How does a service that sends agents after stolen bikes take $778k in a year?

Product at a glance
- What it is
- A UK theft-recovery service for bikes and e-bikes: a mechanic fits a hidden GPS tracker, agents go and fetch the bike if it is stolen, and backup insurance pays out if they cannot.
- Who it is for
- Cyclists in the UK: commuters, families, racers and delivery riders.
- How it charges
- Annual protection from £153 (£12.75 a month equivalent), covering the tracker kit, fitting, 24/7 recovery and backup insurance; the exact price is quoted online from the bike’s value.
- Business model
- A hardware-plus-service annual subscription: the tracker is fitted once and the protection fee renews each year.
