Bisecu Smart Bicycle Lock - Smart Bike Lock

BISECU, Forget the lock and enjoy the ride.

Bisecu is the world’s lightest and first fully automated smart bicycle lock. At only 1/4 weight of the widely used U-lock, Bisecu is completely keyless by using patent pending bluetooth technology. Because the smart lock is securely installed on the bicycle, there is no need to carry or use a heavy conventional lock. Simply approach the bike, and leave the bike- the front wheel will lock itself. Bisecu also has an additional security feature that sounds a loud alarm and notifies the owner in the case of theft. Bisecu also provides cycling data such as distance, speed, and calories burned.

Locking and unlocking your bike, lugging around a clunky piece of metal, searching for your keys, all of these actions take away from the riding experience. Bisecu Inc. is excited to announce Bisecu, a new smart hardware accessory for your bike. Bisecu is the lightest, most securest smart bicycle lock – a beautiful blend of advanced technology and design. Bisecu’s features: smartphone distance based automatic unlocking and locking, a design that prevents the lock from being cut, and a real time speedometer. Bisecu turns your bicycle into a smart transportation device.

Features

-Automatic lock: Bisecu’s smartphone recognition instantly knows when you’ve approached your bike and automatically unlocks. When you leave your bike, it locks on its own. No more searching for the keys, stooping over to unlock, or carrying around a heavy piece of metal. Just approach your bike and ride. Forget about the lock and enjoy your ride.
-Secure design: Don’t worry about your bike being stolen. Bisecu’s unique design means that the lock cannot be cut.

Bisecu sensors trigger a 100db alarm and send a notification via its mobile app in the case of tampering and foul play.
-Real time data: Bisecu turns your smartphone into a display and becomes a cycling computer that provides data on distance travelled, speed, and slope. Bisecu remains attached to the wheel and measures the number of wheel turns. Therefore, it is able to deliver riding data with precision. You can track your rides more easily with Bisecu.

Bisecu Story and Mission

Three engineering students in Korea came together because they were frustrated with their riding experience. They founded Bisecu Inc in 2016 with one mission: better the bicycling experience by stripping away the nuisances in bike riding. Backed by Korean VC Futureplay, it is a brewing startup preparing its Kickstarter launch in Q2 2017.

The Product

It’s first product, Bisecu, aims to get rid of the most negative part of the riding experience- locking and unlocking your bike. It allows users to even forget that the lock is even there. The fully automatic lock eliminates the need to carry around a clunky piece of metal, eliminates the hassle of searching for a key, and also delivers precision riding data in real time. Keyless entry can be triggered when the user approaches the bike, and Bisecu locks automatically when the user leaves the bike. Bisecu’s unique design ensures that the lock cannot be cut and the bicycle ridden off. This is how most bike thefts occur. It is the lightest smart bicycle lock by a large margin (weighing only 350g which is ¼ of the U-lock). The lock stays on the bicycle front wheel and provides accurate real time cycling data, meaning bicycle riders can save an extra hundred they would spend on a cycling computer.

Keyless and automatic lock

It is an automatic lock that recognizes your smartphone. No more bending over, looking for your keys, taking away from the riding experience. The keyless entry is seamless- if you approach your bike, it unlocks itself, if you leave your bike, it locks automatically. It takes 0 seconds to unlock your bike. So you can focus on the more important things in life.

Designed for security

Bisecu was designed for security. Most bicycle thefts occur once the lock has been cut. Bisecu reinvents the lock through its design that prevents cutting.
There is also an added level of security. Bisecu sensors trigger a 100db alarm and app notification in the case of tampering and foul play.

The lightest smart bike lock

Why should the lock slow you down? Bisecu stays attached to the front wheel at all times, but it is also light enough to not slow you down. It is the lightest smart bike lock, weighing only 350g (0.77lbs), which is ¼ of the conventional U-lock.

Cycling computer

That’s not all, it’s not just a lock. Bisecu is also a cycling computer that provides data on distance travelled, speed, and slope. Bisecu remains attached to the wheel and measures the number of wheel turns; therefore delivers riding data with precision. You can track your rides more easily with Bisecu. Bisecu automatically recognizes when you are beginning to ride, unlike other products that need to be toggled on. It’s a real time speedometer. By relaying the data to your mobile screen, you can see the stats in real-time. Users do not need to splurge an extra hundred on a speedometer because Bisecu is a lock and cycling computer in one.
