Original Poster: Unfortunately no. because the lock has no direct data connection. Besides, it will probably too late by the time you get to your bike...unless you are very close by.

If someone manages to steal your bike, they probably damage the lock to get it. In case someone steals your lock or you lose your lock, you can disable it remotely.

as the owner of the lock you can manage permissions through the app. Also you can apply the same argument to Lockitron. They can grant access to anyone to open your door lock and I believe you have more valuable stuff at your house.

1 - Compared to picking a lock, hacking AES-128 is lot more difficult :D 2 - The battery last up to 5 years on average usage (lock&unlock 5 times a day) + you get a notification on your phone when it is time to replace the battery.

No we are not use a one time password. The key changes every time interact with the lock to stop man-in-the-middle attacks. We use AES-128 encryption that is the access control industry standard (and we think it is enough). As a side note,

Nothing happens until you interact with the lock. So it won't automatically lock and unlock. You have to press a button on the lock to lock/unlock.

As a consumer product, BitLock is targeting a niche market (like any other keyless locks). It is way more convenient than a regular lock. You don't have to carry a key with you plus the interaction is seamless. Also we never have to de

Imagine there's a button instead of the key hole. press it once = open, press it again = close. If you are out of range, press it = nothing happens. The lock just does't pop.

a) The lock does not fall off. It basically grants you the permission to lock and unlock directly from the lock. Imagine replacing the keyhole on your lock with a button and everything is the same. You don’t even have to touch your phone. L

One option would be to borrow someone else's phone and log into the BitLock app and use their phone to lock and unlock. You can technically lock/unlock from your macbook/ipad since both have build-in bluetooth 4. But currentl
