Datatag E-Bike / Electric Scooter Security Marking System

E-Cycle / E-Scooter / E-Mobility Forensic Security Marking System

The UK'S Most Trusted Theft Deterrent System for Your Electric Bicycle, Scooter or Mobility Scooter.

Datatag is a unique, multi-layered security marking system allowing you to protect not just your bike frame, but also your valuable components such as forks, wheels, derailleurs etc. It's easy to install and simple to register your ownership details online.

Why Fit Datatag?

Should your bike be stolen and recovered by the Police, the Datatag identifiers can be used to return your bike to you. Datatag works with the Police to provide free database access on a 24/7 basis as well as technical training. Owners of Datatagged bikes and components can also benefit from reduced premiums from some major insurers. With Datatag you are getting lifetime protection for one low cost, with no ongoing monthly fees. It's also easy to transfer ownership should you wish to sell your bike.

At a time when bike interest is at its highest for many years, so unfortunately is bike theft with over 500,000 cycles reported stolen each year. A figure which hides the true picture as over half of all cycles stolen are from homes, a crime listed as a burglary, and many more go unreported.

The increasing trend of breaking down modern high end bikes to sell on the components means protecting an entire bike, and not simply the frame, is vital in the fight against crime. This is where Datatag, security experts already trusted to provide the technology behind many official industry schemes come in.

The UV "Stealth" system offers a multi-layered approach to cycle security. Recent theft figures for all cycles marked with the new Datatag Stealth systems indicate a theft rate of just 0.5%. This is an incredible result as according to the police the historic average is 10%, with road.cc suggesting it's actually as high as 20%. The Police recover thousands of cycles each year but due to a lack of crime reporting and a lack of owner registration many are simply sold at auction and never returned to their rightful owners. A Datatag system will not only help deter theft but will also help in reuniting you should your bike be stolen and recovered as it provides undeniable proof of ownership.

The Datatag Forensic Security Marking System offers premier identifiers combined with probably the most comprehensive database of its kind in the market today. Equally importantly, Datatag works with the Police to back up the product and provides free database access on a 24/7 basis as well as technical training. Owners of Datatagged cycles can also benefit from reduced premiums from some of the major insurers.

Technology

"Stealth" UV Etch

The Datatag System contains 4 UV "stealth" etches to permanently mark your frame and forks. The unique, almost invisible UV etching system forms a major part of the theft deterrent and subsequent identification. Marking your cycle/scooter permanently these "stealth" UV etches won't visibly mark your cycle/scooter paintwork.

Datadots

Developed for ease of application these microscopic Datadots can be applied to any surface, thus making it virtually impossible for the criminals to locate and remove them all. The Datadots, held in a UV trace silicon glue, can be used to mark all your cycle/scooter components and accessories.

Ultimate TE Label

These specially designed Datatag tamper evident labels contain a unique cycle/scooter identification number and QR code. The system contains 2 labels to protect your cycle/scooter plus your battery pack. They warn off any potential thieves and are both attractive and impossible to remove without damage.

E-Cycle / E-Scooter Theft Facts

Myth: Police never find stolen bikes / scooters.

Fact: The Police recover many thousands of stolen bikes / scooters every year. But with no link to owners many are sold at auction and not returned.

Myth: Expensive bikes / scooters are sold on through unscrupulous dealers or online.

Fact: Expensive bikes / scooters become parts within hours of being stolen and frames are junked. Components, often more valuable than frames, are sold with zero risk to thieves as they have no identifying marks or numbers. Recovery rates as low as 5% supports this evidence.

Myth: You can identify your bike / scooters on line when the thief tries to sell it!

Fact: Even if you do find your stolen bike / scooters on line, proving that it is actually your bike / scooters is very difficult - often impossible - so trying to get police to take action is very hard.
