Features
Easy to install Mount the Cycloop on the seat tube of your bike - only 4x screws to install it in place, with screws and a special key included in the package. The anti-theft system comes with batteries already installed, so you can start using it right away.
Simple setup The Cycloop anti-theft system will pair with your phone via a mobile app. On first use, the app will guide you through a simple setup wizard. You will also be able to fine-tune device sensitivity. Cycloop comes with an eSIM pre-installed for seamless connectivity.
Deters thieves Installed on the seat tube of your bike, Cycloop acts as an effective thief deterrent. The GPS anti-theft tracker will alert you as soon as it is tampered with. Cycloop uses specially designed screwheads - it is highly unlikely the device can be removed without specialist tools or damage to the bike itself, making your bike an unattractive target to thieves.
Damage resistant Cycloop is resistant to blows, cuts and other physical damage. Unlike bike locks, it is highly unlikely the device could be removed ‘in the act’. The anti-theft system will alert you as soon as it detects any tampering - way before there is any reasonable chance to remove it from your bike.
Long battery life Cycloop comes with a 3.7V Li-Polymer rechargeable battery, with enough ‘juice’ to power the device for 12 months (without the use of external LED lights). With the lights on, Cycloop will need to be recharged only once in 3 months (with 2 hour daily usage).
Calls your phone A phone call is worth more than 100 notifications - at least in getting someone's attention. Cycloop calls your phone in less than a minute when suspicious movement or device tampering is detected. It helps you to notify the authorities or react instantly to stop your bicycle theft in its tracks.
Maintenance free Install, secure and forget. With batteries enough to power your device for 12+ months (you will be alerted via the app in case their level gets low), there is no tracker maintenance required.
Water resistant Well, of course, Cycloop is water resistant and weather-proof. Rain or shine, road or trail, Cycloop will humbly serve you wherever your adventure will take you.
Ergonomic design Cycloop combines style and security into an easy-to-install package. It bonds with your bike frame and is the best looking bicycle anti-theft device. Period. In addition to looks, Cycloop is designed to withstand damage, mounts securely on your bike and is IP65 rated.
Improved visibility It’s not only about the bike’s security. It’s also about you. Cycloop doubles as a lighting accessory at night, making you more visible to the surrounding traffic. The lights may be disabled for improved battery life.

How Cycloop’s Anti-Theft System Works
At the heart of Cycloop lies a sophisticated combination of motion sensors and an integrated GPS module. When you leave your bike, Cycloop automatically enters its armed state – no manual activation is required. The device continuously monitors for any unusual movement or vibration that could indicate tampering. Even the slightest attempt to cut, break, or remove the tracker triggers an immediate response. The built-in eSIM ensures that Cycloop stays connected to the cellular network at all times, so you’re never out of touch with your bike.
The detection system is smart enough to differentiate between accidental bumps – like a ball hitting the wheel – and a deliberate theft attempt. Customisable sensitivity settings in the mobile app let you fine-tune the responsiveness to match your environment. Once a potential threat is identified, Cycloop sends a push notification to your phone within seconds. If the suspicious activity continues, the device escalates quickly: a loud audible alert may sound (depending on your settings), and within less than a minute, it will place a direct phone call to your number. This layered approach means you are alerted instantly and can take action before a thief has any chance to succeed.
All communication is handled seamlessly through the pre‑installed eSIM, which operates across multiple European mobile networks. There’s no need to insert a physical SIM card, sign up for a separate data plan, or worry about roaming charges when you travel. Cycloop automatically selects the strongest available signal, ensuring reliable alerts whether your bike is parked in a bustling city centre, a quiet suburban street, or a remote countryside trail.
Smart Alerts and Phone Notifications
Cycloop’s alert system is designed to cut through the noise of everyday phone notifications. While many anti‑theft trackers rely solely on app alerts that can easily be missed, Cycloop takes it a step further. As the existing features highlight, it calls your phone directly – a far more attention‑grabbing method. But the phone call is only part of a broader notification strategy. The Cycloop mobile app provides a detailed alert history, showing timestamps, GPS coordinates, and the type of event (e.g., “motion detected” or “tamper alert”).
