India is the world's second-largest two-wheeler market — and also one of the highest for bike theft. Over 2 lakh two-wheelers are stolen every year in India, and without a GPS tracker, the chances of getting your bike back are under 20%.
But here's the good news: bike owners who install a GPS tracker are recovering their vehicles within 3–6 hours of theft — with exact live location shared directly with police. This guide explains exactly how it works, and what you should buy today.

How Does a GPS Tracker Help Recover a Stolen Bike?
When a thief steals your bike, the GPS tracker — hidden somewhere on the bike — continues to send the bike's live location to your phone every 10 seconds via the Protrack app. Here's the recovery timeline:
⏰ Minute 1 – Ignition Alert
The moment a thief starts your bike, you get an instant ignition-on alert on your phone.
⏰ Minutes 2–10 – Live Tracking
Open the Protrack app. See your bike's exact location on the map, updated every 10 seconds. Call the police with the live location immediately.
⏰ Minutes 15–30 – Remote Engine Cut-Off
Once police are nearby, use the app to remotely cut the engine. The bike stops. Police recover it.
⏰ Hours 1–3 – Bike Recovered
With police assistance and continuous GPS tracking, most stolen bikes are recovered within hours — not months.

"My Activa was stolen from outside my shop in Danapur at 11 PM. I checked the Protrack app — the bike was moving towards Patna city. I called the police with the live Google Maps link. By 1 AM, my bike was back. No damage, nothing missing. Without that GPS tracker, I would have lost my bike forever." — Ramesh Kumar, Danapur Shopkeeper

Where to Hide a GPS Tracker on Your Bike
For maximum security, the tracker should be hidden so a thief can't find and remove it. Best locations:
- 🔒 Under the seat — behind the seat cowl (most common)
- 🔒 Inside the headlight housing
- 🔒 Inside the tail light assembly
- 🔒 Behind the instrument cluster
- 🔒 Within the body fairings (for fully-faired bikes)
Our technicians in Patna and Danapur can perform a professional hidden installation. Or we can guide you via WhatsApp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install the GPS tracker myself on my bike?
Yes. The tracker connects to the bike's 12V wiring. We provide installation guidance via WhatsApp. For professional hidden installation in Patna/Danapur, contact us directly.
Will the tracker work if the thief removes the bike battery?
The VT05R has a backup battery and sends a tamper alert immediately if main power is cut. Since the tracker is hidden, most thieves don't find it.
Does the GPS tracker drain my bike's battery?
No. The GPS tracker consumes minimal power — similar to an LED indicator light. It will not drain your bike's battery during normal use or even extended parking.
How do I share the bike's location with police?
The Protrack app allows you to share a live Google Maps link via WhatsApp directly with police. They can follow the location in real time on their own phones.
