BitLock Lets You Unlock Your Bike With a Smartphone

After a long day at work, the last thing you want to do is fumble to unlock your bike before commuting home. The BitLock makes unlocking much easier and faster by turning your smartphone into a virtual bike key.

First, the smartphone must be enabled with bluetooth and set up on the BitLock app. This will allow the BitLock to verify your identity when approaching your bike. Once you hit the button on the BitLock bike lock, your bike will automatically unlock.

The BitLock is compatible with the new iPhones and older iOS 6 models, as well as Android devices. The app allows users to look up their bike locations through GPS, share their bike location with other users, and even unlock their bike for another BitLock user. The app also tracks different bike statistics, including how many miles ridden, calories burned, and CO2 emissions saved each day, week or month. The BitLock is waterproof and has a five-year battery life. Read more...
