Stopheling vs BIKEBAZE: What's the difference?

What is Stopheling?‍

Stopheling is a government initiative that allows you to check if a product has been stolen, for example by entering a frame number or IMEI code. The tool is mainly aimed at traders and is connected to the police. An object does not appear there until a declaration has been filed.

What is BIKEBAZE?‍

BIKEBAZE is a modern, private solution for bicycle theft prevention and detection. Cyclists register their bike (including frame number) in an online database. With a visibly hard to remove SafeTag, others (such as police, civilians, or bike mechanics) can scan a bike and contact the owner if the bike is marked stolen. Even if there is none official declaration has been made.

The differences at a glance:

Why BIKEBAZE?

Stopheling plays an important role, but only works after a report and focuses mainly on investigation. BIKEBAZE combines registration, prevention and community involvement. This way, bicycles can be detected even before a report has been filed and we greatly reduce the risk of theft.

Extra advantage of BIKEBAZE - no frame number?

No frame number? No problem. BIKEBAZE offers a SafeTag one that stands out, is not easy to remove, and reduces the risk of theft by 98%. Even without a frame number, this gives you a greater chance of finding.

Conclusion

Stopheling is important for control after theft, BIKEBAZE focuses on the entire spectrum: registration, prevention and detection. Together, they form a powerful duo, but BIKEBAZE fills exactly the gaps that Stopheling does not have the resources or flexibility to do.
