concern. With the rise in popularity of electric bicycles, there’s been an unfortunate increase in thefts. These modern rides aren’t cheap – some can even cost more than $10,000. Losing one of these can be a hard blow to someone’s wallet. Plus, their compact and lightweight design makes them easy targets for thieves, and such incidents will only get more common with time.

The C-Finder is integrated into the bike’s frame to help locate it

Addressing this growing issue, Corratec, a German e-bike brand, is introducing a novel solution in its 2024 models – the C-Finder tracking technology. Developed in collaboration with Kathrein Solutions, an expert in electronics and antenna systems, the C-Finder is integrated seamlessly into the bike’s frame. This innovative device offers a significant advantage in locating stolen e-bikes.

What sets the C-Finder apart is its reliance on Apple’s Find My network, one of the most widespread networks globally. This integration means that e-bike owners don’t need to download extra software or apps – as long as they have an iPhone. For Android users interested in the 2024 Corratec e-bikes, it might be time to consider switching to an iPhone, as there are no plans for an Android launch soon.

Corratec’s decision to use Apple‘s technology is both efficient and cost-effective. The C-Finder doesn’t just offer a way to locate a stolen bike; it adds an essential layer of security to these premium machines. Remarkably, the device can last a year without charging and also recharges itself when the e-bike is plugged in. This collaboration between a bike manufacturer and a tech giant could set a new standard in the industry, offering peace of mind to e-bike owners.
