Estonian light electric vehicle digital security company Comodule and German e-bike lock brand 2Lock have joined together to create an integrated physical and digital e-bike security solution. In essence, it’s a contactless wheel hub locking system, which integrates two mechanisms into one hub. Firstly, one prevents wheel rotation and the other prevents unauthorised wheel removal. It integrates via Comodule’s Internet of Things (IoT) technology via a CAN bus connection and it can be activated or deactivated through the Comodule Companion App. How does it work?
Seems like a good potential for failure. Also what happens when their IOT servers go down?
Also what happens when it runs out of power? Or the internet subscription runs out (I assume this requires a SIM card or eSIM wit ha subscription).
However, I do like the idea of locking the wheel rotation from within the wheel. Makes moving the bike without rolling it necessary, which means manually carrying it or plopping it into a vehicle.
