Enhancing Bike Recovery Through the 4iiii App with Bike Index
Cochrane, Alberta - November 19, 2024
4iiii Innovations, a leader in power-driven cycling performance, is excited to announce the integration of the Bike Index registration feature into their iPhone app. This new feature allows 4iiii customers to register their bikes with Bike Index, the largest non-profit bike registry in the world, directly through the 4iiii app.
The integration of Apple Find My technology in 4iiii PRECISION 3+ Powermeters taps into Apple’s extensive network of over 1.5 billion users, offering cyclists real-time tracking for their power meters. This feature allows users to share detailed bike information with authorities, adding an extra layer of peace of mind.
The Bike Index integration enables users to register their bikes, creating a record that can assist in recovery if the bike is lost. This feature compliments the Apple Find My technology, offering robust tracking capabilities. The combination of these features provides cyclists with industry-leading bike protection tools.
“Adding Bike Index registration to our app is a significant step in our ongoing commitment to providing cyclists with the best bike recovery solutions.” said Mike Mercer, Director of Engineering & Innovation of 4iiii Innovations. “We understand the importance of bike protection to our customers, and this integration offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring peace of mind for our users.”
The Bike Index platform is a free, community-driven service that helps recover lost/stolen bikes by providing a detailed registry accessible to law enforcement and the public. By integrating this service into the 4iiii app, users can now register their bikes quickly and efficiently, enhancing the likelihood of recovery in the event of theft.
“We are delighted to partner with 4iiii to bring our bike registry services to their app,” said Seth Herr, Co-Founder of Bike Index. “This integration is a testament to 4iiii’s dedication to their customers and to the cycling community at large. Together, we’re making strides in the fight against bike theft and ensuring cyclists have the tools they need to protect their bikes.”
The new feature is accessible within the latest version of the 4iiii iPhone app, with an Android update expected soon. Users can register their bikes by navigating to the Bike Index section within the app and following the simple registration process.
