While it’s clear that motorcycles often burn less fuel than cars, the Bikers Guardian secure parking station has other features that are “green.” For example, each unit has a hydrogen fuel cell. Then the Bikers Guardian call center will call you to notify you that someone is attempting to “retrieve” your motorcycle without proper authorization. If someone attempts to steal your bike, a camera in the unit will record the thieves. Each unit has a camera and an alarm system. The station also includes a bit of additional security. Some of which provide things other than secure parking.Ī temperature controlled storage locker will hold up to two sets of riding gear. It offers other capabilities and security options. Once in place, the motorcycle is secured to the station, and there is no access to the bike’s front wheel.īut there is more to the Bikers Guardian protective station. Bike owners would simply roll their bikes into the locking hub to lock the machine. The station itself looks like a five-foot-high small telephone booth. With the front wheel locked into place, two metal shrouds extend beside it, covering the axle bolts and nuts, making removal of the front wheel difficult, if not impossible. Bikers Guardian’s solution is to provide a station that is mounted to the ground and provides a special patented locking mechanism for your front wheel.
The problem is that your locking mechanism is out in the open and can easily be cut off with an electric angle grinder in seconds.
While there are other methods of locking your bike to a stationary object like a telephone pole or parking meter, your bike is still out in the open, where it can be quickly loaded into a van and carried off. So Bikers Guardian is developing a device that acts as a secure parking station and more. That’s a lot of motorcycles and a significant amount of cash. That amounts to more than £3,000,000 ($4.13M) in lost machinery per month. According to Bikers Guardian, the UK sees 40,000 motorcycles stolen annually. Hopefully, all sides move forward with continued success, and hopefully, you’ll be there to witness it in the Reb Bull Energy Station in 2021.A UK company wants to develop a potential solution to secure your motorcycle while parked in urban locations. Though Pol Espargaró will be in a different paddock next year, that's a great reason to commemorate his instrumental time at Red Bull KTM.

If you’ve always wanted a MotoGP in your collection, this might be the perfect opportunity-but it won’t be cheap.
