Your bike knows when someone touches it. So do you.

You parked it. Locked it. Walked away. 

You did everything right. And still, somewhere between the coffee queue and the checkout, the thought creeps in. Is it still there? 

Most cyclists have learned to live with that feeling. The Raleigh ONE doesn't ask you to. 

This feature is available for Core and Icon membership users. 

What actually happens when someone touches your bike 

The Raleigh ONE has a built-in alarm system that runs through the app. When the bike is armed, either manually through the app or automatically via Auto Arm after switching it off, it's watching. 

The moment someone moves it, tilts it, or tampers with it, three things happen simultaneously: 

  • The alarm will start making sound which will get louder every few seconds still the Raleigh ONE stands still again. 
  • The lights begin flashing. 
  • You receive a push notification on your phone through the app. (Only applicable for Core and Icon members) 

How to arm the Raleigh ONE 

Manual arming via the app 

Open the Raleigh app, switch the arm toggle, and it's armed. Three seconds.  

Auto Arm 

Set it once in the app. When the bike detects it's stationary and you've walked away, it arms itself. Most riders switch to this setting within the first week and never look back. 

Open app > Settings > toggle on ‘auto arm’ 

What it's not 

The bike alarm is not a replacement for a physical lock. Use both. 

What it is: an early warning system. A layer of protection that a standard lock can't offer, because a standard lock has no idea it's being attacked until it's too late. 

The alarm creates a window, time to act, time to call, time to share a location with someone who can help. And the sound and flashing lights alone are often enough. Opportunistic theft is exactly that: opportunistic. Noise and attention are its enemy. 

Why this matters more and more 

Urban bike theft is not a niche problem. In the Netherlands, around 300,000 bikes are stolen every year. In Germany the numbers are similarly high. 

The majority are never recovered, not because they can't be found, but because by the time the owner realizes the bike is gone, it's already too late to act. 

The Raleigh ONE alarm closes that gap. You know in real time. Which means you can respond in real time. 

The alarm as part of a wider system 

The alarm is one piece of a connected security system built into every Raleigh ONE on Core membership: 

  • Instant theft alert: immediate push notification the moment the alarm triggers 
  • GPS tracking: last-known location logged every time the bike is switched on, off or disturbed 
  • Stolen Mode: activate the app to increase location pings and share a live tracking link with others. 

Setting it up 

  • Download the Raleigh app from the App Store or Google Play 
  • Connect your Raleigh ONE via Bluetooth 
  • Navigate to Security settings in the app 
  • Set your preference: Manual arm or Auto Arm 
  • Enable push notifications when prompted 

Under two minutes. From that point on, your bike is watching. So you don't have to.
