Cycling lock-on solar energy

Bicycle theft is one of the problems that prevent their regular use as a vehicle. Conventional locks are either unreliable or too heavy. Skylock American company invented a new type of locking devices, solar-powered. Built-in Bluetooth allows you to connect your castle to the phone, automatically open it when approaching a person with a phone and lock when it is removed.



 

Alternative option — you can control the lock using keyboard shortcuts. Accelerometer and Wi-Fi inside the lock and fix attempts to disturb the bike, and if the duration the device will send a message to the phone owner.





This same mechanism is used to improve cyclist safety on the road: the mapping of accelerometer data on the phone and on the locking device allows to fix the drop, after which the device automatically sends a message to the phone and the absence of a response from the cyclist sends data to the selected emergency response service.





The electronic lock makes it easier to hire bicycles as access settings can be changed as needed. The battery charge is enough to ensure full functionality of the equipment within 30 days without light. In the most extreme case the device can be recharged using micro-USB cable. Lock Skylock weighs 1.4 kg, its design is such that it is necessary to make two cuts to open it, and during this time the owner of the bike will get a message about the persistent attempt of theft.
