About us

Kiekert leads the industry with safety closure systems and drive units. Key Products include closure systems, solutions for powered doors and handle-free vehicle access, compact door actuators as well as e-mobility components.

At CES 2027, we are showcasing our next-generation Digital Motorcycle Key, bringing secure smartphone-based access technology to the two-wheeler market. The solution enables riders to unlock and start their motorcycle using their mobile device, eliminating the need for traditional keys while enhancing convenience, security, and usability.

Leveraging Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Near Field Communication (NFC) technologies, the system supports secure proximity-based access and seamless hands-free authentication. Riders can approach, unlock, and start their motorcycle without removing their smartphone from their pocket, delivering an intuitive and premium user experience. The solution is CCC-capable, supporting alignment with the Car Connectivity Consortium Digital Key ecosystem, and FiRa-ready, enabling future compatibility with emerging UWB interoperability standards.
