Owning a 50 or 125 cc scooter means choosing freedom and mobility on a daily basis. But it also means exposing yourself to a well-known risk for city dwellers: theft. Every year, tens of thousands of scooters disappear in France, and the vast majority are never recovered. Faced with this threat, a GPS scooter tracker is an essential solution.
More than just a gadget, the GPS tracker is a real security tool! It allows you to locate your two-wheeler live, receive alerts in case of suspicious movement, and significantly increase the chances of recovering your vehicle in case of theft.
One in 5 French people has already had their scooter stolen #
In the city, the scooter is the king of two-wheelers: practical, economical, and maneuverable, it appeals to both students and professionals. But this popularity has a worrying downside: according to our 2024 theft risk barometer , 22% of French people have already been victims of theft. Thieves particularly target 50 cc and 125 cc models, which are easy to resell as spare parts.
Faced with this observation, mechanical locks are no longer enough. More and more drivers are choosing to enhance their security with a GPS scooter tracker, a technology that changes the game.
Why a GPS scooter tracker is essential #
The reality of urban theft #
Scooters are mostly stolen at night, in front of the home or in a parking lot. And without a tracking device, the probability of finding it remains low. The Mutuelle des Motards and our 2024 barometer remind us that only 25% of two-wheelers are recovered after a theft, often in poor condition. With a GPS tracker, this figure rises to 75% recovered within 48 hours.
The advantages of a GPS tracker #
Installing a GPS tracker on your scooter offers several major advantages:
- Live tracking to never lose sight of your two-wheeler.
- Immediate anti-theft alerts in case of suspicious movement or exit from a predefined area (geofencing).
- Assistance to law enforcement, who can intervene quickly thanks to the precise data from the Theft File at Invoxia.
- Deterrence: a thief informed that a scooter is equipped with a tracker will think twice.
- Potential reduction in insurance premium with some insurers.
How to choose the right GPS scooter tracker #
Not all trackers are created equal. Here are the essential criteria for properly equipping your two-wheeler:
- Autonomy: a tracker should last several weeks, even months, without recharging.
- Type of network: opt for a device using LTE-M or low-bandwidth networks, which are more stable and economical.
- Discretion: the case should be compact and easy to hide under the seat or in a top case.
- Advanced features: movement alerts, trip history, geofencing, recovery assistance.
- Subscription: some trackers require a subscription, necessary to access the network.
