Installation

How do I install the tracker correctly?

First, expose the engine by removing the plastic cover.

Locate and check the rear light cable and remove the plug from the socket. Loosen the cable generously behind the plug. Strip some insulation from the cables on the plug and tracker side and reconnect the red and black cables in the Scotchloks (plastic clips) supplied and then press them together firmly with pliers. The internal conductive fluid will take a few seconds to cure.

Caution! Use a minimum of 6V and a maximum of 13V!

Mounting under metal and carbon may result in very poor GPS accuracy. The GPS accuracy should always be tested on a case-by-case basis - please contact us.

The tracker is then stored in the space provided (behind the engine cover). Make sure that the side with the antenna is facing away from the bike and towards the plastic cover. This side is marked by the white sticker on the tracker. Otherwise, the signal will be blocked and the tracker will not be able to send GPS points. Then reattach the engine cover to the bike.

Other locations must be agreed with our team.

Do you have illustrated instructions?
We have recorded the installation on various engines in videos for you. You can find all the installation videos here.
Do you have other connector solutions besides the universal cable?

Yes, in addition to the tracker with universal cable, we also offer other solutions:

  • LPP cable (Bosch Gen 4)
  • Third party plug (Bosch Gen 3)
Can I order mixed sales units (different cable solutions, different durations)?
No, this is not possible at the moment.
Is it possible to independently verify the functionality of the tracker?

In our QA tool (verification tool) you have the option to check the correct functioning of the tracker. However, this is only possible after the tracker has been activated.

You can access the QA tool here: itsmybike.cloud/qs

What do I do if I need to replace a tracker?
Please contact our support team with the new and old serial number of the tracker. Please do not replace the tracker without first contacting our support team - in some cases this can save you and the customer unnecessary trouble.

Troubleshooting

How does the tracker verification tool work/can I verify trackers myself?

You can check trackers yourself using our QA tool: itsmybike.cloud/qs

Please enter the serial number of the tracker you want to check into the tool and check the following points:

  • Power supply must be on for no more than 15 minutes before viewing in the tool
  • GPS should be available (only available if there is an active service on the tracker)
  • SIM status: if the SIM status is inactive, please contact our support team
I don't see the tracker I want to activate in the list.

If the desired tracker is not available for activation, this may be due to the following reasons:

No access code has been added (common)

The tracker already has a service (rare)

The access code is included with each order. We recommend that you assign the access code to your account/store directly in the Dealer Portal upon receipt of delivery to avoid delays in installation or sales.

The tracker does not work.

The most common causes of this are:

  • The tracker may be deeply discharged due to prolonged storage. Charge the tracker using an external charger (note: 9-12 volts). If charging is not possible, please contact support.
  • The tracker is not receiving GPS. Check the installation situation.
  • No service booking has been activated/stored for the tracker. Activate the tracker in the system.
The customer says that their tracker does not have GPS reception.

You can provide the customer with the following assistance or support:

  • The customer should take the bike outside for at least 20 minutes and switch it on so that the tracker gets power. At the same time, check the functionality of the tracker in the QA tool.
  • The location of the tracker may be sub-optimal. It may be necessary to re-evaluate the installation situation and, if in doubt, make a change.

Check the tracker in the QA tool for power and an active SIM card If you are still unable to receive a GPS signal, please contact our support team.

None or not all routes are recorded.

This can happen for the following reasons

  • The tracker has no GPS reception due to installation (see above for help).
  • The tracker has never been used outside of a building.
  • The customer drives too short a distance (<10 minutes) so these are not recorded
  • If the tracker is not fully charged when sold, it should be driven outside for at least 30 minutes for an initial GPS.
The customer says the tracker does not charge.

You can provide the following assistance or support to the customer:

  • The customer should take the bike outside for at least 20 minutes and switch it on so that the tracker gets power. At the same time, check the functionality of the tracker in the QA tool.
  • Check that the wiring is intact. ATTENTION: The cable must not be stripped for Scotchloks.
  • Depending on the length of storage, the tracker’s battery may not be fully functional. If in doubt, contact support.

ALTEOS

What is an ALTEOS tracker? What is the difference?
ALTEOS is our insurance partner who offers our tracker in combination with additional GPS e-bike insurance. The tracker is no different to our standard tracker, but is only sold in combination with the insurance. It is therefore a separate product with different packaging and activation.
Where can I buy ALTEOS trackers?
You can buy trackers directly from ALTEOS.
How do I activate an ALTEOS tracker?
Only with the customer’s insurance number. Once this has been entered and confirmed (as well as a positive functional test), the service is automatically activated
Can I add ALTEOS services to IT'S MY BIKE trackers and vice versa?
No, this is not possible.
What do I need to do to replace an ALTEOS tracker?
Please contact our support team with the new and old serial number of the tracker. Please do not carry out the exchange without prior consultation with our support team - in some cases this can save you and the customer unnecessary effort.
When activating an ALTEOS service I get the message 'Error: Contract does not include GPS option'. What should I do?
Contact ALTEOS Service to find out if a GPS tracker is included in your insurance policy.

FIT system

What is the FIT system?
The FIT system is an intelligent operating system designed specifically for e-bikes. It connects and controls individual components, such as the motor, battery, display and lights, to ensure optimal harmony throughout the system.
How is the tracker installed within the FIT system?
The tracker is integrated directly into the FIT system via a plug-and-play connection with the correct connector. Before connecting, it is important to check that the corresponding port on the system is active and that the correct voltage is applied.
What is the cost of the tracker?

The purchase prices (EK) are as follows:

  • For a three-year contract, the purchase price is €105 per unit.
  • For a five-year contract, the purchase price is €125 per unit.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
Yes, as with our other products, the tracker can only be ordered in quantities of five.
What differences does the connection to the FIT system result in?

One particular advantage of this system is its ability to read out CAN data. This enables the following information to be transmitted in real time:

  • The remaining battery capacity as a percentage
  • The remaining range in kilometres
  • The total mileage of the e-bike
What is the voltage range of the FIT-compatible plug tracker?
The tracker has been designed to operate with a power supply of between 6 and 17 volts, with a maximum short-term power consumption of 3.4 watts.
