Product Reviews
Bluefire Motorcycle Security Kit
This is an anti-theft electronic alarm that works with your motorcycle’s 12 or 24-volt batteries. It is operated with a remote controller, which means you can arm and disarm the alarm from a distance. The device is equipped with a high power siren of 125dB.
There is an optional anti-hijacking and remote start feature that you can choose to connect when installing. The sensitivity of the alarm through the vibration sensor can be adjusted, which means you can tune it not to be activated by people near the bike, wind, or rain, but it will go off if your motorcycle is interfered with.
Summary
This kit provides everything you need to protect your bike. It has an extra 9-volt battery for back-up, although it easily attaches to your bike’s power source. There is a very loud alarm that will startle anyone who sets it off. It can be heard within a range of about half a mile.
The alarm can be connected to your motorcycle’s lights so that they flash when the motion sensor is set off. The remote control feature acts as a remote starter for the engine, but also works for arming and disarming the alarm, and allows you to locate your bike when parked.
Pros
- A loud alarm that will startle thieves and can be heard from far away
- Ability to adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor in the system to ensure it goes off when you want it to
- Multi-functional and slim remote control to start the engine and arm or disarm the alarm

- Needs to be installed in a location where it will both fit safely, and can also pick up on vibrations to activate the alarm
RUPSE 2 Way Motorcycle Anti-Theft Alarm
This alarm provides a security solution and doubles as a keyless start and stop system for your motorcycle. It is a waterproof alarm that won’t be affected by the weather and can be powered using your motorbike’s battery.
You will receive two remote controls so that you have one spare. The alarm can be armed from the remote when leaving the motorcycle and disarmed as you approach. It has an impressively loud siren to deter thieves.
Summary
This product gives you three functional options that include the sound from the alarm, the alarm and flashing lights on your bike, and the immobilizer.

Easyguard Motorcycle Alarm System
This is a remote-controlled alarm system that also gives you the option to have a remote starter. It works from a shock sensor and a motion tilt sensor. These sensors will trigger the lights of your motorbike to flash and will set off the siren that comes with this system.
You can use the remote to silence the alarm, as well as arming and disarming it. The remote works as a pager to give you up to date information on the status of your bike. If the alarm goes off, the remote will alert you.
Summary
The LCD display remotes for this alarm system allow you to remote start your engine, arm your alarm system, mute the system, disarm the alarm, or stop the engine. The display gives you a status update on your bike to show if it is locked and if the alarm is going off.
There is a loud alarm and light-flashing deterrent that is triggered by a motion sensor and a shock sensor. The system is powered by your motorcycle’s battery, but you will need to buy extra batteries for the remote controls.
Pros
- The LCD display gives you peace of mind regarding your bike and alerts you if the alarm goes off
- Has shock and motion sensors to trigger the alarm
- Not too sensitive, so isn’t triggered by wind and rain

Conclusion
There are many great options out there on the market when it comes to protecting your motorbike. Security of your transport when leaving it parked outside for long stretches of time is critical. A remote alarm system is a great way to add some extra confidence. It means that whenever anyone goes near it, you and everyone else in the area will be alerted.
A loud alarm is crucial to these systems, as they startle thieves and attract attention from people in the surrounding area. Sensitivity can be an issue; you need a sensor that will detect when someone is touching your motorcycle, yet doesn’t respond to wind or rain.
Many alarm systems now have the added convenience of having a remote operation. This can often include a second function that allows you to start the engine using your remote rather than using your key. The remote controllers are generally easy to use and can be operated from a long distance. These products are typically wired to your motorbike’s system, so we would recommend seeking professional assistance for installation.
The Bluefire motorcycle alarm came out as our favorite. This was thanks to its piercing siren, ease of use, and multi-functional remote control that also could be used to start the engine. We recommend having a product where you can adjust the sensitivity of the alarm to your satisfaction. It is easy to use and effective product that provides excellent value for money.
