Theftsight vs Bike Registrada
Brazil's best-known voluntary bike registry with a theft insurance upsell vs continuous marketplace monitoring that comes looking for your bike.
Bike Registrada Bike Registrada is Brazil's best-known national cyclist and bike registry: you register make, model, colour and serial, and can flip a bike to 'stolen' to raise a public alert anyone can check before buying used. Unusually, it also sells bike-theft insurance. It's a registry + alert + insurance product — recovery still depends on the community spotting the bike, which is the gap Theftsight's automated watch fills.
| Capability | Bike Registrada | Theftsight |
|---|---|---|
| Core model | Voluntary registry + stolen flag + public serial verification | Continuous marketplace watch + confidence-scored match alerts |
| Marketplace scanning | None — relies on the community spotting the bike/listing | Automated matching on OLX, Mercado Livre & Facebook Marketplace |
| Police | No formal integration; you file your own boletim de ocorrência | Operator-reviewed candidates + a proof pack an officer can act on |
| Insurers | Sells its own bike-theft insurance | Written-off claim recovery network (success-fee path) |
| Coverage | National (Brazil); bikes | Bikes & serial-numbered gear; Australia-first, expanding globally |
Where Bike Registrada is strong
- Strong brand recognition as the de-facto national cyclist registry in Brazil.
- Bundles actual bike-theft insurance, not just registration.
- Free public serial verification that helps deter the used-bike black market.
Where Theftsight is built to win
