India's monsoon season — June to September — is brutal on electronics. Bikes are exposed to pouring rain, road splashes, humidity, and puddles. Most cheap GPS trackers from Amazon or local shops fail within the first monsoon season because they are not genuinely waterproof.
In this guide, we'll explain the difference between IP ratings, tell you exactly which GPS tracker for bikes is monsoon-proof, and help you make the right buying decision before the rains arrive.
Why Waterproofing Matters More Than You Think
A GPS tracker that fails in the rain is worse than having no tracker — because you think you're protected but you're not. When your bike is stolen in July and you open the app, you see a "device offline" message. Always buy an IP65 or higher rated GPS tracker for your bike.
Understanding IP Ratings for Bike GPS Trackers
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings tell you how well a device is protected against solids (dust) and liquids (water). Here's what the ratings mean for GPS trackers:
| IP Rating | Protection Level | Suitable for Bike? |
|---|---|---|
| No Rating | No protection from water or dust | ❌ Never use |
| IP54 | Limited dust protection, water splashes only | ⚠️ Minimal |
| IP65 ✅ | Fully dust-tight, protected against sustained water jets from any angle | ✅ Recommended |
| IP67 | Fully dust-tight, submersible up to 1 metre for 30 minutes | ✅ Excellent |
| IP68 | Submersible beyond 1 metre | ✅ Overkill but fine |
For a bike in India, IP65 is the minimum you should accept. The Alike GPS tracker is IP65 rated — making it suitable for all monsoon conditions, road splashes, high humidity, and dust from unpaved roads.
Common Waterproofing Mistakes When Buying a Bike GPS Tracker
Many sellers make misleading claims about waterproofing. Here's what to watch out for:
- 🚫 "Water resistant" is NOT waterproof: Many cheap trackers say "water resistant" but have no IP rating. Water resistant means it might survive a light drizzle — not Indian monsoon rain.
- 🚫 Self-claimed ratings without certification: Some sellers claim IP65 on their product listing without third-party testing. Always buy from brands with verifiable product quality.
- 🚫 Only the device is rated, not the connectors: Even if the tracker body is IP65, exposed wiring connectors can let water in. Look for trackers with sealed connectors or use waterproof tape on connections.
- 🚫 Installing in an exposed location: Even with a waterproof tracker, avoid mounting it directly in water flow paths. Installing under the seat or in a semi-protected area adds extra protection.
Wired vs. Wireless (Battery-Powered) Waterproof GPS Tracker for Bikes
There are two types of waterproof GPS trackers for bikes — wired and wireless. Here's how they compare:
Wired Waterproof GPS Tracker (Recommended for Bikes)
Connects to the bike's battery. No recharging required ever. Powers itself as long as the bike has a battery. Supports remote engine cut-off. Updates location every 10–30 seconds. Best for daily use, commuter bikes, and theft protection. The Alike GPS VT05 and R12 are wired, IP65 waterproof trackers designed for this exact use.
Wireless (Battery-Powered) Waterproof GPS Tracker
No wiring needed — easy to attach anywhere (under seat, in saddlebags). However, the internal battery lasts only 7–30 days depending on tracking frequency. You need to remember to recharge it, and if the battery dies, you have no tracking. No remote engine cut-off possible. Better suited for asset tracking, cycles, or occasional use.
Our Recommendation
For bikes and scooters used daily in India, choose a wired IP65 waterproof GPS tracker. It never runs out of battery, gives faster location updates, and supports remote engine cut-off — the most powerful anti-theft feature available.

Best Waterproof GPS Tracker Placement by Bike Type
Different bikes have different hiding spots. Here are the best installation spots for maximum concealment and weather protection:
- Honda Activa / Scooters: Under the seat, near the battery compartment. Excellent protection from rain as the seat acts as a cover.
- Royal Enfield Bullet / Thunderbird: Under the tank, inside the frame, or inside the tool box. The chassis provides good weather protection.
- Bajaj Pulsar / NS200: Under the tail cowl or inside the headlight nacelle. Both locations provide rain shadow protection.
- Hero Splendor / HF Deluxe: Behind the speedometer cluster or under the seat near the fuel tank. Common and effective hiding spots.
- TVS Apache / RTR: In the under-seat compartment or behind the side fairings. Good access and weather protection.
- Yamaha FZ / R15: Inside the front faring or behind the instrument console. Excellent weather protection with additional fairing cover.
Monsoon Season GPS Tracker Tips for Bike Owners
Even with a waterproof GPS tracker, follow these tips during monsoon season to maximize reliability:
- Check connections after installation: Apply waterproof connector tape or heat shrink tubing on all wire connections — even if the main device is IP65, exposed wire joints can let water in.
- Test alerts before monsoon begins: Open the app, trigger a geo-fence test, and ensure alerts are working. Do this in June before the rains start.
- Keep app notifications active: Don't disable app notifications. During monsoon, bike theft attempts increase. Instant alerts are your first line of defense.
- Verify network connectivity: In flood-prone areas, network may weaken. Our Airtel SIM has fallback to multiple towers — but always double-check signal in your area during heavy rain.
- Don't install near the exhaust: Extreme heat from the exhaust pipe can damage the tracker over time. Keep the tracker at least 10–15 cm away from hot exhaust components.
Frequently Asked Questions — Waterproof GPS Tracker for Bike
What is the price of a waterproof GPS tracker for bike in India?
The Alike GPS waterproof GPS tracker for bikes is priced at ₹3,999 — inclusive of the IP65 waterproof tracker device, free Airtel SIM with 1-year recharge, free tracking software, and 1-year warranty.
Will the GPS tracker work underwater?
IP65 means protected against water jets — not submersion. If your bike falls into a flooded road, the tracker may not survive full submersion. For submersion protection, you'd need IP67 or IP68. However, for typical monsoon conditions — rain, puddles, and splashes — IP65 is fully sufficient.
Does the tracker die in summer heat?
The Alike GPS tracker is rated for operating temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. Indian summers (even in Bihar/UP) typically peak around 45–48°C. The tracker handles this comfortably with a safety margin to spare.
How long does the tracker last?
Our wired GPS trackers typically last 3–7 years with proper installation. The 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Post-warranty, we offer extended service support and replacement at subsidized rates for existing customers.
