The APIC code (Unique Bike Identifier) is essential for managing your equipment, though its purpose depends on your bike model and where you live.
What is the APIC code used for in the Mobility app?
For Bluetooth bikes, registering your APIC code in the app officially links your bike to your application.
Firmware Updates: This is its primary purpose. By registering your bike, you will be notified as soon as a software update is available to improve performance or fix bugs.
Is it mandatory? No, registration is not required to use the bike. However, without it, you will not be alerted when updates are available.
APIC and Theft Prevention
The use of the APIC number varies by country:
In France: In addition to the app, you can register this number on a dedicated national platform. This helps identify your bike and facilitates its return if it is stolen.
Outside France: Registering within the Decathlon Mobility app is currently the only use for the APIC number.
Special Case: LTE Bikes (LD940 E)
If you own an LD940 E, you do not need to worry about the APIC code for updates. These are automatic and seamless—the bike updates itself via its own network connection.
