Add GPS visibility to bikes that were never built with IoT.
Yabby Edge Cellular gives standard bikes a concealed, battery-powered tracking layer. Pair it with Levy Fleets and a separate lock workflow to bring legacy bikes onto the fleet map, monitor movement, trigger recovery workflows, and run operations from the same rental platform.
Works on bikes that have no built-in telematics or power source.
Uses Digital Matter's Location Engine and HTTPS JSON integration path.
Supports fleets where rider unlock lives in a separate lock stack.
Keeps tracker telemetry tied to Levy billing, support, and ops.

Architecture note
Yabby Edge is the tracker, not the lock.
It is best for visibility, recovery, battery health, and asset tracking on bikes that already rely on a separate lock or rider unlock flow.
Location methods
GNSS, Wi-Fi access point, and cell tower scanning for indoor and outdoor asset visibility.
Recovery mode
Switch a missing asset into a higher-attention tracking mode for retrieval.
Battery alerts
Battery low and battery critical flags make maintenance planning easier.
Retrofit-friendly install
No wiring harness or vehicle power is required to bring an asset online.
Before retrofit
Legacy bikes stay operationally invisible.
Operators lose sight of bikes once they are parked out in the field
Manual sweeps and rider phone calls become the fallback for missing assets
Tracker data, lock data, and rental operations sit in separate systems
There is no consistent battery-health or movement-alert workflow for legacy bikes
After Yabby Edge + Levy Fleets
The bike becomes a trackable fleet asset inside the same rental stack.
Each bike gets a persistent tracker-backed identity inside Levy Fleets
Location history and movement updates improve trip auditing and retrieval
Recovery mode and geofence alerts support missing-bike operations
Billing, support, and operator workflows still live in the same Levy platform
Platform capabilities
Yabby supplies the telemetry. Levy turns it into fleet operations.
This is the fit when you do not need a built-in vehicle controller on every bike, but you do need better visibility, recovery tooling, and a cleaner operating model around legacy hardware.
Battery-Powered Retrofit For Standard Bikes
Yabby Edge can be mounted to bikes that have no built-in telematics or vehicle power, which makes it useful for legacy fleets and mixed-brand deployments.
Location Visibility Inside Levy Fleets
Tracker positions, movement state, and location history can flow into the same Levy map and fleet record your team already uses for riders, pricing, and support.
Recovery Mode For Missing Assets
If a bike goes missing or ends up somewhere unexpected, the tracker can switch into recovery mode so operations has a better retrieval workflow.
Separate Lock Layer Compatible
Yabby Edge is the tracking layer, not the lock itself. It fits fleets that already use a separate Bluetooth or API-based lock workflow for rider unlock and relock.
Low-Battery And Device Health Monitoring
Battery flags, signal health, and tracker freshness give operators a clearer maintenance and exception queue than manual spot-checking bikes in the field.
Billing, Support, And Ops Stay Unified
Even when the tracker and lock come from different vendors, Levy still handles the rider app, wallet, pricing, support, and fleet operations in one platform.
Rental flow
Best for fleets that need the tracking layer next.
Unlike the OC33 story, this is not a single piece of lock hardware replacing the full control stack. It is a practical way to add tracker-backed visibility around a separate rider unlock flow.
01
Mount Yabby Edge On The Bike
Install the tracker discreetly on the frame, basket, cargo area, or accessory mount using screws, bolts, cable ties, rivets, or other retrofit-friendly hardware.
02
Forward Tracker Data Into Levy
Connect Digital Matter's Yabby Edge data feed to Levy Fleets through the Location Engine and HTTPS JSON workflow so each device maps to a fleet asset.
03
Keep Rider Unlock In Your Lock Flow
Use your separate BLE or lock-vendor workflow for app-based unlock while Levy ties that rider activity back to the tracker-backed bike record.
04
Run Retrieval And Support From One Dashboard
Operations can see movement history, last-known location, battery state, and recovery context without jumping between disconnected tracker and rental systems.
System design
Yabby is the tracker. Your lock layer handles unlock. Levy connects the experience.
Yabby Edge
Provides battery-powered tracking, movement detection, battery alerts, and recovery mode for bikes that otherwise have no telematics layer.
Separate Lock Workflow
Handles rider unlock and relock through the supported Bluetooth or lock-vendor path you choose for the fleet.
Levy Fleets
Connects rider identity, pricing, map visibility, support context, and operator workflows around those hardware layers.
Hardware fit
Yabby Edge is a retrofit tracker for bikes, not a direct lock controller.
The fit here is strong when you want discreet location tracking, battery-powered installation, and recovery tooling on legacy bikes. It is not the right choice if you need throttle control, direct ride-state hardware, or lock-only hardware in a single device.
Digital Matter
Yabby Edge Cellular
Long-life retrofit hardware
User-replaceable AAA batteries let the device run for years without any bike-side power connection.
Mount almost anywhere
Concealed install options matter when you want tracking without redesigning the frame or electronics on the bike.
Important integration note
Yabby Edge devices rely on Digital Matter's Location Engine and use an HTTPS JSON integration path. They do not provide speed or heading data, so they are best for visibility, retrieval, and asset telemetry rather than fine-grained vehicle control.
Connectivity
LTE-M and NB-IoT provide the low-power network profile Digital Matter uses for Yabby Edge Cellular devices.
Weather readiness
IP68 and IK06 ratings make it more practical for outdoor fleets that live on campus paths, resorts, neighborhoods, and shared bike storage areas.
Location solving
GNSS, Wi-Fi access point scanning, and cell tower scans improve indoor and outdoor visibility for hard-to-find fleet assets.
Remote management
Device Manager gives teams configuration, alerts, restart capability, and remote monitoring without physical access to every bike.

Battery flags
Low and critical battery states can feed maintenance and swap planning inside the fleet workflow.
Movement detection
Movement-based tracking makes more sense for rental bikes than passive daily heartbeats alone.
Fleet identity
Tracker records can stay tied to the same bike identity, rider record, and support history across the platform.
Ideal deployments
Use Yabby when you need the tracking layer, not a full hardware controller.
This is a strong pilot path for operators who already have bikes, already have a lock concept, and now need retrieval visibility, health monitoring, and a better way to manage legacy assets in one rental platform.
Bike and e-bike rental fleets that already use a separate Bluetooth lock
Hotels, resorts, and amenity fleets that need discreet tracker retrofits on legacy bikes
Mixed-brand rental programs where some bikes have no OEM IoT option
Cargo bike, pedal bike, and community fleets where retrieval risk is operationally expensive
Single platform outcome
Tracker telemetry, rider operations, and fleet support can all stay inside Levy even when the hardware stack is split across vendors.
