Best Bike Alarms Compatible with Apple Find My
Find My makes a trike easier to recover, but it relies on nearby phones and never replaces a lock.
Updated · 4 min read · 5 products evaluated
Apple's Find My network lets a small tag report its location through any nearby Apple device. For a trike that is parked in a busy street, that can be enough to point you to where it went. In a quiet lot it can be slow, because it needs a phone to pass by.
None of these stop a theft. They help recovery and some deter a thief who spots them. Use them behind a lock from /accessories/best-chain-locks-for-adult-tricycles/, and read /adult-tricycle-locking-and-theft-prevention/ first.
Short answer
The Ravemen is the best overall for Apple users who want a rechargeable tracker hidden under a bottle cage. The Orbit Velo suits a set-and-forget install with up to 3 years of battery. The MiLi bell and mount, and the LESOVI bell, hide a tag in plain sight on the handlebar.

Best Overall1 of 5
Ravemen Bike Tracker for Apple Find My
Rechargeable, 27g, with Lost Mode alerts and tamper-resistant screws.
Best for
Apple users wanting low upkeep
Why we like it
The Ravemen relies on the Find My network and installs under a bottle holder or frame with tamper-resistant screws. It charges in two hours and runs about 8 months per charge. Lost Mode and an alert when it disconnects add to the recovery tools.
Next to the Orbit Velo it is rechargeable, not a replaceable cell. Both rely on nearby Apple devices. Best for an iPhone owner in a busy town; its coverage is only as good as the phones passing by.

Best Long Battery2 of 5
Orbit Velo Bike Tracker with Apple Find My
Up to 3 years from a replaceable battery, with security bolts.
Best for
Install-and-forget riders
Why we like it
The Orbit Velo bolts to the bottle cage mount or below the cage with specialized security bolts and a unique tool. It connects to Find My and promises up to 3 years of tracking from a replaceable battery.
Compared with the Ravemen, you never recharge it. The cost is that you replace the cell later. Like the others, it only reports through nearby Apple devices. Best for a trike that sits for long periods.
Key specs
| Fit and mounting | Bottle cage mount |
|---|---|
| Features | Find My, security bolts |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths

Best Hidden Mount3 of 5
MiLi Bike Mount with Built-In Tracker
A reflective bike mount with a hidden tracker for Apple Find My or Google Find Hub.
Best for
Riders who want a visible reflector
Why we like it
The MiLi is a reflective bike mount with a hidden tracker that works with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, but it cannot be paired with both at once. Within Bluetooth range of about 60 meters you can play a sound, and beyond it nearby phones help locate it.
It serves a different role from the Ravemen, since it doubles as a reflector. Choose it on a trike where you want a visible, normal-looking part. Caveat: pick the phone ecosystem at setup.
Key specs
| Fit and mounting | Fits mountain, road and e-bikes |
|---|---|
| Features | Find My or Google Find Hub, reflective, 60 m Bluetooth |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Reflective for night
- Works with Apple or Google
- Looks like normal hardware
- Play Sound feature
Limitations
- Cannot pair with both
- Reflector is a minor feature
Consider it if
- Night riders
- Mixed phone households
Skip it if
- Riders wanting a long-life tracker
Best Bell and Tracker4 of 5
MiLi Anti-Theft Bike Bell with Tracker
A copper alloy bell over a hidden tracker, no subscription needed.
Best for
Riders who want a bell anyway
Why we like it
This bell hides a Bluetooth tracker that works with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, and it needs no subscription. It rings at 80 dB or more and fits bars of 0.87, 1, and 1.25 inches.
It is a normal bell on the handlebar, which makes the tracker hard to spot. The tracker only gives a rough location through nearby phones, so it helps recovery, not prevention. Best for a trike that needs a bell.
Key specs
| Fit and mounting | Handlebar, 0.87 to 1.25 inch |
|---|---|
| Features | Find My or Google Find Hub, 80 dB bell, copper alloy |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Hides in a bell
- No subscription
- Fits common bar sizes
- Loud classic ring
Limitations
- Cannot pair with both

Consider it if

Best Brass AirTag Bell5 of 5
LESOVI Bicycle Bell for AirTag
A brass bell with a hidden AirTag compartment; AirTag not included.
Best for
Riders who already own an AirTag
Why we like it
The LESOVI is a classic brass bell with a sealed compartment for an AirTag and a rubber ring that keeps rain out. The AirTag is not included. A wrap-around bracket holds it to the bar.
It is a looks-first choice next to the MiLi bell, and you supply the tag. Care is needed when opening it, and a thief can unscrew a bell. Best for an owner who already has an AirTag.
Key specs
| Fit and mounting | Wrap-around bracket |
|---|---|
| Features | Brass alloy, AirTag compartment, waterproof ring |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths

