    The place installs new horns too for about 50 rmb. Ask for Xiao Xu.

    If someone touches your bike the alarm sounds. In addition, an alert is sent to a small pager and the pager sounds and vibrates. The reception is about 100 meters so not that great if you are far away. The higher end versions automatically cut off the ignition as well and sound if someone tries to turn the ignition.

    Ok thanks, I'll try to check this too. Do you know if it would work with an underground parking lot ? I'll sleep less than 100 meters away, but it's no use if the pager cannot receive the signal... ;-))

    Concrete will definitely block it. If the bike is in the open, and you are in a tall building, reception is good. I have found, in general, however, that having this kind of alarm is a little stressful. The alarm has two modes, one, a slight beep and vibration for people touching it. The other, when someone is really moving the bike around. The first mode is easily set off by loud, low noises as rumbling scooters.

    99% of the time the alarms are false alarms. I find that by the time I get to the bike, there is no one around it. So now I just let the alarm sound.
