is this a tracker found on surron light bee?

th3bes@reddit

Did you not even bother doing the bare minimum research or even attempt to google the part number? If you bought yours as an oem model it comes stock, you can see it in the manual here: https://imgur.com/a/AVYzalE. Its number 21 in the blown out diagram.

[-]

Clear-Resident2411@reddit (OP)

that’s weird because when i googled the part number it pulled up surron manual but not that’s it just said safety manual

[-]

Cheap_Background5615@reddit

because you stopped researching when it didn't spit out an immediate answer. Did you not think "hmmm, maybe there's more information INSIDE that manual."?

[-]

FarOption9045@reddit

Yall two replies are the reason people hate this site lol.

[-]

432MegaHertz@reddit

* It came with your bike lol

[-]

V3semir@reddit

"Your" is an overstatement here, lol.

[-]

redditorialy_retard@reddit

it's not a tracker. it's a BMS amp and without it the bike won't work. please ensure it's connected. and ideally be in a place with good gps

[-]

graydi66y@reddit

BMS Amps don't require cellular service. It's 100% a tracker. But only able to be used in China.

[-]

KettchupIsDead@reddit

That doesn't mean OP is not concerned about the possibility of a tracking device on the bike they may or may not own

[-]

1inch_SubWoofer@reddit

BMS .. amp?

Not a tracker, but should be in a place with good GPS?

[-]

FrigataBowdette@reddit

Yep cops are en route, you better run

[-]

Several_Ad_6576@reddit

I had to point out, did OP steal “their” e-bike and is worried they might be tracked?

[-]

Clear-Resident2411@reddit (OP)

no bought it used

[-]

darforce@reddit

For no money lol.

[-]

Several_Ad_6576@reddit

Ah my mistake.

You have to admit though if someone did steal a bike they could be looking for a tracking device on the bike.

[-]

Clear-Resident2411@reddit (OP)

yeah ik lol i was putting a new seat on and found it connected to the bottom

[-]

ogkilladon@reddit

this mfer def stole this bike

[-]

darforce@reddit

For sure

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

Idk why no one knows this but if you bought the Alibaba surron it comes with a GPS module that you can access from the Surron app…but only in China. You can just discard it if you’re not in China.

[-]

ColdestCatAlive@reddit

Is an Alibaba surron okay to buy? 🤔

[-]

Bitter_Dimension_241@reddit

I’ve been wondering about this after seeing the problems some brands are having with welds failing during use and the riders being severely injured or dead.

I mean they’re basically being subject to the same forces as motorcycles but without any of the safety oversight.

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

I haven’t seen any cases of Surron bikes’ welds failing for any reason other than a front end collision. I have seen some other regular e-bikes’ welds fail, usually the cheap moped style ones that can be had for under $1k on Amazon.

[-]

blankdeluxe@reddit

They are all Alibaba surrons. They might just touch another set of hands or two before you get them

[-]

WearySignature4531@reddit

People love paying a markup.

[-]

EvilToastedWeasel0@reddit

At least they aren't Mordor Surrons.... Trouble those be.

[-]

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

They’re the same hardware, only difference is buying one through an authorized dealer gives you a 12 month / 20,000 mile warranty on most of the parts.

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

Yeah I think so, I have two of them in my garage.

[-]

Significant-Pen-6049@reddit

lol I have the same question

[-]

bluetrepidation@reddit

I installed my own SIM card and the app works just fine in the USA. I believe the installed SIM is a demo and expires after some time.

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

Well shit…guess I should have held onto mine 😅

[-]

bluetrepidation@reddit

😂

[-]

oliviadaisy5432@reddit

it’s funny how often hardware gets shipped with software features that only half-exist depending on where you live.

[-]

MaxTrixLe@reddit

Yes someone is trying to steal your bike or rob your home. Scary

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

No, the Chinese ones people buy on Alibaba come with a GPS module you can access with an app but it’s geo locked to China only. OP can just discard it.

[-]

_your_face@reddit

If you mean the one in the picture it says in the device it has an IMEI number and says SIM. Both indications that it has cellular service

[-]

Get_Fuckin_Dabbed_On@reddit

well duh, thats how the GPS data gets to the App.

GPS is passive. it gets data from satellites. you need cell service to put that data online so you can access it to get data about the bike.

[-]

_your_face@reddit

This person is specifically saying it doesn’t have cellular, and you access the data with an app meaning bluetooth

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

No I’m not? Not once did I say anything about Bluetooth. Obviously a Bluetooth connected gps tracker would be useless more than 15 feet from the bike.

[-]

KowalskiTheGreat@reddit

What use would an antitheft gps tracker have that only works over Bluetooth, if it's in Bluetooth range you already found it... The point is that the sim card/cell service on that tracker only works on Chinese networks (without swapping the sim for a usa one anyway)

[-]

drinkandfly@reddit

Yes it does, there’s some call sequence you can do to get the coordinates if it’s stolen. I’ve heard that part still works in the US but you would need to find a service provider that supports the device.

[-]

FartNuggetSalad@reddit

Nah take out the SIM and start downloading EVERYTHING you can. Run up that bill

[-]

ses1989@reddit

Fill it with the nastiest porn you can.

