Whatever Happened To LINKA After Shark Tank?

Mohamed Mohamed left “Shark Tank” without a deal for his smart bike lock product, LINKA. However, that did little to stop the entrepreneur from taking his own ride to victory. 

Mohamed addressed the sharks’ concerns about the absence of a chain with the creation of the TetherSense plug-in system. TetherSense loops around any fixed object and attaches to the lock instantly. It comes in standard and heavy-duty varieties for different scenarios. The lock itself also got some updates. While the original product only connected to the accompanying app, the new and improved LEO 2 pro offers an advanced option. Along with tripling the LINKA’s battery life, LEO 2 has a GPS functioning feature, allowing users to find the location of their stolen bike within a three-mile radius. 

Additionally, they introduced other notable accessories such as a specialized motion key that provides encrypted access to the lock and a stylish saddle bag. The team also expanded, with around 20 global employees serving 68 countries from around the world by 2021. As of 2022, the product has an estimated annual revenue of $4 million and an estimated net worth of $4 million. 

LINKA remains active on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. While no major updates are on the horizon, Mohamed aims to expand LINKA’s reach throughout the field, saying in a 2021 update, “We’ll continue making our imprint in the micromobility market with the intention of seeing as many bikes as possible integrated with LINKA’s devices that serve the user’s needs.”
