HOROTAG GPS is a pure tracker: it doesn't count engine hours on its own. After each ride, 4 taps in the app and it's logged. The full service log is included: reminders, history, resale certificate: identical to the two other models, server-signed, tamper-proof.
For a 100% automatic hour meter (engine time counted over Bluetooth), that's HOROTAG RUUVI (129 €). For the most detailed GPS tracking and real-time anti-theft, see HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS (399 €).
// HOW IT WORKS
How a motorcycle GPS tracker with no subscription works
HOROTAG GPS carries a GPS chip and a low-power 4G modem. The device takes its position, sends it over the cellular network, and your bike shows up on the map in the app, without going through your phone, without Bluetooth, without being in range. That is the fundamental difference with a plain Bluetooth tag: the tracker talks to the network on its own, even from the other end of the country.
The 4G IoT SIM card is included for ten years in the €299. That is what makes a subscription unnecessary: the cost of the data is paid once, up front, instead of every month. Over ten years, a tracker at €5 a month costs €600 in subscriptions on top of its purchase price.
With the bike parked, the device wakes up every 12 hours to report where it is. As soon as it detects movement, it switches to a position every 30 minutes with a GPS fix every minute, enough to follow a van down the motorway. That adaptive rate is what gives 2 to 4.5 years of battery life depending on use, where a permanently wired tracker drains a motorcycle battery in a few days of parking.
The unit is IP68 waterproof and fits with no wiring, under the seat, under the fairing or in the tail unit. Nothing to route, nothing to splice into the loom: a thief who cuts the battery does not cut the tracker.
Where to fit it on the bike
The best spot is the one a thief will not think of and that lets the signal through: under the seat, in the storage tray, under the tail cover, behind a side panel. Avoid enclosed metal and fully shielded boxes. The supplied mounting kit holds on flat surfaces; extra fixings are on the accessories page. See accessories and mounts · Fitting guide
// FREQUENTLY ASKED
Motorcycle GPS tracker: frequently asked questions
A motorcycle GPS tracker with no subscription: really no fees?
Yes. The €299 covers the device, the app and the 4G SIM for ten years. No monthly charge, no paid option to unlock alerts or history. After ten years, only the SIM needs renewing.
Does it work on a motocross bike with no battery connected?
Yes, and it is a common use. The device has its own lithium battery and depends on no circuit of the bike. On a motocross bike it mainly protects during the moments most exposed to theft: the van, the garage and the paddock.
How accurate is the position?
A few metres in the open, like any GPS. Under a metal shed or in an underground car park, a fix can be missed: the device then reports the last known point with its timestamp, which is enough to know which way the bike went.
Can a thief detect or jam it?
The device transmits nothing continuously and does not announce itself. A GSM jammer can block reporting while it is running, but the tracker keeps recording and sends everything as soon as it finds network again. That is why it is fitted hidden, with no visible cable.
Does it count engine hours?
No. It is a tracker, it has no engine vibration sensor. Hours are entered by hand in the log, in four taps after a ride. Automatic counting only exists on HOROTAG RUUVI, which can live on the same bike. Discover HOROTAG RUUVI (€129)
How is it different from HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS?
The resolution of the tracking. HOROTAG GPS gives position and movement alerts, which is what anti-theft needs. HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS takes a fix every 30 seconds while riding and redraws every ride in detail, with real-time anti-theft. See HOROTAG ULTIMATE GPS (€399) · compare the three devices
Where should you hide a GPS tracker on a motorcycle?
Under the seat, inside the fairing, under the rear mudguard or in the false floor of a top box: anywhere it cannot be seen without removing something. Because the device is self-contained it does not need to sit near the battery, which leaves the hiding place up to you. Avoid direct contact with a large metal mass, which degrades reception.
My bike has been stolen, what do I actually do?
Open the app to see the last known position, and file a police report rather than going there yourself. The app produces a timestamped PDF report with the position history, for the police and your insurer. Recovering a stolen bike yourself is dangerous and it is not your job.
Is it legal to track your own motorcycle?
Yes. Tracking a vehicle you own is entirely legal. What is not legal is tracking someone else's vehicle without their knowledge. If the bike is ridden by another person, a relative or an employee, that person must be informed.
GPS beacon, GPS tracker, GPS immobiliser: what is the difference?
None, fundamentally. They are three names for the same object: a device that reads its position and sends it. The real difference between models on the market is elsewhere: how the device communicates, over a cellular network or only Bluetooth, and whether it needs a subscription.
Is an AirTag enough to protect a motorcycle?
An AirTag has neither GPS nor a SIM card. It broadcasts over Bluetooth and is only located when an iPhone passes nearby, which works on a busy street and far less in a closed garage or a van on the motorway. A GPS tracker carries its own GPS chip and 4G modem: it reports its position itself, without depending on someone else's phone.
Does it work on a scooter, a quad or an electric motorcycle?
Yes. The device is self-contained, wired to nothing and dependent on no circuit of the vehicle. Scooter, quad, side-by-side, electric motorcycle, trailer: anything that can be stolen and has room to hide a device the size of a deck of cards.