How We Chose These Find My Bike Alarms
- Network fit
- We checked that each tag works with Apple Find My and noted which ones also support Google Find Hub, because the network decides whether a stolen trike can ever be located.
- Hiding and tamper resistance
- Security bolts, bells and reflector mounts that look like ordinary parts ranked higher, since a thief who spots an obvious tag on a wide trike frame simply pulls it off.
- Battery effort
- Years between battery changes beat monthly recharging for a trike that may sit parked for weeks, because a dead tag reports nothing when the trike goes missing.
- Mounting on a trike
- We looked at bottle cage mounts, handlebar bells and wrap-around brackets, since a trike has wide bars and tubing that suit some mounts far better than others.
- Honest limits
- All of these are unverified, and none replaces a lock; they help recovery after a theft and may put off a thief who notices them.
What to Look for in a Find My Bike Alarm
Coverage depends on passing phones
Find My has no radio of its own that reaches far. A tag sends a small Bluetooth signal, and any nearby Apple device relays its position, so the tag only reports when someone with an iPhone walks within range.
On a busy street that happens within minutes, while a quiet cul-de-sac may go silent for hours. Think about where you park, and see /accessories/best-bike-alarms-with-gps-trackers/ if your spot is remote.
Where the tag hides
A visible tag is the first thing a thief removes, and a trike has plenty of open tubing where a plain case would stand out. Bells, reflector mounts and spots under the bottle cage look like normal hardware.
Walk around your trike and pick a spot you would not notice yourself. If the tag needs a bottle cage, check that your frame has bosses, because many trike frames do not.
Tag or complete unit
Some products here are holders for an AirTag you already own, while others contain their own tracker. The holder is cheaper to buy, but you must supply the tag and keep it charged with a fresh coin cell.
Read the box contents before ordering. The LESOVI bell, for example, holds an AirTag that is not included, so a buyer without one ends up with a bell and nothing to track.
Battery plan
A replaceable coin cell can last a year or more, and the Orbit Velo claims up to 3 years. A rechargeable unit like the Ravemen gives about 8 months per charge but needs a cable and a reminder.
Put a twice-a-year check in your calendar. A tag that has quietly died reports nothing on the day you need it, which is the worst moment to find out.
One network at a time
The MiLi mount and bell work with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, but you choose one network at setup. The tag cannot report to both at once.
If your household mixes iPhone and Android, decide whose phone will hold the alert before pairing. Check that the owner is the person most likely to be home when the alert fires.
How to Choose
By Hiding Style
| Situation | Our pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hidden under the frame | Ravemen Bike Tracker for Apple Find My | Sits under a bottle cage with tamper-resistant screws. |
| Long battery, little upkeep | Orbit Velo Bike Tracker with Apple Find My | Up to 3 years from a replaceable battery. |
| Looks like a bell | MiLi Anti-Theft Bike Bell with Tracker | Tracker hidden inside an 80 dB bell on the bars. |
| Looks like a reflector | MiLi Bike Mount with Built-In Tracker | Reflective mount hides the tag in plain sight. |
| Own an AirTag already | LESOVI Bicycle Bell for AirTag | Brass bell holds the tag you already have. |
Built-In Tracker vs Your Own AirTag
- Built-in
- The Ravemen, Orbit Velo and both MiLi products contain a tracker, so you unbox and pair. The Ravemen recharges, while the Orbit Velo uses a replaceable cell that can last up to 3 years.
- Your own tag
- The LESOVI holds an AirTag you already own, in a brass bell with a waterproof sealed ring. It suits a rider with a tag in a drawer, but the AirTag is not in the box.
Most buyers should choose a built-in tracker unless they already own an AirTag.
For Android and iPhone Households Specifically
- Look for
- A product that supports both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub, so either phone in the house can own the tag. Remember that it reports to only one network at a time.
- In this comparison
- The MiLi mount and the MiLi bell work with either network, with a 60 m Bluetooth range on the mount. The Ravemen, Orbit Velo and LESOVI are Apple only.
When to Spend More
- Spend more if
- Your trike is costly or parks in public. Pair the Ravemen or Orbit Velo with a solid lock, and add an alarm from /accessories/best-bike-alarms-for-adult-tricycles/ so a thief has to deal with noise as well.
- Save if
- You park in a locked garage, where the LESOVI bell with an AirTag you already own is enough. A bell on the bars also does a useful daily job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Find My stop theft?
No. A tag helps you locate the trike after it is gone and may put off a thief who spots it. A solid lock and a fixed anchor point are still the first line of defense, so treat the tag as a second layer.
Does it need a subscription?
The Find My products here have no monthly plan, since they use the passing-phone network instead of a cellular connection. A true cellular tracker does charge for service, which is the tradeoff for tracking in remote places.
Can I pair with Android?
The two MiLi products support Google Find Hub as well as Apple Find My, but only one network at a time. The Ravemen, Orbit Velo and LESOVI work with Apple only, so Android owners should look at the MiLi options.
How accurate is the location?
Accuracy depends on how many Apple devices pass the trike. Near shops and sidewalks you may get a fresh, close position, while in a quiet area the last report can be old or rough. Test it by walking away with the tag.
Can a thief remove the tag?
Yes, if they find it. Choose a hidden spot, use the tamper-resistant screws on the Ravemen or the security bolts on the Orbit Velo, and avoid clipping a tag where it is obvious on the wide trike frame.
Is the MiLi reflector mount only for show?
The reflector is a minor bonus. Its real job is to look like normal hardware while holding a tracker, so a thief on a quick pass has no reason to inspect it. It also gives some night visibility, but do not treat it as a light.
Bottom Line
The Ravemen is the best fit for most Apple users, thanks to its tamper screws and long charge, and the Orbit Velo suits riders who want an install-once battery. Choose a MiLi if your household uses Android, and the LESOVI if you already own an AirTag. Treat all of them as recovery aids, never as a substitute for a lock.
