Subscriptions explained
In order for Bike Trac to work, you need to pay an ongoing subscription to cover the cost of data transfers
between your Bike Trac unit and the Bike Trac computer servers. The unit has a built in SIM card as well as
a GPS receiver in order for it to be tracked effectively, and when the unit ‘talks’ to the computer servers to
update its location on the Bike Trac system, a cost is incurred with the network provider. Your Bike Trac
unit can ‘speak’ to the Bike Trac computer servers hundreds and even thousands of times every month.
Purchasing options are as follows:
Annually up-front for:
•
1 Year - £99.99 inc vat
•
2 Year - £179.99 inc vat
•
3 Year - £229.99 inc vat
You can purchase subscriptions online via our website at www.roadangelgroup.com, or call us on 01327
855586. Please see ‘Fitting & Installation: a step-by-step guide’ for more information.
Please Note: It is very important you have an up-to-date subscription otherwise your Bike Trac unit will
not alert you if your bike is stolen, and you will not be able to access your Bike Trac portal. All historical
journey information will also be lost should you let your subscriptions lapse. You will receive reminder
notifications from Road Angel shortly before your subscription expires.
Advice on fitting the Bike Trac unit to your bike
Please Note: Bike Trac must be fitted by a professional automotive electrician with a Thatcham or
manufacturers accreditation. The following instructions are to guide qualified installers in fitting the Bike
Trac unit.
Please take your time in positioning and securing the unit, as this is vital to ensure its proper operation. It is
up to the installer of the Bike Trac unit to position the unit where they see fit, however in order for the unit
to obtain maximum GPS signal please do not position the unit under any metal objects (such as the fuel
tank). Even if the fuel tank is plastic, the fuel can still obstruct the GPS signal. We cannot suggest the most
appropriate location on the bike to fit the unit as the structure of different bikes vary greatly, and our
recommendations may also give your Bike Trac’s position away to potential thieves. It does not matter if
the positioning of the unit is not flat, at an angle or its side is ok, as long it can see the sky.
The Bike Trac unit should be secured with the top facing as much to the sky as is possible, and can be
fastened with cable ties or Velcro pads, if you do use the Velcro fasteners please make sure the contact
surface is clean and free from dust. Once again this is up to the individual owner. Please also ensure that
you have secured the wires / wiring loom correctly. You can use cable tie fasteners (as provided in the box),
The loom provided in the box is two meters long, thus giving you enough flexibility to fit the unit anywhere
on your bike. Please ensure however that you connect the wires to the appropriate feeds.

by-step guide’.
