Riding an e-bike in any major downtown during rush hour can feel very unsafe. The feeling is shared - whether you are riding the Light Electric Vehicle, driving a car, or are a pedestrian.
In consequence, cities worldwide are tightening regulations, requiring rental fleets to adopt safety technologies as a condition for operating permits. For fleet operators, compliance is now essential to maintain their business and avoid costly restrictions.
GEKOT Robotics has built the versatile safety technology solution that regulators now demand - detecting sidewalk use, warning riders, and slowing vehicles automatically - while giving operators the analytics to prove compliance.
Our configurable suite of controls, sensors, and software for light vehicles

detects risks in real time and initiates proactive interventions that prevent accidents and enforce compliance:
Terrain Detection – Differentiates between allowed and restricted surfaces (e.g., street vs. sidewalk) with high accuracy using IMU-based machine learning models. The system can warn riders and/or automatically reduce speed.
Reckless Riding Monitoring – Detects dangerous riding patterns such as abrupt swerving or excessive speed, then issues alerts and limits performance to reduce accident risk.
Theft/Abuse Monitoring – Identifies abnormal movement patterns when vehicles are parked, categorizing them as theft or misuse. Alerts can be sent instantly to fleet managers, with optional audible alarms.
Vehicle Localization – Tracks vehicle position without costly GPS by combining IMU data, WiFi positioning, and dead reckoning algorithms.
