Theft Report
In case of theft, the user can report it in the app, which sends the user’s bike information and live GPS location to the recovery service, enabling fast and seamless assistance.
Recovery Service
When the user reports theft, the recovery service receives the live information digitally for immediate recovery. If the bike cannot be found or retrieved, the theft log is sent automatically to the insurance provider
