Pebblebee's $39.99 LÔC8 Tracker Hides Inside Bikes and Golf Clubs

Pebblebee has launched a Bluetooth tracker built to disappear inside the things a normal tag can't fit. The LÔC8 is a pin-shaped tracker that slides into cylindrical gear — bike frames, golf club shafts, ski poles — and it sells for $39.99, discounted from a $44.99 list price, directly through Pebblebee's website.

Unlike a keychain tag you clip on and see, LÔC8 is meant to go in and stay hidden, so a stolen bike or a swiped set of clubs can still be tracked even after whoever took it strips off the obvious trackers.

What makes it different from an AirTag or a Find Hub tag

Most Bluetooth trackers are flat discs sized to clip onto a keyring or slip into a wallet pocket. LÔC8 is built as a narrow cylinder specifically so it can slide down a shaft-like cavity — the inside of a bike's handlebar or frame tube, or the shaft of a golf club — and stay out of sight and out of reach.

Pebblebee ships two rubber sleeves sized for different mountain bike handlebar diameters with the single-pack version, so the tracker can be wedged in snugly rather than rattling loose. A four-pack aimed at golf bags is also available, pitched at players who want every club in the set covered rather than just one.

Battery life and how tracking works

The tracker runs on a replaceable, non-rechargeable ER10250 cell rated for up to three years, depending on how often it's pinged and the conditions it's stored in. That is a deliberate trade-off: because the tracker is meant to be installed once and forgotten, Pebblebee skipped a rechargeable battery that would eventually need the item pulled apart again.

Setup asks which network to join — Apple's Find My for iPhone owners or Google's Find Hub for Android — and from there LÔC8 rides on whichever crowdsourced network matches your phone. Pebblebee lists a direct Bluetooth range of roughly 500 feet, and beyond that, the last known location shows up whenever another Find My or Find Hub device on the network passes within range, the same way an AirTag or a Pixel Tag reports back after going out of Bluetooth reach.

Who this is actually for

Pebblebee is pitching LÔC8 at two groups with a common problem: expensive gear that's easy to grab and hard to trace once it's gone. Bike theft rarely gets solved once a frame is out of sight, and a lost or stolen golf club is usually gone for good. Embedding the tracker inside the equipment itself, rather than bolting on a visible tag, is meant to close that gap — a thief who spots and removes an obvious tracker won't necessarily find one hidden in the shaft.

It builds on ideas Pebblebee first showed off in prototype form at CES 2025, when the company said it was working with equipment makers to embed tracking hardware directly into products during manufacturing. LÔC8 is the retail version of that pitch, sold as an add-on kit rather than something baked in at the factory.

Price and where to buy it

• Single tracker: $39.99 (list price $44.99), for one bike, ski pole, or similar item
• Four-pack: aimed at golf bags, sold as a set to cover multiple clubs
• Availability: shipping now through Pebblebee's online store
• Compatibility: works with either Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, chosen during setup

Pebblebee has previously built trackers compatible with both major networks, and this isn't its first entry aimed at recovering stolen items — the company's earlier tags helped fuel wider interest in embedded trackers around the time Google's own Pixel Tag first leaked ahead of Find Hub's launch. If Find Hub's broader feature set is unfamiliar, it's also worth knowing the network recently picked up the ability to clean up old Bluetooth devices from your tracked list, which keeps a growing collection of tags like this one from cluttering the app.
