GPS Tracker for Motorcycles – Buyer’s Guide
What are the chances of a motorcycle being stolen?
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:
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
- 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
