Having good security for your motorcycle is just as important when you're on the road as when it's parked. In fact, if you regularly park your motorcycle on the street, at ACMOTOS, we strongly recommend that you invest in the best motorcycle alarm.

In this article, we will help you choose the best motorcycle alarm. Having the best alarm for your motorcycle will allow you to park it on the street with greater security, as it will be protected from any vandalism or attempted theft.

Which is the best motorcycle alarm?

When it comes to buying a security device, it's always recommended to choose the best. However, choosing the best anti-theft alarm is not as simple as it seems. This is because there are certain factors to consider when choosing an alarm, as different types of security may be better suited for different motorcycles.

The first thing you'll need to decide is the type of security you prefer. The more sophisticated the security, the more difficult it will be for your motorcycle to be stolen, but the device will also be more expensive.

On the other hand, consider the type of motorcycle you want to protect. You may come across a motorcycle alarm with an integrated GPS module that sends information about the motorcycle's location to a control center, which can alert you if it is moving without your authorization.

Beyond these aspects, there is no doubt that the best motorcycle alarm is the one that offers the most security, regardless of its price.

How are motorcycle alarms?

A motorcycle anti-theft alarm is a device that emits a sound or sends a signal if the motorcycle is moved without your consent. Like any other type of alarm, the purpose of these alarms is to alert the user that someone is attempting to steal their motorcycle.

When buying a motorcycle alarm, it's important to consider factors such as its power. At ACMOTOS, we recommend that the motorcycle alarm you choose has a power of at least 150 decibels. This will make the alarm much more effective as it will attract much more attention.

Another important aspect when choosing a motorcycle alarm is the materials used. The more you invest in your motorcycle alarm, the better the materials will be. We recommend that you choose a motorcycle alarm with stainless steel materials. Stainless steel motorcycle alarms are the most resistant, and therefore, they have a longer lifespan.

You should also consider the ease of use of the alarm. Remember that every time you want to use the motorcycle, you'll need to deactivate the alarm, so you'll have to carry out a previous procedure before starting the motorcycle if you don't want it to activate. The simpler the procedure, the more convenient it will be.

Finally, motorcycle alarms have a built-in battery. This battery is very important, not only for the alarm to sound but also for some models to send the GPS signal to indicate the motorcycle's location at all times. The best motorcycle alarms have long-lasting batteries. Like the padlocks with alarm from Artago and Urban that are of high quality and emit a lot of sound.

Advantages and disadvantages of motorcycle alarms

The main advantage of a motorcycle alarm is precisely its function, that is, to protect the motorcycle. A motorcycle alarm will deter thieves who don't want to deal with these types of devices. It will prevent your motorcycle from being stolen, and it can also alert you if it has been moved or has suffered an impact, for example.

On the other hand, the main disadvantage of a motorcycle alarm is that you have to deactivate it every time you want to ride the motorcycle. This procedure can be quite annoying, especially when you're in a hurry to use the motorcycle. It's a small price to pay to make your motorcycle much safer.
