A motorcycle in Greece has an average 5% chance of being stolen.

More specifically in numbers:

GREEK POLICE & ELSTAT DATA

THEFT RISK OVER THE LIFE OF A MOTORCYCLE

Over a typical ownership/lifetime period of around 14–15 years, this corresponds to an estimated cumulative theft risk of approximately 4–6%.

The actual risk can be considerably higher in densely populated urban areas, depending on location, motorcycle model, parking conditions and the security measures used.

What to watch out for:

GPS tracker hidden inside a motorcycle

Good hiding

The size of the GPS tracker is crucial for its anti-theft effectiveness!

TIP: The size of the GPS tracker is usually determined by the capacity of its built-in battery. This means that the larger the battery, the bulkier the GPS tracker.

There are techniques to conceal the device and its wiring so that it blends in with the other components of the vehicle.

Low power consumption GPS tracker icon

Low consumption

It is well-known that GPS trackers drain the vehicle's battery, especially in motorcycles.

However, not all GPS trackers are the same!! There are GPS trackers on the market that consume up to 120mA! But there are also devices whose consumption is as low as 1mA in Power Off Sleep Mode (like the Teltonika FMB965).
This means that power consumption is almost negligible.

Standalone battery-powered GPS tracker

Not a standalone device

  • It can't hide as well as a wired one.
  • Either it will be bulky, or it won't have much autonomy.
  • It doesn't have the same reliability and completeness of notifications as wired systems.
  • There is a chance it might not work when needed.

But if it is the only option, we suggest solutions such as Teltonika TAT140

Frequently asked questions about motorcycle GPS trackers

Which GPS tracker is best for a motorcycle?

It depends on what matters most to you. The Teltonika FMB920 is very small and ideal for hiding. The FMB965 is highly waterproof and keeps working longer if it loses power. The FMC920 and FMC234 support 4G and work worldwide, and the FMC234 has the best autonomy.

Does a GPS tracker drain my motorcycle battery?

A good tracker draws very little while the motorcycle is parked: about 2 mA for the Teltonika FMB920 and about 1 mA for the FMB965 in sleep mode. Some trackers on the market draw up to 120 mA, so the model matters.

Will the tracker work when I travel abroad?

The 4G models (FMC920, FMC234) work worldwide. The 2G models (FMB920, FMB965) do not work in countries without full 2G coverage, such as Switzerland and a few countries outside Europe.

Can the tracker immobilize my motorcycle?

Yes, with the FMB920, FMC920 or FMC234, which can immobilize the vehicle. Ask us which installation suits your motorcycle.

Do I need a monthly subscription?

Yes. To see your motorcycle live on the map, the tracker needs a SIM card with mobile data and a server that keeps the history and sends you alerts. Our monthly service includes the Entopizo SIM, hosting on our platform, the app and support. Read more in our guide GPS tracker without subscription.
