Market: This is what today's bicycle anti-theft device looks like! Thanks to the world's first automatic Bluetooth lock LINKA keyless now also with the bicycle collection. The German importer Messingschlager has exclusively taken over the distribution of the innovative app-controlled alarm lock.
The LINKA Bluetooth lock heralds a new era in bicycle locks. A key is not required for either locking or unlocking. To lock the lock and activate the alarm at the same time, all you have to do is press a button on the side. Unlocking and alarm deactivation are carried out via app. If the owner approaches at least 1,5 meters, the alarm is deactivated with the appropriate app setting and the lock is automatically unlocked.

If the lock has to be unlocked manually, for example if the battery is empty, this can be done directly on the lock using a 4-digit code.

If the owner is within a radius of 120 meters, he will also receive a warning in the form of a push notification in the event of unauthorized movement of the bicycle.
