Comodule launches Share My Bike, Bike Passport, and Theft Reporting features to elevate e-bike security and sharing
In the world of e-bikes, connectivity has traditionally focused on tracking and anti-theft security—but rarely addresses the complexities of post-theft recovery. Comodule’s latest Companion App release fills this gap with new features that simplify bike sharing and significantly improve recovery options if a bike goes missing. With Share My Bike, Digital Bike Passport, and In-App Theft Reporting, Comodule now offers a comprehensive digital security kit that protects bikes at every stage, from prevention to recovery, setting a new standard in e-bike security.
Share My Bike: enabling seamless access for families and businesses
The Share My Bike feature brings a new level of convenience to e-bike ownership, allowing users to share digital access with family, friends, or colleagues via a secure link. It’s particularly valuable for cargo bikes like Christiania Bikes, where shared use is common, whether for family outings or business deliveries.
“The new sharing feature is essential in a Christiania Bike because sharing a cargobike with more users is a common practice. You can now easily share your Christiania Bike with friends and family without having to coordinate physical keys. Same goes for businesses that can share the same Christiania Bike for deliveries, or for rental bike shops, hotels, or similar businesses, which can share a bike with their customers.”
Digital Bike Passport: simplified proof of ownership
Something that is still very analog in bike recovery is proving ownership once the bike is found. How many of us carry the physical bike pass with us or know the frame number on the go? The Digital Bike Passport addresses this need by creating a secure, digital identity for each bike, recording essential bike details such as the frame number, model, and color and more. If a bike is reported stolen, these records are automatically linked to the theft report, making ownership verification seamless and saving valuable time when it matters most.
In-App Theft Reporting: immediate action for better recovery rates
If a Comodule-connected bike is moved while locked, the app instantly alerts all connected users, prompting them to check for unusual activity. In case of theft, the owner can use In-App Theft Reporting to submit a report directly to FRIS, Comodule’s dedicated bike recovery partner operating across Europe. The feature generates an automatic theft report, including bike information and the live location link, that’s sent directly to the recovery service crew. This feature removes the time-consuming and often complicated process of filing police reports, allowing FRIS to act immediately, tracking the bike and recovering it within 48 hours, and returning the bike to its owner after finding it.
Overcoming the challenges of after-theft recovery
Traditional bike recovery poses challenges for the average cyclist, requiring rapid response, coordination, and secure proof of ownership. Comodule’s solution addresses these challenges through:
Community and professional recovery: Riders can involve their community through live tracking links or rely on FRIS’s professional network, making solo recovery a thing of the past.
Streamlined theft reporting: The Companion App replaces the manual reporting process with a digital theft report, expediting the response to increase recovery odds.
Proof of ownership with Digital Bike Passport: Once the bike is located, verifying ownership is quick and straightforward with digital records, removing the need for physical paperwork.
“Digital tracking, anti-theft features, and added services are the logical next step in e-bike security. By providing real-time protection and making these tools easy to use, we’re helping riders reclaim their bikes and shaping a future where connected mobility is the standard.”

These new features represent Comodule’s commitment to creating a future-proof e-bike ecosystem where security, convenience, and connectivity come together.
