How do you secure your electric bike? Support Ebike Escape when purchasing: Wsdcam Bike Alarm: amzn.to/3xEjcYt (One Pack) amzn.to/3qcCEsF (Two Pack) - Affiliate links
thank-you for the video, have just received my WSDCAM Bike Alarm, which am getting ready for when I receive my Amp'd Bros Fat electric bike the Ace - X Demon... Have already paid for it, getting the lights and alarm system ready for when it comes, literally can't wait to install this alarm on the bike itself.....have already tried it out with arming then slightly moving it, and oh boy is it LOUD, had to quickly turn it off, am grateful that I've brought this, in conjunction with the Abus U Lock and chain with another lock in total, am safe to say that my e-bike will be secure. Also by arming the alarm when I go into the caravan at night, it would alert me to anyone hanging around the bike at night....thank-you once again for the video, showing how to change the settings and volume. A great bike you have there as well.
Your video appeared on my...whatever-it's-called. I'm a lowly bicycle rider on a 30+ yr. old Mountain Road Bike*. Intrigued by the Alarm Topic, I ventured in & learned said Alarm is not restricted to electric bikes; Oh no: there are no Laws, Statutes, Ordinances against purchasing one of these Alarms for use on a Bicycle, or even a Motorcycle. So I daringly bought one. Note: Insomuch as this young Electric Bike Only man's video is now 3 yrs. old, please note that a newer Model of the same Alarm is now available. *Mountain Bike that I've adapted for Road Riding. (I'm also updating another 30+ yr. old Mountain Bike for Trail Riding) Took up cycling here recently...after 56/57 years; driving since I was 15 yrs. old...and I LOVE IT! Low impact, but high intensity. Belt tightened a notch (soon to be two). No "brain fog" as one must needs make many, "snap" decisions & execute immediately. Sleep like a baby. Eat like a horse (high fiber, high protein). Cycling also helps the "boy parts" (think, old man...numerous nocturnal #1 trips to the bathroom) greatly.
I purchased a similar alarm with a ulock alarm. So the security is greatly modified. But I still think it is important to have a visual on your bike to minimize theft. But if you absolutely don't want your bike stolen, don't bring it unless you right next to it at all times, or you making short trips to the store. Another thing to look out for is parts. Someone with a simple tool as a screwdriver, pliers or adjustable wrench can take whatever they want on your bike, like mirrors, handlebars, seat, ect. I have been researching various ways to secure these sections. They are triangle and star screws that most people are not aware of. But getting the right screw or bolt fitting is challenging, but it is definitely worth the effort.
If you’re extremely worried you could just weld the parts to the bike, or do what I did, I built a triangle box that fits in the frame and mounted most of the expensive stuff in there then have a lock on it. I’ve also air tagged both the bike and my battery separately so if someone stole either I’d immediately know where they went
Thanks a lot for your explanation and demo. I watched quite a few videos on this remote setup, but they brought even more confusion. Yours is the best one that provided clarity. Thanks again.
Can't agree with you on the throw it in a bag idea, the alarm works on shock sensing, so fitting it physically to the frame means better operation, also as you mentioned in bags ect does muffle the sound too 👍🏻
Agree, and also agree with the creator that several might be the answer fastened with aluminum zip ties, or better yet stainless steel hose clamps. What you are trying to do is keep the bike from being stolen.
You dont need to hide it. Kind of helps if you dont. Im getting one - i came up with the absolute brain wave of using Dual lock on my Batteries and mounting it on the battery pack - then i can swap it between packs as i swap batterys - genious huh
Got a later version that has a rechargeable battery. Can hide it under the rear basket, between it and the rear fender to prevent a perp with a hammer from smashing it... Will have access to the charging port on the battery pack.
I brought one before my bike arrived. They may try to take it but it's not my job to make it easy. Two bike locks and one alarm (I live in a busy city on the east coast) because most crimes happen as crimes of opportunity.
Exactly. A determined thief *WILL* steal your bike, no matter how secure you make it, short of hiring armed guards or something. Most thieves are looking for the easiest score, though, so making your bike harder to steal will pay dividends. Locking the frame with a u-lock, the wheels with a cable, and attaching an alarm will deter almost anyone. If your saddle has a quick release, attach a smaller cable for that, or consider just taking it off and throwing it in your bag. For e-bikes, lock the battery, or take it with you.
Get a U-lock that is at least 18mm thick like the Kryptonite fahgettaboudit mini, this lock cannot be removed with a bolt cutter, but the other most important thing is an alarm that can TEXT you when the bike is disturbed so that you can get to it before anything can happen, time is the most critical factor.
I was just thinking that the plastic zip tie is the weak point, apparently one can disassemble the alarm easily with a cutter. A stainless steel one is certainly much better.
in all these reviews it doesnt sound like it does anything like make a sound in the remote itself, like, if youre in a heavily walled store and you wouldnt be able to hear the alarm for yourself, and need just an extra bit of notification.
This setup might save the day if you nipped into the convenience store for couple minutes and you are within earshot otherwise it will be gone. Insurance works , locks mostly don't. The lock is there to by you some time only. An expensive e-bike should not be left unguarded. Once cordless grinders came on the scene, no one has a chance, so try to stay with the bike at all times. Btw that goes for any bike that catches the eye of pro thieves. Cheers.
You can register your bike on there now problem. Does not only need to be a US bike. However we are not sure if any bike shops or Australian police will use Bike index. But there is no harm in registering it on their website "just in case."
Unfortunately al these items are "theft deterrents." You are right, nothing will stop a determined thief though. Hiplok makes the cut resistant lock that is worth looking into if you are interested in something super heavy duty. -JT
I've used a motion alarm for over 2 years now... nice that you and Amazon can catch up. Good luck on the money hunt. Have you ever ridden a top-quality ebike?
@@runalong It doesn't matter for the most part... if they are visible they can be "circumvented" with the swing of a hammer. Pop! Done... without a chirp.

