Bikebac

What Bikebac does

Bikebac, operated by Gearbac Technologies Inc. and headquartered in Whistler, British Columbia, manufactures Bluetooth Low Energy bike trackers that integrate with Apple's Find My network (MFI-certified) and Google's Android Find Hub (OS 9+), relaying location data through those platforms' global device fleets without cellular connectivity or subscription fees. The core product line consists of two SKUs — a US$39.99 Apple-compatible tracker and a US$39.99 Android-compatible tracker — both IP67-rated, powered by a replaceable CR2032 battery with approximately one-year life, and designed for discreet mounting on standard water bottle or under-seat locations. In October 2025 the company extended into combined hardware security with the Nunchuk, a Sold Secure Gold and ART 2 certified folding lock that houses a Bikebac tracker in its frame-mounted holder, priced at CA$159.99 (CA$99.99 early bird).

The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through bikebac.com on Shopify, supplemented by distribution in 500+ bike shops worldwide and fulfillment from warehouses in North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware sales — there is no subscription, service, or software component. Marketing combines organic social (Instagram, Facebook), email, SMS, earned media in cycling publications, and a community pre-order group for the Nunchuk. The Money Back Missing Bike Guarantee, contingent on registration with bike-registry partner Project 529 Garage, serves as the primary differentiation versus commodity Bluetooth trackers.

The company is privately held, was founded by Brian White, Vincent Grace, and Rob Wheeler in Whistler, and currently operates with 1–10 employees. No venture funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed, indicating the business has scaled to date primarily through reinvested hardware margins.

Core offering

Bikebac designs, manufactures, and sells Bluetooth Low Energy bike trackers that integrate with Apple Find My and Android Find Hub networks to locate stolen or missing bicycles without subscription fees or cellular connectivity.

Product overview

Bikebac offers a portfolio of Bluetooth-based bike tracking products designed to recover stolen bikes.

Both trackers use Bluetooth 5.2 to relay location through their respective device networks without subscription fees, feature IP67 waterproofing and 1-year battery life. The company recently launched the Nunchuk, a premium product combining a high-security ART 2 and Sold Secure Gold certified folding lock with an integrated tracker in the frame-mounted holder, representing a unified physical and digital security solution. All products work with the Find My/Find Hub smartphone apps and offer a Money Back Missing Bike Guarantee through Project 529 Garage registration.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Knog: Knog is an established bike accessories brand selling locks, lights, and trackers through bike retailers globally. They represent a comparable premium consumer bike accessories brand expanding into the connected/smart bike accessory category that Bikebac is also entering with Nunchuk.
• Kryptonite: Kryptonite is a leading U.S. bike lock brand with Sold Secure and ART ratings, directly comparable to the Nunchuk on physical security certifications. They represent an incumbent threat as Bikebac expands from pure tracker into integrated lock+tracker.
• Apple AirTag: Apple AirTag is the dominant BLE tracker leveraging Apple's Find My network, the same network Bikebac integrates with. While not bike-specific, AirTag is the primary competitive threat as a general-purpose alternative that consumers may repurpose for bikes with aftermarket mounts.
• Tile: Tile (now part of Life360) is a major BLE tracker brand competing in the broader find-my-device category. While not bike-specialized, Tile competes for the same use cases (finding lost valuables) and offers an alternative platform to Apple/Google for BLE relay networks.
• ABUS: ABUS is a major German bike lock manufacturer whose products hold Sold Secure and ART certifications similar to Nunchuk. With the Nunchuk launch, Bikebac competes in the high-security folding lock category where ABUS is a category leader.

Direct peers

• Sherlock Bike Tracker: Sherlock is a direct competitor offering a GPS+Bluetooth bike tracker with built-in SIM and subscription model. It targets the same high-value bike theft recovery use case as Bikebac but charges ongoing fees, making Bikebac's subscription-free positioning a direct contrast.
• Boomerang Bike Tracker: Boomerang is a cellular-based bike GPS tracker with subscription model targeting bike theft recovery. It overlaps directly with Bikebac on use case (bicycle theft recovery) and customer (high-value bike owners), differing primarily in connectivity approach.
• Invoxia Bike Tracker: Invoxia sells GPS bike trackers that use cellular networks and require a subscription. They compete in the same anti-theft recovery category for bikes and e-bikes, but their subscription requirement is exactly the model Bikebac's subscription-free design attacks.

Emerging players

• Cycliq: Cycliq makes connected bike accessories including cameras and lights, targeting the same premium cycling consumer who values security and connected features. They represent an emerging connected-bike-accessory peer expanding into adjacent categories Bikebac also serves.
• Chipolo: Chipolo offers BLE trackers with both Apple Find My and Google Find My Device network compatibility, similar to Bikebac's dual-platform approach. They compete in the broader tracker category with similar network-leverage economics to Bikebac.
