Almost no one uses their bike key without a keychain or keyring. Keychain for bikes may not seem an essential accessory but serves various purposes which we will discuss soon. Installing a keychain or keyring is easy and we will talk about that too.
Difference between a keychain and a keyring
Let us understand the difference in simple terms. The keyring is the metal circle which holds the key. It has a loop through which we pass the key and then the key cannot escape the loop. The keyring also holds the keychain.
Whereas, the keychain is the part that is dangling from the keyring. A keychain can have different structures, shapes, and colors but a keyring does not have many variations. They are metallic and have a steel color.
Let us now talk about 10 cool keychains which are available on Amazon and offline stores.

This is a keychain and can be attached to your keys or bags or wherever you like. It is small and lightweight. It has a GPS locator and you will be able to track your keys. Once you have paired it with your mobile, it will show you the location of the object it is attached to.
If the object goes further away from 300 m then once any other Tile Pro user is nearby, it will pick up the location and you will get it.
