I think I've found the best place to hide a tracker on my Brompton: in its front carrier block!

It does require a Pebblebee Tag, as AirTag and Chipolo One are too big to fit. Just make sure to leave a space on top for the locking mechanism to fit.

Edit: I was told that AirTags fit as well, so I guess Motorola Moto Tag might fit too, as I believe they are roughly the size of AirTags.

@sanji @brompton I don't believe common thieves would stumble upon this or even be knowledgeable about Bromptons

@sanji @brompton: And what the picture does not show: There is usually a locking mechanism in that hole which will hide the tag probably quite well.

@axeleroy: Can you charge the Pebble Tag without disassembling the front block's locking mechanism? How long does one charge last?

@xtaran @sanji @brompton Yes, thanks for adding that bit of info I left out, I probably should edit with a picture of the assembled block.

I did not try, but the charging cable being as big as the tag should allow to charge it in place. It should last a year according to the constructor.
