An Alarm On Your Bike?

SO CHECK THIS OUT...
Links
I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE. ITS GOT A REMOTE, HOW COOL IS THAT.IT ALSO RUNS ON BATTERIES...BONUS.
I THOUGHT OF IT AFTER A GUY FROM A DIFFERENT THREAD SAID SOMEONE VANDALIZED HIS BIKE. YOU STILL NEED A GOOD BIKE LOCK THOUGH. WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS? YAA OR NAA?

You know that thing would be pretty cool if a guy could incorporate that with...say, one of those 1,000,000 volt taser guns!

That way, when the perpetrator got near enough to actually touch the bike, a lightning fast charge of high-power voltage would drop that guy for you to find and clean out his wallet, or maybe better yet, drive him far away, take his shoes, and leave out there!

I'm interested now. Are there any techno wizards handy with a solder gun here who would like to make me one?

Maybe even start a new line of them with the motto "Reach out and touch someone!"

Seriously, I'd buy one!!

A Taser Charge Would Be Sweet. Bike Vandals Need A Good Shock...they Deserve It. It Would Be Funny If That Alarm Made A Chirping Sound Like The Cars Do On Disarm And Arm.

Yeah,, this is a good idea....Id buy one and have been thinking this over for a little bit of time now. though I have to say.... Isnt the web full of these already..it seems so obvious. Hasnt this been iterated before by other people ,,It seems with all the work you put it, 25 dollars of insurance is a smart move. Although in Texas our insurance is measured in gauges.

But seriously..I was thinking something like Ultra long range RFID similar to lojack.
Possibly building one but parts are expensive.

Some companies will offer a type of asset recovery using RFID. Thats what Ive been thinking, the better RFID Vendor use algorithms like RSSI or TDOA to determine the bike or whatevers location in real time...other rfid vendors just have a general long range detection,,,hard to pinpoint exactly ya know...crap software.
you can stick the metal tag on the bike and hide it somehow. They run for 5 to 10 years.

wifi rfid.....im not sure...what the best option is

I use one of these bike alarms on my mountain bike...it's well hidden and secured in an under seat bag, it has a charging jack too so I can recharge when required. The alarm is plenty loud enough to get noticed and being in the nylon seat bag makes little difference in the loudness. The remote is pretty good too with great range and as well you adjust the alarm's functions like sensitivity, chirp mode etc with it...has a panic mode too. An alarm cannot be ones only means of security for a bike unfortunately though, gotta have good locks too that require enough tampering to set the alarm off which hopefully will deter the bad person from continuing.


Cheers...

I just dont ride my bike and then leave it alone , I would if it didnt have a motor on it . But my build is to important to leave it sitting somewhere all by itself ya know. I like the lojack idea the best myself, be very cool to have to cops locate my bike and discover the culprit red handed with it and see the surprise in his eyes.

But the punishment for bike theft is not that hi , thats why it happens alot in city areas.Since most bikes are not that valuable like say a car would be , its barely a slap on the wrist when they get caught.

another idea that you mentioned is the electric shock treatment if someone touched your bike. It could be done easily enough with some techy knowledge.Plus to me that would be most satisfying, you could rig it to the brake or clutch levers so everytime they touched it , they would get a nice jolt . lol

I go here

That one pretty cool, kind of like the one I saw at JC W.

stolen bike

I was at the Whizzer dealer's house, talking shop. He showed me two holes in the ground where a 2 inch steel pipe WAS concreted down 18 inches deep.
He was in his garage, about twenty feet away, working. He went inside to pee, about 90 seconds. As he went back outside he heard an engine revving and some metallic clanking. When he stepped a few feet in the direction of his two Whizzers chained to the steel pipe, he saw a pick-up truck spinning its tires in the dirt. A young man was throwing some clutter into the bed, he didn't compute what his eyes were telling him; thieves had just pulled the pipe out of the ground and were driving away with 2/3 of his inventory, two 2005 Whizzers.
He showed me an alarm he installed on his one remaining bike. It was a car system adapted to his bike. It was installed by his son a car alarm installer. It was so discrete no part of it showed at all, well, except for a small bundle of wires going up the seat post.
He probably isn't a Whizzer dealer anymore, he got fed up with the company, and the theft.

It would actually be extremely simple to rig up an alarm to activate a taser instead of, or in addition to going off. The tricky part would be where to hide it all (it would be as big as a bike alarm+taser) and what to charge with the taser. Personally, I would imagine the best place to put it would be 2 small electrodes on the seat... (they could be as simple as 2 small wires that you would never feel). When someone else sat down on it, they would receive one **** of a shock.

Its a cool idea, I looked into doing something similar to my car... charging it against the ground so that if someone touched it, they would receive a taser shock. Its definitely not quite legal to have a security system on a vehicle that attack someone.

Maybe a much lower jolt than a Taser can be administered via tampering.
