In the city, a bike is better than a car in almost every way. You can ride around just as fast, you can always find a parking spot, and you stay in better shape. The only major drawback is that a bike is much easier to steal than a car. If you could track a stolen bike, that would certainly help. That's why the new Thunder 1 VST from Velotric has Apple's Find My built in.

“We believe that most bike thefts are opportunistic crimes: a bike left outside for an extended period of time, a bike that is poorly locked, a bad lock,” Connor Swegle, CMO of bike maker Priority Bicycles, told Lifewire via email.

Find My is Apple’s umbrella term for tracking people, gadgets and objects. You can check your partner’s location if they share it, you can find a misplaced phone, and you can track your missing AirPods case to that gap in the couch cushions… Again.
