Galeo Ride GPS Tracker for Bike or Motorcycle - Anti-Theft Alarm and Motion Sensor

Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the Galeo Ride GPS Tracker for Bike or Motorcycle

What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out the Galeo Ride. It's gonna be a GPS tracking device that you put on your bike. That way you can keep track of it. So we got the app here on the phone, let's check it out. The GPS tracker is gonna be right here on the handlebar.

They give you the mount and the screws to do that really easy. It's nothing permanent so we don't have to worry about it hurting the handlebar itself. The app is really easy to download on your phone. You can see a closer look, its telling us where we are where the blue dot and where the bike is. And since I'm standing right next to it, we are right there.

You can zoom in. It's nice, it gives you such a detailed map on where you and the bike are. Now there's some features with the app that are pretty nice. So one you can hit the arrow button that zooms it out, to show you where you and the bike are. So just zoom in.

Back where we were. Now you can also use this if it's not centered, hit the center to bring it right there. And then there's an alarm. So you can hit that if you see somebody near it, that's if you're in Bluetooth range And you can sound the alarm. We can stop it.

And then another thing I really like is it can take you exact directions to where your bike is. So if you don't know where it is, if you can hit that it'll open up whatever maps you have in your phone and you get directions exactly where it is. Let's go over a few more things with the app. Down here's an extended menu. We have the name, we just named it "Bike", 'cause that's what we put the GPS on. We have the "Near You" update so it's not live tracking but it'll let you know how long ago it checked in. So right now it's 16 seconds ago, it checked in with the bike. Up here we can see the Bluetooth is connected. I got one bar of service on the phone and the GPS tracker is fully charged. There's some other options down here under the name. We got the alert when it's outta range motion settings on. So that means if somebody was to take this bike and start walking away, I have to get a notification on my phone that hey, your bike's on the move. That means when they leave it where it goes it takes about five minutes to check in again let you know it's stopped. And then it gives you the location of that bike. And you also have the alarm setting for high/low. You also have the "Manage Device". We can go into that. There's extra options in there if you need to mess with the device a little bit more. And then "About Device" just has a little bit more information about the device itself. So if I hit back and leave the bike, you can see the app lets you track multiple devices. So if you have a different version of one of their GPS trackers on the truck like we do, it's all in the same app. So I do like that. I don't want to have a bunch of different apps for different devices. I can just go here, click on the bike and see where that is. Look at the GPS device itself. It doesn't take up that much space on your handlebar. I already have the screws on for the mounting. Also it is waterproof, so you don't have to worry about the elements bothering it. We have a cover here for the USB port. That way you can keep that sealed up so that nothing gets in there. Now I'm gonna show you how to charge it up. You just plug the USB plug that comes with it into the GPS. Now it's gonna take a little bit to charge it up but it is gonna hold a charge that goes from three to four months. You saw we mounted it to the handle bars. You can also put it underneath your seat. So I got the second half of the bracket here. I've run one of the screws in on the other side. I'll get the on the one hand tight come back with a tool that's included. A specialty tool. You see there's a hole in the middle that way you can't just use any Allen key on this to get it loosened up. So it takes this tool to tighten it down or loosen it so you don't have to worry about anybody taking it off on ya. So let's keep going back and forth. Tighten these down evenly to keep it in place. Now if you we're to put it on your handlebars it's ready to fit handlebars of 22.2 millimeters to 25.4 millimeters to 31.8 millimeters. So just keep that in mind with your handlebars. Overall, I think the GPS is a good idea on your bike if that is something you're worried about. As far as the app goes it was really easy to download and use. Even signing up for their subscription service wasn't bad. It didn't take me any time at all to get into the app versus some of the other apps I work with with trucks or trailer GPS where it can take a lot of time and the app's not that great once you get it open. This one gave me a full detailed map. I have an Android, so it was Google Maps, and showed me exactly where the bike was and could even hit the button to give me directions on my phone to go find it. So I thought that was really useful and that's what it's all about is making sure you find your bike if it goes missing. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped.
