The IB2 Theft Prevention System consists of many layers of protection:

Basic protection:

• Multiple Sold Secure Gold U-locks
• Bicycle Registration
• "DNA"-marking
• GPS tracking
• Alarm of at least 100db
• Immediate alert with police forwarding
• Apply your IB2 stickers in all parts
• Paint over the brand if it's a recognizable one
• Take plenty of photos before and after modifications
• Take clearly readable photos of all serial numbers
• Keep your invoice/receipt safely stored, make a digital copy

Preventative measures

• Lock your bike correctly, preferably with the frame and both wheels tightly secured to a fixed object.
• Keep the market value low. We don't recommend leaving bicycles that can be sold for more than 200 euros locked on the street.
• Always remove the battery and seat to keep the market value down.

Additional protection:

• Paint/engrave your IB2 number and QR code in all parts
• Add custom stickers and painting (hundreds), especially in unreachable surfaces
• Replace stock parts by cheaper parts
• Use Pitlock or Hexlock on the wheels, seatpost and stem
• Install custom and unique spokes and tires

Jurisdiction-dependent (check legality in your country, use at your own risk):

• "Skunk" locks (that release gas when broken)
• Hidden camera recording
• "Active" remote theft prevention mechanisms
