So, you’ve just got a new bike, congratulations!
You are about to embark on some great adventures and we’re here to help you to get started with some of the best accessories for your motorcycle. Before you hit the road, here’s some essential gadgets for your motorcycle you need to get started on your adventure.
Bike Intercom
When you’re bike riding with friends, how do you communicate with each other? Shouting across the road isn’t the best option. That’s where an intercom comes in: easy communication between you and other riders. These are usually in your helmet so you can always hear your other bikers you are out and about with.
Motorcycle Sat-Nav Systems
You’ve got on your bike, and are planning to go on a road trip, but how do you get there? Road signs aren’t the most reliable and can often lead to wrong turns or missing junctions and ending up getting lost. Well, that’s where a satellite navigation system comes in handy, ensuring that you know where you are going. Bike specific Sat Navs ensure you can still use them no matter what the weather.
Helmet Camera
Whilst riding you’ve seen some amazing views, it would be great to look back on them, but how? Why not invest in an action camera you’ll be spending hours on your motorcycle. These cameras not only capture stunning footage of your rides — they also help ensure you’re staying safe and legal on the road, discouraging risky behaviour like using a mobile phone while riding.
You’ve reached the end of your biking adventure for the day, which means it’s time to think about what could happen to your bike when you aren’t riding it. Motorcycles are a huge target for thieves, so ensuring your new bike is safe is an essential. Having a visual deterrent to protect against motorcycle theft is a great starting point to keeping your bike secured.
Bike Lock
Products such as the Datatool Croc-Lock are a simple way to protect against bike theft. The Croc-Lock is available in 3 different colours allowing it to stand out against your bike and acting as a visual deterrent against theft. It attaches to the brake lever and handlebar, preventing the vehicle from being pushed or ridden away.
GPS Tracker
It’s a given that your that your brand new bike will be your pride and joy that you’ll be thinking about it constantly so why not track it 24/7. GPS trackers such as the Datatool Stealth allow you to be able to track your bike no matter what the hour is. They can instantly notify you with real-time theft alerts of any unauthorised movement of your bike, through the app on your phone. These also help to locate your motorcycle in the unfortunate even that has been stolen, along with direct police liaison through their UK based support centre. Some insurance companies require bikes to have Thatcham approved trackers and thankfully the Datatool Stealth is Thatcham S5 approved.
Motorcycle Alarm
Adding a motorcycle alarm is another great way to ensure that your bike is protected. The LFA by Datatool is a perfect example of an effective motorcycle alarm, emitting a high pitched siren and alerting those nearby. This can only be disarmed by a personal key fob ensuring protection against unauthorised movement of your motorcycle.
Unique Identification System
In the unfortunate event that your motorcycle is stolen, having a unique identification system on your bike such as can be invaluable. Motorcycles are often stripped for parts, but these systems prevent this by marking individual components with microscopic dots — invisible to the naked eye but detectable under UV light and with specialist magnifiers used by police and authorities.