You can also configure secondary contacts, such as a family member or a trusted neighbour, to receive alerts simultaneously. This multi‑channel notification ensures that even if you’re temporarily unavailable, someone else can check on your bike. All alerts are sent in real time, utilising both data (app push) and voice (phone call) channels for maximum reliability. In areas with poor data connectivity, the voice call still gets through – an important redundancy that sets Cycloop apart from purely data‑dependent trackers.
Tracking and Recovery
Should the worst happen and your bike is moved without your permission, Cycloop’s integrated GPS tracker becomes your eyes on the ground. Once the device enters “stolen” mode – either automatically after sustained tampering or manually triggered by you via the app – it begins transmitting its location at frequent intervals. You can follow the movement on a live map within the app, and this data can be shared directly with law enforcement or insurance companies to assist recovery efforts.
The GPS receiver is highly sensitive and works well even in urban canyons or under light cover. Historical location data is stored securely in the cloud, giving you a breadcrumb trail of exactly where the bike has been. This feature also doubles as a ride log, useful for tracking your own journeys and monitoring fitness metrics if you choose to enable that mode. Recovery stories from cyclists across Europe prove that a hidden, tamper‑resistant GPS tracker significantly increases the chances of getting a stolen bike back undamaged.
Installation and Compatibility
While the existing text covers the basics of mounting, it’s worth delving deeper into what makes Cycloop fit so naturally on your bike. The mounting bracket is engineered from reinforced polymer, contoured to match the curvature of a typical seat tube. Rubberised inserts ensure a vibration‑dampening, non‑slip grip without scratching the frame. The package includes spacers and longer screws to accommodate a range of tube diameters – from slender road bike frames to chunkier mountain bike or e‑bike down tubes. Even bikes with non‑standard geometries or accessory bosses can be adapted with basic tools.
The “specially designed screwheads” mentioned earlier are part of a proprietary security system. They require the included custom spanner, making it extremely difficult for a thief to unscrew the device in a hurry. Cycloop is compatible with virtually all frame materials – aluminium, steel, carbon fibre, titanium – and its weather‑proof design means it won’t corrode or loosen over time. Whether you ride a city commuter, a carbon road racer, an e‑cargo bike, or a folding bike, Cycloop can be installed in minutes without affecting the ride or the looks of your machine.
Peace of Mind on Every Ride
Ultimately, Cycloop is about more than just technology; it’s about the freedom to enjoy your ride and then leave your bike without that nagging worry. Imagine locking up outside a café, in front of a university lecture hall, or at a train station bike rack. Instead of glancing back every few seconds, you can relax, knowing Cycloop is silently watching. If anyone tampers with the bike – even if they cut through a traditional lock – you’ll know instantly. This peace of mind transforms the way you use your bike, encouraging more cycling and reducing the anxiety that often accompanies owning a valuable bike in an urban environment.
Cycloop also empowers you to make smarter security decisions. By reviewing the alert and location history, you can identify high‑risk parking spots or habits that expose your bike to unnecessary danger. The device’s presence alone acts as a visible deterrent, especially when the optional LED lights are enabled. A glowing, well‑secured tracker signals to potential thieves that this bike is protected by more than just a cable lock, making it a much less attractive target.
Developed with European Cyclists in Mind
Cycloop was conceived and tested on European streets, where cycling is not just a hobby but a way of life. The device meets strict European regulatory standards for wireless devices (CE‑marked) and is certified to IP65 for dust and water resistance – essential for the varied climates from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. Its eSIM is provisioned with multi‑carrier support, optimised for the major network operators across the EU, EEA, and Switzerland, ensuring robust connectivity without border hassles. Customer support is multilingual, and the app interface is available in several European languages.
Environmental responsibility was also a key consideration. The rechargeable lithium‑polymer battery eliminates disposable batteries and the waste they create. When the time finally comes to replace the battery after many years of service, the device is designed with recyclability in mind. Cycloop’s long operational life and minimal energy consumption reflect a commitment to sustainability, aligning with the values of cyclists who care about the planet they ride on.
