In this detailed review, Ben Durham thoroughly examines a $15 generic wireless bike alarm, evaluating its practical utility and performance across multiple testing scenarios. The video comprehensively explores the alarm’s key features, including signal range, volume levels, and sensitivity settings through systematic hands-on tests. Ben demonstrates the alarm’s functionality by testing its remote control range, showcasing how it responds to movement and potential tampering. While highlighting the alarm’s loud sound and multiple sensitivity modes, he candidly explains that the device is not a foolproof theft prevention solution. The alarm’s primary value lies in its ability to deter opportunistic thieves and alert the owner, rather than providing absolute bike protection. Ben recommends using the alarm in conjunction with traditional bike locking techniques, emphasizing that skilled thieves can still potentially steal a bike quickly. Despite its limitations, he considers the alarm a worthwhile purchase at its affordable price point, offering a basic layer of security and peace of mind for bicycle owners.
