Unstealable by Design: Comodule Unveils Drive Unit Lock for Next-Level E-Bike Security
As connectivity becomes the new currency in the bicycle industry, Comodule is giving OEMs the tools to stay in control. With the launch of its Drive Unit Lock at Eurobike 2025, the IoT pioneer introduces another powerful theft deterrent that’s not just a technical upgrade but a business-critical asset for brand differentiation in a fragmented, fast-moving market.

Much like the mobile phone industry once did, the bicycle industry now stands at a fundamental turning point. Instead of differentiating through components and range, connectivity, user experience and services are what count today. Smart e-bikes are not just a trend; they are a central element of modern mobility, especially in urban environments. In the future, the bicycle will become a connected data hub: efficient, resource-saving and integrated into digital infrastructures.
At Eurobike 2025 (Frankfurt am Main, June 25 to 29, 2025), Comodule will demonstrate how the seamless networking of hardware, software, and services sets new standards for safety, comfort and efficiency, and which digital functions will become standard in the future.
One tap ahead of thieves: Comodule’s modular security ecosystem in action
In its demo area, the market leader for connectivity in the bicycle industry will use the example of a safety ecosystem to showcase how the interaction between IoT components and companion app functions comes together:
A reminder if you forget to lock your bike? A fully integrated drive unit lock? An e-bike that cries out for help when moved without authorization? Remote locking and disabling? Real-time tracking and recovery? One tap is enough. Everything is conveniently controlled via the app and updated over the air. All bundled in a single OEM-branded interface. Fully modular and scalable.
The latest innovation, the Drive Unit Lock, marks a milestone in e-bike security. Even if the IoT module is removed, the motor remains immobilized – making the bike effectively inoperable for thieves. Combined with live tracking, critical movement alerts and integration of third-party smart locks, Comodule’s security suite drastically lowers the attractiveness and resale value of stolen e-bikes. A stolen bike becomes a useless bike.
Who doesn’t get connected, will be left behind
The digitalization of the e-bike presents the bicycle industry with a fundamental decision. Manufacturers who do not take the digital user experience into their own hands now risk becoming interchangeable hardware suppliers. The industry has acknowledged: if you’re not connected, you’re already being left behind – a moment reminiscent of Nokia’s decline in the smartphone age.
Smart components often rely on proprietary apps and closed ecosystems, causing brands to lose direct access to their customers, and with it, their ability to differentiate in the long term. Comodule counters this with a system-independent IoT platform that gives brands back control and enables a consistent, brand-owned digital experience. System-agnostic. Scalable. Ready to connect.
In a fragmented market with countless systems and suppliers, Comodule’s open ecosystem and strategic partnerships drive compatibility and innovation. Over the past year, numerous drive units and components have become Comodule-ready, allowing manufacturers to connect their bikes more easily across all price segments and platforms.
For users, this means a seamless experience through one single app instead of navigating multiple interfaces. OEMs, on the other hand, are no longer restricted in their component choices and retain full control over the user interface, brand experience and digital business models such as subscriptions, insurance and service bundles. By freeing brands from the constraints of closed ecosystems, Comodule fosters faster innovation, better products and a more connected, diverse market.
