Kovix Brake Lever Lock with Alarm KOL-B

Product Information

An alarm by itself won’t necessarily prevent your bike being stolen. It will hopefully attract enough attention to deter the thieves, but that isn’t always the case, and particularly in big cities, motorcycle thieves are more brazen than ever. Motorcycle alarms come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and types, which can make sifting through to find the right one a bit of a minefield. The alarm unit uses three AAA batteries and the remote requires a 12V/27A battery. There is a 20-metre wireless range between the alarm and remote and the alarm has a water-resistance rating of IP65. In contrast to the ABUS, the Fosmon alarm is significantly cheaper but is a brilliant alarm for your motorcycle. Fowlers of Bristol Ltd aims to always provide high quality goods that are fault free and undamaged. On occassions however, goods may need to be returned:

The most important feature of an alarm is that it will sound if it detects movement. You want to choose an alarm with a volume loud enough to attract attention. An alarm with a sound level of 100 dB or above is a good standard to aim for. If you have provided us with your mobile number, you will receive delivery notifications from our chosen courier advising you on an approximate time in which they expect to arrive to you. Please note however that all times are estimates. If any goods develop faults within their warranty period, you are entitled to a repair or replacement under the terms of that warranty Once mounted, you control the alarm via the remote, both to arm and disarm. Another useful feature is that, using the remote, you can put the alarm into SOS mode, so the alarm will sound to attract attention if you need it.

The highlight of the device is that the alarm is based on the ABUS 3D detection system. This system can detect even the slightest vibration or movement which would indicate a theft attempt. The 100-dB alarm is then triggered upon detection.

If you park your bike outside of your house or within view of where you work, this alarm could act as a useful first-stage alert that something’s not quite right.The alarm is sensitive, so bear that in mind with placement; even winds can trigger the alarm if the unit moves around too much. Most thieves won’t want to be easily seen and they definitely won’t want a 100-decibel alarm blazing away. Statistically, your bike will be less likely to be stolen if it’s under a cover, too, so think about carrying one for when you park up. There are two main types around; hinged sleeves in brightly-coloured plastic so that thieves can see them and hopefully carry on to the next bike, and those machined in alloy, either left in natural colour or anodised to look good. Which you choose is up to you, but the most important thing is you use it – it’s no use to you at all if it’s still under the seat. While the other alarms in our list sound an actual alarm to hopefully deter thieves, the Monimoto simply alerts you instead.