Can I get this bike alarm on eBay because Amazon denied me on some things that's why I don't do Amazon much and I was just wondering cuz this alarm bike work on the regular mountain bike my Schwinn Ike because right now I don't have an e-bike and if I did I'll be having all kinds of stuff on there for protection I got a couple of heavy-duty Kryptonite can keep her locked in a medium sized for a regular mountain bike but I wish it was just a tad bit longer for my mountain bike Kryptonite King cheaper I'm just curious about the alarm can it work on a regular mountain bike
I don't think a thief using an angle grinder to cut a ulock is going to give a shit about this. I have the same alarm, to train my asshole neighbor not to bump my motorcycle.
Yea they will care alarm loud and it go off forever as long as its armed its loud fr... i dont think any 1 wanna cause attention to themselves like that...
I bought it ! IT IS A TRASH. Almost unable to get to the battery to replace it. Super bad design. Nobody talks about the battery life or replacement ? Installing on a zip ties ? are you kidding me ? I can cut zip ties in 3 sec and throw this device away 100ft. Nobody would even know why it is making noise. The whole idea and concept is an absurd.

@@kimhyunwoo8983 Great idea.
@@kimhyunwoo8983 but don't most crimials just know to look for these kind of tags now, and just remove them?
How accurate are the airtags? Did you put one in the frame?
Thanks a lot for your explanation and demo. I watched quite a few videos on this remote setup, but they brought even more confusion. Yours is the best one that provided clarity. Thanks again.
Glad it helped
totally agree 100%
Bought this in April for my KBO Breeze. For less than 20 bucks, it's well worth it.
Nice! How are you liking the KBO Breeze?
Thanks I always wanted to know how to set the different settings 👍 I have this setup on my motorcycle and it works great with no messy wires 👍👍
Thanks for explaining and showing how to change the sensitivity. I just got this alarm and missed that in the tiny pamphlet instructions.
Can't agree with you on the throw it in a bag idea, the alarm works on shock sensing, so fitting it physically to the frame means better operation, also as you mentioned in bags ect does muffle the sound too 👍🏻
Fair enough!
Maybe there's a way to fashion something of metal to make it difficult to remove and also amplifies it.

