The cellular and GPS tracking functionality on LEO 2 Pro can be customized depending on your fleet's use case. Here are a few examples:
In this use case, bikes can be used by employees on a large suburban corporate campus. Bikes are parked in front of multiple buildings on the campus, and employees can use the bikes to travel between the various buildings.
While bikes are inside the campus, they can remain unlocked. This allows employees to access the bikes without requiring the employees to unlock them first. Employees do not need to use a mobile app, and can simply walk up to a bike and ride. The bike will remain unlocked while it is inside the bounds of the campus. If the bike is ridden outside the campus then an alert is sent to notify the fleet operations personnel. If the bike remains outside the campus bounds, then the bike will automatically lock up after movement has stopped. Then the fleet operations personnel retrieve the bike to bring it back into the campus.
The following configurations would be used in this scenario:
Auto-lock disabled inside the campus. This allows the bike to stay unlocked. Once the bike goes outside the campus bounds, then auto-lock is automatically enabled. This allows the bike to lock up only when it is outside the campus bounds.
Ride tracking enabled - This allows the bike to continuously track its location while it is unlocked and being ridden, so that it can identify when it goes outside the campus bounds.
Location Updates when locking - After the bike locks up and it is outside the campus bounds, a location update is sent to the fleet operator dashboard
Theft tracking enabled - If the bike is locked and it is moved, its location will be sent to the fleet operator dashboard
Daily Location Updates - The bike’s location will be sent to the fleet operator dashboard daily.
Alternatively, while bikes are inside the campus, they can remain locked when they are not in use. As the bikes are locked, this improves the security of the bikes. To unlock the bikes, employees will be required to use a mobile app. After the employee completes their ride, they can lock up the bike using the mobile app. Alternatively the bike can automatically lock up after the ride is finished and the bike is no longer in motion.
The following configurations would be used in this scenario:
Auto-lock is enabled at all times. This allows the bikes to be locked up when they are not in use.
Option 1: Unlock bikes using bluetooth - Employees will open a mobile app that will unlock bikes using bluetooth.
Option 2: Unlock bikes using cellular - Employees will open a mobile app that will unlock bikes using cellular. This will require the “HIGH” power mode. Locks will maintain an active cellular connection during weekday daytime hours when the bikes are used.

In this use case, customers can rent bicycles from a bike shop. The bicycle provided to the customer will include the LEO 2 Pro lock, which allows the customer to lock up the bike while they are on their rental. A Tethersense chain could be provided to the customer which allows them to lock up the bike to a bike rack.
The following configurations would be used in this scenario:
Option 1: Unlock bikes using bluetooth - Customers will use a mobile app to lock and unlock the bike using bluetooth.
Option 2: Unlock bikes using Smart Fob - Customers will be provided a Smart Fob which allows customers to lock and unlock the bike without a mobile phone.
Ride tracking enabled - Allows the bike shop personnel to know where the customer is riding.
Location updates when locking and unlocking
Theft tracking enabled
Daily Location Updates
A similar use case to the rental bike shop is an office bike fleet, where bikes are stored in an office and can be used by employees.
In this use case, bikes are locked up to designated bike racks located in various locations inside a city. Users can unlock a bike, and then ride a bike to another location with a designated bike rack. A Tethersense chain is permanently affixed to the bike rack, and users can lock up bikes to the bike rack by connecting the Tethersense chain to the LEO 2 Pro.
The following configurations would be used in this scenario:
Option 1: Unlock bikes using bluetooth - Users will open a mobile app that will unlock bikes using bluetooth.
Option 2: Unlock bikes using cellular - Users will open a mobile app that will unlock bikes using cellular. This will require the “HIGH” power mode. Locks will maintain an active cellular connection at all hours when the bikes are used.
Ride tracking disabled

In this use case, bikes are locked up to undesignated bike racks in various locations inside a city. The Tethersense chain is used to affix a bike to the bike rack, and the user carries the Tethersense chain with them on their ride. Once the user has completed their rental, they can lock up the bike by connecting the Tethersense chain to any bike rack.
The following configurations would be used in this scenario:
Cellular connected at all times - The power mode is set to “HIGH”. This allows the lock to stay connected to the cellular network at all times. The user will open a mobile app that will unlock bikes using cellular.
Ride tracking enabled
Location updates when starting and ending trips
Theft tracking enabled
Daily Location Updates
In this use case, users have unlimited access to a single bike at any time. Users can unlock a bike using the Smart Fob. The user also has access to a mobile app which allows them to unlock the bike using their phone whenever the Smart Fob is not available.
The following configurations would be used in this scenario:
Location updates when starting and ending trips
Ride tracking disabled
Theft tracking enabled
