Locky is an advanced bicycle security solution designed to provide an elevated level of protection for users, particularly in urban areas. It addresses the widespread issue of bike theft by offering a robust two-point locking system that secures both the frame and front wheel of the bicycle. This innovation not only enhances security but also incorporates sustainable practices, utilizing solar-powered technology and local manufacturing. The unique combination of these features sets Locky apart from other bicycle security solutions available in the market. The design of Locky balances functionality and aesthetics. It features a sleek, modern appearance that blends seamlessly with urban settings while conveying a sense of security and reliability.

Beneath the clean design lies a robust, full-stack engineering solution — developed end-to-end by our team. We developed the complete electronic architecture from scratch, including a custom PCB with optimized power domains for lock actuation, sensor acquisition, radio modules, solar harvesting circuitry using a compact PV module, to ensure long-term autonomy in outdoor conditions.

Locky combines 4G and Bluetooth for local and remote control via mobile app, with diagnostics and cloud updates secured by encrypted protocols. Its custom piezo algorithm detects suspicious vibrations and filters out false alerts. Solar panels and smart power management deliver long-lasting autonomy. The Supabase-powered cloud infrastructure handles device monitoring, remote updates, and real-time alerts, accessible through both app and web dashboard. Locky is market-ready: reliable, autonomous, and built for users and operators alike—a complete technology solution, with no compromise.
