A few years ago, I invested in a sleek, lightweight mountain bike—my pride and joy. It wasn’t just a way to commute; it was my morning stress reliever, my weekend adventure buddy, my escape from screens and city noise. I took precautions—used two different locks, parked in visible spots—but one morning, it was gone. Just like that. No broken locks, no trace, just an empty rack and a sinking heart. I never replaced that bike. Not because I didn’t want to, but because the fear stayed with me.
What Is WheelKeep?
WheelKeep is an invisible bicycle security system built for cyclists who want peace of mind without bulky gadgets or visible deterrents. It combines an elegant, concealed hardware device with a mobile app, keeping your bike protected around the clock.
At its core, WheelKeep uses motion sensors to instantly alert you when your bike is moved. With real-time push notifications, you can react fast—sometimes fast enough to scare off a thief before the bike is even taken. If you’re too late, don’t panic. The system switches into tracking mode, showing your bike’s location live on a map via GPS.
Better still, the device lasts over 3 months on a single charge, is easily rechargeable via USB Type-C, and once topped up, is protected by an anti-vandal cap that shields it from dust, rain, and prying hands.
Bye Bye AirTags and Traditional Locks
Unlike AirTags, which notify iPhone users they’re being tracked (essentially alerting thieves), WheelKeep is silent, smart, and invisible. Plus, AirTags aren’t rechargeable. When you install WheelKeep, it’s inside your bike’s structure, concealed from sight and tamper-resistant. The result? A true stealth tracker that blends in with your bike’s design and avoids detection.
Physical locks can be cut. Visible GPS trackers can be removed. But WheelKeep is designed to go unnoticed, giving you the upper hand. It fits most mountain bikes and bikes with carbon or metal steerer tubes. And let’s not forget the Recovery Service—available now in select European countries and coming to the U.S. in 2026. If your bike is stolen, professionals track it down and return it to you.
Your Chance to Back the Future of Bike Security
The creators of WheelKeep—four long-time cycling enthusiasts—built this system after losing their own bikes and realizing how outdated most bike protection still is. Their mission? A future where cycling is secure, smart, and stress-free.
Kickstarter backers get up to 50% off the subscriptions (Basic: $2/month, Premium: $8/month), and access to WheelKeep at a massive discount before its MSRP jumps to $255. You’ll be among the first to own this revolutionary product and help shape its future.
If you’ve ever had a bike stolen—or even just feared it—this is your chance to ride without fear.
