Locked Bike Gone in One Quick Stop — Recovered in a Day
BikeFinder led Luna right back to her
stolen e-bike — just 600m away
What was meant to be a quick stop at the store turned into a shock for Luna in Oslo — her locked bike was gone in just 30 minutes. Her daily ride, a 55,000kr Kettler e-bike, had vanished without a trace. But thanks to her BikeFinder tracker, this story didn’t end in loss — it ended in recovery.
Here is Luna’s story:
“I’ve been riding my Kettler Quadriga Town & Country Comp 750 (2023) daily since purchasing it in November 2024. The bike, valued at 55,000kr, has a suspension saddle I added for extra comfort.
I learned about BikeFinder through the store where I bought my bike and chose it for security and insurance.
One day, after a long ride, I stopped at a shopping center, only to return 30 minutes later and find my bike stolen. It was a very confusing moment.
I admittedly went onto my BikeFinder app to see it had pinged a new location. I searched but couldn’t find it that night. The next day I went to the same location but expanded my search. I discovered it hidden away with my lock, which had been broken at one of the joints but was still positioned on the bike to make it seem like it was locked up. I was so relieved to have found it in time.
Thanks to BikeFinder, I recovered my bike just 600m from where it was stolen!”

A note from the BikeFinder team
It’s a common tactic among bike thieves to stash stolen bikes nearby for a day or two — just long enough to check for trackers or see if anyone comes looking. It’s how they avoid being caught or leading police to their main hideout, often a larger operation.
That’s why speed matters. With multi-signal location updates from BikeFinder you can act fast — often before the bike is moved far. Luna’s story is a powerful reminder that with the right protection, quick action can make all the difference.
