The device is probably not completely bad, but it did not meet expectations, partly because of the faulty shock sensor - it did not react at all, but also because of the not fully functional management of the motion alarm (for example, the smallest possible distance is set to 200 m, even if you set a smaller one by command) and especially the power management. A relatively major problem with motorbike use is the relatively high consumption even in the "sleep" state (20 - 40 mA), which will drain the motorbike battery quite reliably within a week, even sooner with smaller batteries. I.e. for example, for holiday trips it's probably OK, but for year-round use it's a bit impractical. On the other hand, if the alarm is connected (and charged) only when the switch is flipped, the tiny internal battery won't even last overnight. On the other hand, the possibility to use only in SMS mode (=without data transmissions) is positive, the configuration is simple and the device is functional even outside the EU at a reasonable price. even for free (for example, on a "zero tariff" VF), as long as I don't have any alarms set (which basically suck anyway) and just request the location by ringing if needed. Thanks to the Czech distributor, there is quite functional user support available, which is a big +.
small size
functional user support
quite detailed Czech instructions
functional outside the EU, in SMS mode at a reasonable price resp. free of charge (unless there is an alarm)
non-functional shock sensor (probably a defect of a particular piece)
Motion alarm responds from up to 200 m from the original position
low battery life (tens of minutes)
Sleep consumption 20 - 40 mA, which is a lot for a motorcycle