[-]

AutoModerrator-69@reddit

Bruh you know that SIM cards have very very limited storage 💀I mean maybe 0.00001 frame of a scene

[-]

staydrippy@reddit

So the SIM card is for Internet connectivity, not for storage. Ideally could put that SIM card into something like a cellular gateway with network attached storage and start running up TERABYTES, but I have a feeling this is prepaid and will cut you off.

[-]

AutoModerrator-69@reddit

Yes I’m aware it’s not for storage. I was just responding to the users comment.

[-]

Dear_Painting4918@reddit

You're being funny 😂! 😂

[-]

staydrippy@reddit

Hopefully he reads my reply too then lol

[-]

Homelessdruglord@reddit

😂

[-]

GabrielNYC4@reddit

Host a rom site filled with Nintendo roms and then self report to Nintendo and then toss it in the trash.

[-]

gurahamu89@reddit

Yeah bring it to the police station and get the manufacturer arrested for adding anti theft tech to the bike allowing you to see where it is if stolen… 😆

It was literally hooked up to the motor. Ain’t no thief spending the time to disassemble the bike just to put a tracker on it.

That’s what the JST connector on it is, a connector common in ananda and other motors.

[-]

DenM0ther@reddit

Or tracking op

[-]

Legitimate-Lab9077@reddit

What’s it like to live a life while being this paranoid?

This comes on the bike when it ordered direct from China either OP ordered it on Alibaba or their dealer source to direct from China. It’s a feature of the bike where you can track your own bike on an app in China. It doesn’t work outside of China.

[-]

rvralph803@reddit

In a functional world police would pursue this. We don't live in that world, unfortunately.

[-]

rodrigoelp@reddit

Instead of taking it to the police immediately, take the sim out to prevent it reporting the location (like the police station).
As a petty revenge, abuse that SIM card.

[-]

OBLIVIATER@reddit

Or its their mom tracking them, this is a child.

[-]

paxtana@reddit

Shoulda bought a Talaria lol

[-]

BestAmoto@reddit

Reminds me of the talaria xxx models having gps and the ones imported by people using alibaba getting locked out from using it in the US...

[-]

paxtana@reddit

To clarify, shoulda bought a talaria from a legitimate distributor and not some shady alixxx third party

[-]

saik0pod@reddit

The fact it has an imei means it's a Cellular tracker

[-]

AviationMetalSmith1@reddit

WiFi module for programming motor controller You need a Chinese government license to download the app and license

[-]

OutsideYourWorld@reddit

Plot twist, he's just a thief trying to make sure he wont be found out.

[-]

pissyguy@reddit

That's probably the legit answer

[-]

longstaff55@reddit

Do not put it in your bin lol , either go to police or dispose of it in a bin far away from home

[-]

Livingonthevedge@reddit

Ship it to China?

[-]

Cranks_No_Start@reddit

Go to a truck stop and plant it on a trailer heading west.

[-]

PicaDiet@reddit

Now this has the makings of a buddy movie screenplay.

[-]

Dear_Painting4918@reddit

Three strangers meet online, together they dissect an ebike, electric scooter and a motorized bike, faster than Ebike, decide which one is the most evil, perform an exorcism and go out for drinks but remotely.

[-]

Gothiccheese95@reddit

life is a highway, i wanna ride it all night looong

[-]

Virtual_Society_1852@reddit

I was about to say I'm a long haul trucker. I'll gladly toss it in a random trash can in the middle of nowhere 400 miles away later that same day. Don't ask random truckers about that though. They may not react the same way.

[-]

longstaff55@reddit

He can ship it to me if he likes, I'll set up an operation to catch the would be thief

[-]

AltruisticBus8305@reddit

Absolutely. Set it up and ambush them.

[-]

Cock_InABox@reddit

Sounds like a wet dream in Texas

[-]

It's called "hunting over bait". ;-)

[-]

trtsmb@reddit

Amazing how many people don't read the manual.

[-]

Own-Quality2204@reddit

Yes you can put your own SIM card in it

[-]

ryuk9o4@reddit

Scanning random QR codes on random devices you find on your bike is such a bad security habit, you never know what sketchy stuff it could link to.

[-]

beachbum818@reddit

Or comes with the bike. Look at the manual. Part # 10_21

[-]

gjpk@reddit

Install it on your enemy’s bike, play it fwd

[-]

joggingo3@reddit

Put it in a glass bottle and put it in the sea

[-]

pd9@reddit

Not that you asked but, as a general security rule, don’t scan random QR codes

[-]

Sorry_Whereas_31@reddit

Throw it away, just not at home.

[-]

taylorink8@reddit

Never scan and QR code you don’t know what it is for. Easy way to let hackers get info from you

[-]

ManyLayersOfFilament@reddit

did nobody think that this possibly came with the bike, with such a specific connector? tons of ebikes come with tracking features as an option. is this something NEW you noticed or you just never looked there before?

[-]

John-AtWork@reddit

That thing is huge, and not very stealthy at all.

[-]

ieat_cats59@reddit

Put it on a Amazon delivery truck

[-]

Tokinruski@reddit

That will keep it kind of local. Much funnier to give it to a proper trucker
