Bikespot™ — Smart Find My Bike Tail Light
Your bike gets stolen. The case gets closed.
If you ride in a city, you already know the odds. What you may not know is why every fix you've tried has failed.
Reported. Logged. Closed.
Most bike theft reports end the same way: logged, then closed with no suspect identified. Plenty of riders don't even bother reporting any more. If your bike goes, nobody official is going looking for it.
Your AirTag? Found in a bush.
Thieves know the beep, the iPhone anti-tracking alert, and every classic hiding spot — under the saddle, in the steerer tube. A bare tracker gets ripped off in the first quiet street and tossed.
Another $15 light in the trash
Budget lights die in months — snapped brackets, dead cells, rain inside the casing. And even the good ones do precisely nothing for the bike locked outside while you're at your desk.
“Reported it with the frame number, CCTV of the whole thing, the lot. Got a text two days later: case closed, no suspect identified. That was that.”
— recurring story on cycling forums and subreddits
Locks slow a thief down. Only a tracker he can't find brings a bike back.
We found the AirTag. In a bush, 200 yards away.
One of our team did everything right. Good lock, AirTag zip-tied under the saddle, e-bike parked in daylight outside a downtown train station. It was gone by six. He opened Find My and followed the dot — straight to a hedge two streets away, where the AirTag lay in the grass, zip-tie snipped.
The thief had taken forty seconds to check the two places every thief checks. What he kept was everything that made the bike worth selling — including the $50 tail light on the seatpost.
That was the whole insight. Thieves have learned what trackers look like — so the tracker has to stop looking like one. It has to live inside something a thief actively wants to keep working, because it adds to the resale price.
The best hiding place isn't under the bike. It's in plain sight, doing a job.
One ordinary-looking tail light. Three jobs.
The trick isn't better tracking hardware. It's camouflage — hiding the tracker inside the one part a thief wants to keep working.

Six lighting modes, from steady to eco flash
IP65 sealed — all-weather approved
🛑Be noticed braking
Auto brake flare — a motion sensor detects you slowing and fires every LED at full brightness

The moment drivers most often miss a cyclist
📍Be findable
Apple Find My chip inside — your bike appears in the Find My app you already have
Located by the network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices across the U.S.
No SIM, no account, no subscription — ever
💡 First and foremost: the best light you've clipped on
A tracker you resent charging gets left in a drawer. So Bikespot had to earn its place on the seatpost as a light — before the tracking even enters into it.
💡 24 LEDs, up to 1,000 ft — visible from further than a car's stopping distance at urban speeds, with six modes from steady to eco flash
🛑 Automatic brake flare — the motion sensor feels you slow and fires every LED at full brightness, exactly when the driver behind needs it
🌧️ IP65, aluminum and ABS shell — sealed against a full winter of rain, spray and grit
🔋 USB-C, ~16 h of light — and about 30 days of quiet tracking standby between charges, at just 1.1 oz
If it never earned back a stolen bike, it would still be the best $39 light on your bike.
What protecting one bike actually costs
Everyone selling bike security wants either $150+ up front or a monthly fee forever. Here's the honest arithmetic.

Fitted before your coffee's cold
No app to download, no account to create, no hub to plug in. If you've ever added AirPods to your iPhone, you already know how to do this.
Fit the mount
Seatpost strap or saddle-rail bracket — both are in the box. About two minutes, one small tool, also in the box.
Add to Find My
Hold the button; your iPhone offers “Add Device” in the Find My app. Name it “Bike” and you're done.
Just ride
Pick a mode with one click. The brake flare is automatic — it reacts to you slowing, nothing to trigger.
Forget it
USB-C top-up roughly monthly: ~16 h of riding light, ~30 days of standby tracking. That's the whole routine.
Out of the box to fitted, paired and tracked: about five minutes.
For the moment you walk back to the rack
Every cyclist who parks in town knows the feeling: rounding the corner towards the rack, eyes finding the spot where you left it, that half-second before you know. Most days it's fine. But the half-second costs you something, every single day.
Bikespot doesn't promise your bike will never be taken — nothing can. It changes what that moment means. Instead of a crime number and a shrug, you have a live map, a direction, and something concrete to hand the police. The stories of bikes recovered this way all begin the same: the owner knew where it was.
And the evenings are drawing in — theft season and dark-commute season arrive together in October.
Stop thinking about your bike when you're not on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with Android?
No. Bikespot uses Apple's Find My network, which requires an iPhone or iPad to set up and view your bike's location. There is no Android app and no workaround — if your household is Android-only, we'd honestly rather you didn't buy it than be disappointed.
How does the tracking actually work — is it live GPS?
It's Apple's Find My network, the same system as an AirTag. Your light pings securely off any Apple device that passes nearby, and that device relays the position to your Find My app — encrypted, anonymous to the passer-by. In U.S. towns and cities updates are near-constant; in remote countryside they're slower, because fewer iPhones pass. It is not a live satellite GPS feed, and anyone who tells you their subscription-free tracker is one is stretching the truth.
Is there really no subscription or app to install?
Really. Find My is already on your iPhone — Bikespot appears there like a pair of AirPods. No SIM, no account with us, no monthly fee, ever. You buy the light once and you own everything it does.
Won't a thief just spot it and remove it, like an AirTag?
That's the entire design. A bare AirTag looks like a tracker, so thieves hunt for it — under the saddle, in the steerer — and bin it. Bikespot looks like a $10 tail light. A thief's incentive is to keep the bike complete and saleable, and a working rear light adds value rather than raising suspicion. No hiding place is guaranteed, but this one has the thief's own greed working for you.
What about the anti-stalking alert on the thief's iPhone?
Apple's safety alerts can notify someone traveling with an unknown Find My device — that's true of every Find My tracker and it's a good thing; it protects people from being tracked without consent. In practice the alert takes time to trigger, doesn't say where the device is, and points to something that looks like… a bike light. Most recovery stories come down to the first few hours, where the map matters most.
How does the brake light know I'm braking?
A built-in motion sensor detects deceleration — brake, back-pedal, or just slowing into an intersection — and fires all 24 LEDs at full brightness for a couple of seconds. Nothing is wired to your brakes and there's nothing to pair or calibrate. It helps drivers notice you sooner; like any light, it can't guarantee you'll be seen, so ride as if you're invisible anyway.
How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?
The 400 mAh cell gives roughly 16 hours of riding light (much more on eco flash) and around 30 days of standby tracking. Charging is USB-C — the same cable as most modern phones and laptops — from empty to full in about two hours. For most commuters that works out at a top-up roughly once a month. Find My also warns you when the battery runs low.
Will it fit my bike — and will it survive the rain?
Two mounts come in the box: a strap mount for seatposts (round or aero, any common diameter) and a bracket for saddle rails, which tucks the light under the saddle. It's 1.65 in across and 1.1 oz — smaller than a matchbox. The shell is IP65-rated aluminum and ABS: rain, spray and mud are fine; submersion and jet-washing are not.
What should I do if my bike is actually stolen?
Open Find My, note the location, and call your local police non-emergency line (or 911 if you're witnessing the theft). Give the police the live location, your frame serial number and the case number — a precise address is what turns a dead-end report into a recovery. Please don't knock on the door yourself; the bike isn't worth a confrontation, and recoveries go best when officers do the knocking.
What if it doesn't work out?
30 days to return it for a full refund, for any reason. After that you're covered by a 12-month warranty. support@jarretthome.com reaches a person, and there's a contact form right beside these questions.
