FAQs

How do I clean my bike after applying Datatag?

Clean your bike as you normally would, using a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents directly on the Datatag markings.

What happens if my bike is stolen?

Report the theft to the police and provide them with your Datatag registration details. This helps them identify your bike if recovered.

Is the UV etching visible?

No, the UV etching is designed to be virtually invisible and won't visibly mark your bike's paintwork.

How long does the Datatag system last?

The Datatag markings are designed to be permanent, providing long-term protection for your bike and its components.

What is the benefit of the QR code on the label?

The QR code allows anyone to quickly scan and identify your bike if found, directing them to the Datatag registration details.

What is the Datadot for?
