About
PowUnity BikeTrax is a specialized GPS tracking solution built for e-bikes, combining hardware and software to deliver comprehensive theft protection and smart connectivity. The BikeTrax device integrates directly with e-bike systems — including Bosch motors across multiple generations — and communicates in real time via the PowUnity app, giving owners and fleet managers live location data at all times. Designed for individual e-bike owners, manufacturers, dealers, and fleet operators, BikeTrax offers a layered approach to security. When a theft occurs, the integrated Recovery Service helps locate and recover the stolen vehicle. For fleet operators, the platform enables centralized live tracking of multiple e-bikes simultaneously, streamlining operations and improving asset visibility. PowUnity also partners with e-bike manufacturers to embed BikeTrax directly into new models, enabling 'Connected Cycle' experiences out of the box. The product has earned industry recognition, including the Design & Innovation Award (Equipment & Accessories category, 2020) and the German Design Award 2021 for Excellent Product Design. The companion app connects BikeTrax to the rider's smartphone, delivering theft alerts, location history, and trip data. AI-powered phone support is available in German and English. BikeTrax is an ideal solution for cyclists seeking peace of mind, businesses managing e-bike fleets, and manufacturers wanting to differentiate their products with integrated smart security.
