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.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Streamlined theft reporting: The Companion App replaces the manual reporting process with a digital theft report, expediting the response to increase recovery odds.

  3. 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.

A future-ready security solution for connected e-bikes

These new features represent Comodule’s commitment to creating a future-proof e-bike ecosystem where security, convenience, and connectivity come together. With a combination of smart locks, movement alerts, and alarms, e-bike owners are empowered to protect their bikes from theft and act immediately when issues arise.

A comprehensive ecosystem for e-bike owners and brands

Comodule can provide bike brands IoT solutions for a digital cycling experience. Smart features not only enhance security, convenience and functionality for riders but can also open doors for new business models, such as micro-sharing for rental shops or businesses with shared bike fleets.
