Ok.. Im currently doing GCSE electronics and want to do a bike alarm for it. i was just wondering if you guys could help me in answering a few questions.
Roughly how much would you like to pay for a bike alarm.
Also i was wondering would you like it to be integrated into something that looks natural on a bike or stands out to make a robber think twice before touching it.
Another thing would be if you wanted it to be de-activated by a key or by a code mechanism.
Cheers for reading this guys and i hope to get some good answers

It would have to be relativly small and light to make sure I actually take it with me rather than not taking it because I dont want to carry a large bulck or weight.
I would want it higly visable as a deterant.
Key please. Have a look at the oxford comany and their range of locks and keys. I am a fan of their having one of their gold standerd locks for my motorbike.
Cost, depends on quality, how much I trust the product/company, and the cost of rival products and the price of my bike!
Hope that is of some help, and just ask if you have any more querys.
i would pay about 30 for an alarm
reasonably easy to do, have it quite small and light and highly visable.
pricing around £50?

eiither; integrated with the lock, perhaps tripping as soon as the plastic sheath on on the lock is penetrated (so before the lock is completely compromised)
or; cylindrical so it fits inside the frame.
either way, I would not make the alarm itself stand out I would hide it. If I want a warning I'd put a separate sticker on the frame. I'd pay about 30 GBP for the alarm itself, more if it was integrated in the lock.
you thinking of an alarm or a tracking system? the latter would have been so expensive as to be effectively impossible just a few years ago but today.... maybe possible
ideally it should electrify the frame with a brazillion volts as well . OK maybe not
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day
i can get it through work?
it would be almost worth them trying to steal it to see them get fried!

what is it, what's it do?
I suppose dyed, marked, ...... radioactive? can it be programmed to self assemble into a terminator? :twisted:
now that *would* be smart!

it also leaves a trace on other items you touch. it shows up under UV light.
ATM's and other high security rooms use it.

basically it bolts into a bottle boss and is movement activated, very loud and tamper resistant.

Something light. but strong (needs to be inbuilt to the lock)
look at some from of circuit that when cut will trigger the alarm, could be linked to a remote that send an SOS signal allowing police of said similar organisation to track bike (a tracker hiden in frame but matched to lock in some way?
just a few thoughts....
Cost...
not much morethan £50....
and would need some form on tracker, as with motorbikes. they can be stoled and split for parts easily... so its necessary to find them asap after them being stolen.
