It says "The next generation in standard bicycle security with a $1500 USD anti-theft protection". Has anyone had any success with a claim?

Good luck. Read my review, but basically, there's a lot of red tape, and you have to register it instantly when you get it, plus pay money every year. Might be worth it if your bike is at the top end of value.

The Anti-Theft offer doesn't come with the product. They offer $1500 coverage for $10/year that is applicable to this product, but you still need to pay for it.

I'm not sure, but it's protected my $3000 bike for the last year ok. It is super heavy duty, I use it for my moped as well.

No to both questions,but i did register mine as a bike with local law enforcement,so i have a registration sticker.

I bought the warranties having just 'lost' two computers that weren't under warranty and the parts to fix them were no longer available. I bought them simply for the replacement value. I can't speak about Smart Guard because I don't remember what their warranty did and did not cover, but extended warranties are generally a poor investment. They know how long the product will last and their warranty periods take that into account. I understand you also have to fight them; they accuse claimants of mis-use, etc. I find it telling that you can't read Smart Guard's waranty prior to buying it, and after purchasing, it takes a while to get via the 'Net, giving you little time to 'return it'.

Thanks Todd for the info. We are actually getting a refund from them as well. We were going to go out and buy the extreme bike with the refund but now I think we will just save our money. Thanks for sharing your experience! You have been very helpful and probably saving us a lot of time and hassel! You are right about one thing though They do have great customer service.Melissa

I don't think it matters that much. Any device like this when installed properly will certainly deter an easy bike theft. And that is what counts.

From what I read on their website, they don't think too much about it. They offer no refunds unless its defective. It just wont work on my bike at all. no easy place to mount. No fairing or windshield to cover the noise and no helmet is worn. So my partner is stuck with a piece of crap that won't work on my bike and can't be returned new in the box. bad company Tachyon.

I looked it up on Google & here's what I found: http://www.sportsmith.net/images/product_support%5CProForm%5CPFEL038120%20-%20PROFORM%20HYBRID%20TRAINER%20BIKE%5CPFEL03812.0-333188.pdf

My first Cyclamatic bike was defective right out of the box, and they simply replaced it, paid for shipping and everything. As far as I can tell, they supply no repair service or replacement parts. I wanted a second battery but they were never able to supply one. Now my bike is out of warrantee and the battery needs repair or replacement. I found a battery online for $500 - too much for me to spend on a bike I paid six hundred dollars for (plus a hundred dollars shipping). If anyone knows of anybody who repairs these bikes, please let me know.

I've had mine since Aug. 2013. Fairly regular use (at least weekly) and dropped it off my bike once at about 25 MPH. Other than scratches in the paint and a nick by the switch in the back where it hit the asphalt, it works exactly as new. I would have no concerns about mounting it on a weapon. It's a solid piece of hardware.

I have had the bike for about five years and put thousands of miles on it. I have had no problem with the display going off when peddling. The problems I had were getting the heart monitor hooked up correctly. The instructions were wrong and the fan is useless. I resolved this problem by getting a portable fan. This was an amazingly good deal. I have not seen it listed for sale for many years. This does not mean I am unsympathetic to Tanya's complaint, but I do not know how to fix it. Jeff

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here.The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.

I don't think that it is theft-protected. It is very easy to remove from the trunk of the car, if desired, with out opening the trunk at all. I tried and succeeded. If you are worried about the area you live in---I'd take it home for the night, or just remove it and put it into the trunk. This bike rack is easy to install/remove.

I've never had it happen, but it does warn you in their handbook that this is a bike to be ridden in more ideal conditions. They do however offer a more rugged mountain bike version, but it'll set you back another 1,000$
