The TK08A Motorcycle GPS Tracker from a proven device family is a compact, hard-wired GPS tracker engineered for motorcycles, electric bikes, scooters and small vehicles. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the TK08A delivers reliable real-time tracking via GSM/GPRS and GPS satellites so fleet managers and owners can monitor location, speed and status through SMS, a web platform or a mobile app. With integrated anti-theft immobilizer capability and a wide working voltage range, this tracker is particularly well suited to mixed fleets, e-bike operations and motorcycle security projects.
Designed for practical deployments, the TK08A combines essential telemetry — ignition (ACC) status, vibration and speed alarms, power-cut detection and short backup reporting on its internal Li-Polymer battery — with compact dimensions and low standby consumption. Its feature set supports fleet management workflows, anti-theft immobilization, workshop monitoring and insurance telematics while integrating smoothly with Plaspy to provide actionable alerts, historical routes and configurable reports.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible real-time tracking via GPRS or SMS for live location and history.
- Remote engine disable (fuel/electricity cut-off) for robust anti-theft protection and immobilizer control.
- Wide input voltage support (selectable 9–36 VDC or 9–90 VDC) for motorcycles, e-bikes and a range of vehicle types.
- Comprehensive alarm suite: geo-fence, overspeed, ACC-on, vibration and power-cut alarms with angle-change uploads.
- Built-in GSM/GPS antennas and a 200 mAh backup Li-Polymer battery to detect power loss and send short-term reports.
- Low power consumption in standby (5 mA ~ 50 mA) plus power-saving parking modes to extend device uptime.
- On-board memory for up to 1,400 positions when GSM is unavailable, automatically uploading stored data when communications resume.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the TK08A with Plaspy provides continuous position and telemetry feeds that are usable in dashboards, alerts and automated reports. The device sends location and event data by GPRS (TCP/IP) or SMS to Plaspy, enabling immediate monitoring, geo-fence enforcement and historical route reconstruction. When cellular coverage is interrupted the tracker buffers locations locally and uploads them to Plaspy once the connection is restored, preserving data continuity for fleet management and insurance telematics.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS (TCP/IP) or SMS to Plaspy.
- Ignition (ACC) status reporting for accurate trip starts/stops and driver behavior analysis.
- Remote immobilizer (engine disable / electricity cut-off) controlled through Plaspy for anti-theft response.
- Power-cut alarm and short-term reporting on internal backup battery to detect tampering and provide continuity.
- G-sensor/vibration and angle-change uploads for collision detection, theft attempts and parking movement alerts.
- Stored positions (up to 1,400) buffered during GSM outages and uploaded to Plaspy when online.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The TK08A is a dependable, cost-effective option when you need a compact GPS tracker that integrates cleanly with Plaspy for real-time tracking, telemetry and anti-theft controls. Its wide voltage compatibility reduces installation complexity across motorcycles, e-bikes and light vehicles, while built-in antennas and a backup Li-Polymer battery make it resilient to power tampering. Combined with Plaspy, the TK08A enables remote immobilizer control, configurable geo-fences and automated alerts — providing fleet managers and security teams with the telemetry and control they need without added hardware bulk.
For deployments that demand reliable location accuracy, event buffering during GSM outages and straightforward firmware/configuration options (USB, SMS, GPRS), the TK08A paired with Plaspy offers an efficient path to scale tracking, anti-theft and operational monitoring across mixed vehicle fleets.
Set Up TK08A
Use with a tracker
-
Set the Operator APN
