Q. Once I place my order, how long will it take to receive my Log Book and kit?
A. 2 to 4 working days.

Q. What is the difference between an interrupted and uninterrupted bike frame?
A. An interrupted frame is one with full suspension where the seat tube ends half way and does not join up with the rest of the frame.

Q. After purchasing my kit, how long will my bike remain on the database?
A. All the details will be held on the database for the lifetime of the bike.

Q. Does that mean it is a one-off payment, with no annual charges?
A. Yes, that’s right.

Q. How can my bike be identified as mine?
A. Police can identify a bike in three ways:
1. The Frame Number which appears on almost all bike frames (but is not always unique)
2. The unique Permanent Mark (supplied in kits 2 and 3)
3. A uniquely coded electronic Datatag (supplied in kit 3)

Q. How does the electronic tag work?
A. The tag has a unique code which can be read by a hand-held reader (these are kept by the Police). The code is registered on the system along with all your other details, so that your bike can be identified as yours.

Q. What is the idea behind the Log Book?
A. The Log Book works in the same way as a vehicle log book does – proving who the bike belongs to. If sold, the Log Book is passed on to the next owner, who then changes the ownership details to their own.

Q. Do the Police know about bikeregister.com?
A. Yes, we work very closely with the Police, and the marking product supplied in kits 2 and 3 is a ‘Police Preferred Product’. The police have also carried out many Bike Marking Days with us in areas of high crime.
