Follo - GPS tracker for ebikes

Cycling is a convenient and healthy way to get from A to B. We would all be better off if more people cycle, more often. But more people cycle that most people would assume. About 30% of people in New Zealand ride bikes. The Ministry of Transport Household Travel Survey In 2019-2022 period, showed that 37% of Kiwi's cycled, with 33% female, 41% male breakdown. A massive 73 million cycling trips are made per year in Aotearoa, including the 48,000 people who ride to work (about 2.2% of commuters) according to the 2018 Census. Commuting by bike is increasing in many cities including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. So what are you waiting for, give cycling a go, benefitting the mind, body and planet and a healthy way to get around your city or town.

Follo loves bikes and cycling and we are keen to hear your favourite places to ride, whether that be a regular route or special trip, let us know in the comments.

A Follo tracker provides more than a tracker for recovering your bike, it has other uses as well. You can track your trip history, and using playback you can replay your bike's past routes on a map (with timestamps, speed and stops) rather than just seeing current location. Our Follo app is useful for individual riders to get a record of their rides, after a theft, for example to share the routes with Police, for insurance claims, or just reviewing a route. Our tracker has also proved useful for fleet/rental businesses to audit vehicle usage, verify routes for delivery/rental compliance, and spot patterns like unauthorized use. More than just a tracker, Follo moves with your needs.

Bike theft has been happening since bikes arrived in Aotearoa.
They’re harder to find than ever after being stolen. Don't get stuck in the past, we have the technology to adapt! Protect your investment and track your e-bike or scooter with Follo.

Did you know: Follo Trackers can also be installed on your e-scooter. These are notoriously hard to keep from theft, so a Follo tracker gives you a head start to recover your stolen e-scooter. Don't let someone walk away with your transport. Track it with Follo.

We asked riders to give us one word to describe their bike.
The word that came back the most was FREEDOM. People who ride bikes say that the feeling of freedom is the one they associate most with riding. The bike gives us the ability to go where we want, when we want. There are no fees to pay, no schedules to meet and the feeling of freedom that comes with the ability to decide. Don't loose your freedom by having your bike stolen, a tracker will let you know where your freedom is at all times.

Follo are strong supporters of locking up e-bikes securely. That's why we support and champion Locky Docks, a free locking system accessible for the public, and all riders. If you've not used one before this is a great how to video. If Locky Docks are not in your town, get in touch with your local council to advocate for secure bike parking.
