Are you looking for a GPS tracker for your motorcycle?

A motorcycle in Greece has a 5-6% chance of being stolen.

More specifically in numbers:

GREEK POLICE AUTHORITIES STATISTICS

  • In 2019, 7,124 motorcycle thefts were recorded in Greece.
  • In Greece, there are approximately 1.78 million motorcycles in circulation.
  • So the average annual risk is approximately: 7,124 / 1,782,000 ≈ 0.4% per year.

PROBABILITY OF THEFT DURING THE LIFETIME OF THE MACHINE

  • If we consider a "reasonable" lifespan of 14–15 years, the overall risk of it being stolen at some point is approximately 5–6%.
  • In Athens/Thessaloniki, the chances increase to 7-8%.
  • In a small town/village, the odds are estimated at 3-4%.

What to watch out for:

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 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.

Not a standalone device

Under no circumstances is a standalone device recommended!
  • 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
