Air Tags--- but not APPLE.

[sdkid]

My daughter bought a pair of EV dirt-bikes for her kids. I told her to put a tracking device on those damn things. Dual purpose there--- if the bikes get stolen, AND if the kids wander off....

WHAT should she use to do this?? I have never dealt with any of that tech ever...

You can choose either apple airtag or Samsung smart tag.
Your choice should depend on what devices are more common in your area (since the tag uses the surrounding devices to as relays), Android or iPhones and what device you have.

The tags have anti stalking feature, which means a theif may be aware of the tag.

The tags also makes a sound (in certain scenarios), which again assist a theif.

Placment is critical, you don't want to place it in an accecible/visible part of the bike, but you cannot place it wherever you want, since the reception maybe eliminated in some cases (Faraday cage effect).

I never had one, I've considered it for placing in my car, but didn't buy eventually.

Things to consider:

1. Are you willing to pay a subscription or cellular fees?
2. Do you need real time GPS location?
3. Will the dirt bikes be ridden off road and subjected to elements and vibration?
