Yes! Registering your bike in our database is completely free. You only pay if you want to order physical QR code stickers for your bike.

You need your bike's serial number (found on the frame) and the country where it is. Brand, model, color, and photos are optional but help with identification.

Yes, you can register as many bikes as you own. Each bike will have its own record and can be managed separately.

You can update your bike status (active, stolen, recovered) from your dashboard at any time.

Use our secure dual-confirmation transfer system. Generate a transfer code, share it with the new owner, and they can claim the bike within 24 hours.

Use the ownership transfer feature to securely transfer the bike to the new owner. Your record will be updated automatically.

Mark your bike as stolen in the app immediately — or register it first if you haven't already. This will notify the community and make it visible in our public database, increasing the chance of recovery.

Yes, you can update details like brand, model, color, photos, and location at any time. Only the serial number cannot be changed after registration.

When you transfer ownership, the bike record stays in the system but moves to the new owner's account. The complete ownership history is preserved for transparency.

The serial number is required for registration. Check under the bottom bracket, on the seat tube, rear stays, or near the headset. If you cannot find it, contact the manufacturer or bike shop where you purchased it.

Scan the QR code sticker with the Bike Registry app, or search by serial number (a free account is required). If the bike is marked as stolen, you can contact the owner through our secure messaging system.

Each sticker has a unique QR code linked to your bike. Anyone with the Bike Registry app (free) can scan it to check the status and contact the owner — making lost or stolen bikes easier to recover.

Stickers are shipped within 2-3 business days. Delivery time depends on your location, typically 5-10 business days.

No. We are GDPR compliant and privacy-first. Public searches only show bike status, city, and country. Your personal details remain private.

We store your name, email, phone number (optional), and bike information. We never share your personal details publicly - only bike status, city, and country are visible in searches. All data handling complies with GDPR regulations.

You can delete your account from the app settings. All your data will be permanently removed in compliance with GDPR.

Yes! Our mobile app is available for iOS and Android. Download it from the App Store or Google Play for the best experience with features like QR code scanning and instant notifications.

If a bike is not found in our database, it hasn't been registered yet. (Searching requires a free Bike Registry account.) We recommend asking the seller to register it first, or you can register it yourself after purchase to protect your investment.
