looks like an interesting system...sweet justice if it leads to a recovery of a bike and capture of a thief. But, as the baddies catch on, I'm not sure of the long term utility of the SkyBike/Lamp...
There are several thing which make such product hard to be produced:
1. Battery - it is the main component on which depend how long the alarm will work without recharging and how loud will be the siren sound
2. Durability - how easy it can be damaged in order to stop it functioning
3. Waterproof
4. Alarm sound level
5. How it react - normal alarms work with shock sensor, but it is inapplicable for bike alarm
It seems that there is some attempt (i found recently on youtube) for production of new kind bike alarm -

Checked their site and the tech characteristics seems to be very good, but in my opinion the price is little bit higher.