Well, he did blink.🤥

Best video I've seen on this product thank you for the detailed explanation
Thanks for watching!
I just bought one and I’m so excited to have it! I’ve lost a lot of bike parts to theft in my neighborhood.
Bummer! Hope this helps!
I brought one before my bike arrived. They may try to take it but it's not my job to make it easy. Two bike locks and one alarm (I live in a busy city on the east coast) because most crimes happen as crimes of opportunity.
Sounds like you have a good setup. I am thankful we don't have to worry as much.
I’m in a safer area but I go with 2 u locks, alarm, and apple AirTag that is hidden. But I leave my bike outside of work for 8+ hours

Me to but i have 3 Abus key locks... safe the best @rentedduckliing
You did the best explanation review. You only forgot to say that the alarm stops sounding after 30 seconds if there is no more shaking on it
Just bought one,thanks dude very helpful!
Hope it helps keep things safe!
Great product thanks for the heads up, 👍,
Always remember everybody's a Critic
Ha, thanks!
Great video with easy to understand advice and directions 😊
Get the one with the tube clamp and not the zip tie mounting option
I have that alarm. And a chain lock.
I wish it had a true panic button, that set the alarm off from the remote. From what I can tell only vibration sets the alarm off.
Get a U-lock that is at least 18mm thick like the Kryptonite fahgettaboudit mini, this lock cannot be removed with a bolt cutter, but the other most important thing is an alarm that can TEXT you when the bike is disturbed so that you can get to it before anything can happen, time is the most critical factor.
This is the lock I just purchased other than the most expensive A lock.
@John Doe I carry pepper spray with me whenever i ride. If anyone even looks suspiciously at the bike while Im off of it will get the whole bottle.
@@JohnMichaelKaneOG ahh, its illegal in the UK sadly 😢
Thank you. Those paper instructions suck.
Use stainless steel zip tie.. takes forever to cut it off
Good tip!
I was just thinking that the plastic zip tie is the weak point, apparently one can disassemble the alarm easily with a cutter. A stainless steel one is certainly much better.
Does the alarm eventually turn itself off after some time or does it just continue until it runs out of batteries?
Goes for 30 seconds I believe
Its 30 seconds if u dont press the disarm it will go off again if touched its dope i had it 3months pro fr
Battery last 3 months on full charge
@@PrinceUnyqueTvmine is rechargeable, yours too?
Does anyone know how to pair a second remote with this bought the kit with 2 remotes but can’t seem to pair the second remote .. 🤔
GPS Tracker, Alarm, Lock, and a GPS Tracker Sticker
in all these reviews it doesnt sound like it does anything like make a sound in the remote itself, like, if youre in a heavily walled store and you wouldnt be able to hear the alarm for yourself, and need just an extra bit of notification.
Correct, for that maybe an Airtag. This is just an additional tool you can use.
the alarm will turn off automatically?
for example if you are not around?
I'm wondering the same thing, have you gotten an answer?
It will then if some1 touch it it comes bk on repeatedly its nice had it for awhile
How do you disasemble the remote? the silver part holds both black parts together, and i remove either one of them looks like it's going to break.
How about the battery?
Is device and remote control paired by code? If not, safety level is low.
Curious about the small right side bar end mirror(?) What is it?
Mine is not connected how do u connect the remote to the alarm
You done well /3pm NZ time
I have two identical alarms on two bikes. Can I program all my remotes to work with EITHER alarm?
I don't think so.
Under your seat......
Under the rear basket, above the fender.
You WDscam but it’s WSdcam haha , right at the 2:14-16 mark lol
Whatever it's called it works!
Does the warning reset when it haven't been touch?
Yes I believe so
Where can you hide it in a RadRunner? Does it fit under the battery?
Try seeing if it will fit under your seat. I have 2 ebikes with the a lil alarms there is

have a question, was sent an email reply with regards to Bike Index, can I use Bike Index here in Australia, or is it only for people in the USA?

How do you disable the sos function
I believe it's just the unlock button.
After it's been enabled. If the SOS sounds alarm, stand the bike up to silence it.
I forgot to ask what name is the alarm
I understand this guy completely. I belong to a group called DNA. It’s an acronym for the National Dyslexia Association.
I thought it was LSD alarm.
I thought it was SDS. And I'm left handed too!😬
@@Cyfi71 racist
Can this alarm be set of manually
I do believe there is a "manual" button on the remote.
@@EbikeEscape hi sir could you tell me how to do it? Please would help me alot
I almost wonder if this is pointless see as people with angle grinders are able to steal bikes in broad daylight with no one able to stop them.
Unfortunately al these items are "theft deterrents." You are right, nothing will stop a determined thief though.
Hiplok makes the cut resistant lock that is worth looking into if you are interested in something super heavy duty. -JT
Where do i get gps
I have not tested any of the GPS ones though you might want to consider using an Airtag. That's the route I'd go if I had an iPhone.
Why would you put it in a bag? So easy to throw the bag away and run 🤷🏻♀️
