An innovative, smart cargo bike
This electric cargo bike with front carrier is equipped with a 4G / GPS connection that talks directly to the "cloud". This technology means you can connect it to your smartphone and convert it into a "super bike"
Why have a smart cargo bike?
A "smart" bike is an "augmented" bike that gives you a set of features and services that you just can't get from a non-smart, "classic" bike.
Know where your bike is at all times and be alerted to the slightest abnormal movement.
You can track the number of kilometres covered per day, week, month or year at any time. Check the level of CO2 avoided and assess the average speed and number of calories burnt during your journeys.
Combine the built-in GPS with insurance coverage to combat theft
With its built-in GPS tracker, you can locate your cargo bike at any time!
Combined with the GPS, when you take out our exclusive LAKA insurance policy via the Decathlon Geocover app (€24 max per month), you'll get complete coverage (accident, damage, theft, etc.) for your bike and its accessories 24/7, even when you're out on public roads.
If your bike isn't found within 48 hours, LAKA will immediately offer a new replacement bike equivalent to the bike you had.
How much does it cost to geo-locate your cargo bike?
This service is free for the first year. After that, you'll have to pay for it, but it's no obligation!
From the second year of using your bike, you can choose whether or not to take out a subscription (€2 / month) so that you can continue using the Decathlon Geocover app's features, including geo-tracking.
If you have any technical questions about connectivity, please contact: [email protected]
