GPS Trackers for Motorcycles & Scooters in Georgia

16 October 2026 · 4 min read

To protect a motorcycle or scooter from theft in Georgia, a hidden hardwired tracker like the R16 is best. It runs on the onboard electrical system, takes up very little space, and allows you to remotely immobilize the engine, which is critical for two-wheeled vehicles that are harder to hide than cars.

In short:

  • The R16 tracker is installed discreetly and runs on the motorcycle's battery.
  • The device supports remote engine immobilization via a relay.
  • It features a power disconnection notification function.
  • Installation is available in Batumi, Tbilisi, and Kutaisi.

Features of installation on two-wheeled transport

Motorcycles and scooters have less space for equipment than cars, but this is no obstacle to installing a modern GPS tracker. Hardwired devices connect directly to the ignition circuit or battery. This guarantees a stable power supply and signal accuracy. Unlike OBD trackers, which are visible in the port and can become a target for thieves, hidden models are as inconspicuous as possible.

For motorcycles, it is important that the tracker can withstand vibrations and temperature fluctuations. The R16 device is designed for a wide voltage range (9–90V), making it suitable for most two-wheeled vehicles. After installation, the owner gets access to an app where they can see the current location, speed, and trip history.

Why OBD trackers are not suitable for mopeds

OBD-II trackers (such as the R58L or R56L) are designed for cars with a diagnostic port. Most motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds lack such a port, or it is not standardized. Even if an adapter exists, the OBD port itself is often located in an accessible place, making the device vulnerable to physical removal during a theft.

Therefore, for motorcycle protection, we recommend only hidden hardwired installation. The R16 tracker is mounted in hard-to-reach places on the frame or under the plastic, minimizing the risk of detection and removal.

Security features for motorcycles

The main task of a tracker is to help recover stolen property. In addition to location tracking, the R16 model is equipped with a remote engine immobilization function. If you see on the map that your motorcycle is moving without you, you can block its startup via the app. To do this, a relay controlled by the tracker is integrated into the ignition circuit.

Additionally, the device sends a notification if the power is cut off. This is a signal that someone may have disconnected the battery. Combined with trip history and geofences, you get a complete picture of what is happening. For example, you can set up an alert if the motorcycle leaves the parking area.

Installation Process at DriveBox

Installing a tracker on a motorcycle takes less time than on a car because the wiring is simpler. DriveBox technicians at install the tracker perform the work quickly and carefully. We do not damage the plastic parts and leave no extra wires behind. The client receives instructions on how to use the app and set up geofences.

The app allows you to manage multiple devices if you have both a car and a motorcycle. For motorcycle fleet owners, corporate conditions are also available; read more about GPS for fleets.

Why Motorcycles Are Stolen in Georgia

Motorcycles and scooters remain a popular target for thieves due to their compactness and ease of movement. They are easy to hide in a basement or transport in the trunk of another car. Without a tracker, the chances of finding stolen motorcycle transport are low. With a GPS device, the probability of recovery is much higher, as you can track movement in real time and pass the data to law enforcement.

It is important to understand that a tracker is not insurance, but a security enhancement tool. It does not prevent physical theft, but it allows for a quick response. If you frequently use your moped in the city, you should also consider mechanical locks, but electronic protection remains the main barrier against intruders.

DriveBox installs R16 trackers on motorcycles and scooters in Batumi, Tbilisi, and Kutaisi. The price of the device is 120 ₾, and the service is paid monthly or annually. We will help you choose the optimal installation location and configure all parameters to suit your needs.
