  1. Choose the right lock. The level of security you need depends on where you are leaving your bike, and for how long.
  2. Always lock your bike to a solid object that it cannot be lifted over
  3. Lock your bike in a well lit area with high foot traffic.
  4. Make sure what you lock your bike to cannot be cut
  5. Lock according to value frame first, then back wheel, and finally front wheel.
  6. Get a right fit! The less room inside of the u-lock or chain, the more difficult it will be for thieves to use their tools.
  7. Position your lock off the ground with the keyhole facing down.

Frame only u-lock or chain:

There may be an instance where due to either an oddly shaped locking structure, the size of your lock, or the size of your bike, where you are limited in what you are able to capture in your lockup. In this case the frame should be the priority of the lockup.

Frame AND REAR WHEEL u-lock OR CHAIN:

There may be an instance where due to either an oddly shaped locking structure, the size of your lock, or the size of your bike, where you are limited in what you are able to capture in your lockup. In this case the frame should be the priority of the lockup.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING FOLDING BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

THE LOCK

When locking a folding bike that has been folded, we typically recommend using a chain, long shackle u-lock, or a folding lock.  This will allow you to capture more components of the bike, often times the frame, rear, and front wheel along with the immovable object.

ACCESSORIES

Remember to remove any accessories like GPS units or lights before leaving your bike.

A CONTINUACIÓN APARECEN CONSEJOS ADICIONALES DE RECORDAR ESPECÍFICAMENTE PARA CUANDO ASEGURE BICICLETAS ELÉCTRICAS.

 

ANTIRROBOS YA INSTALADOS

Las bicicletas eléctrica varían drásticamente según el modelo. Al asegurar su bicicleta, asegúrese de asegurar cualquier mecanismo de protección instalado como el bloqueo ya instalado de la batería.

MONITORES

Muchas bicicletas eléctricas cuentan con un monitor o contador kilométrico Asegúrese de quitarlas si es posible, así como cualquier accesoria que se pueda retirar con facilidad antes de atar su bicicleta. 

BATERÍA

De ser posible y conveniente, retire su batería y llévesela con usted.

CADENAS

A menudo, es preferible utilizar una cadena al asegurar una bicicleta eléctrica. Un cadena proporciona flexibilidad para garantizar que podrá atar su marco y rueda, especialmente cuando su rueda contiene el motor eléctrica. 

PRACTICE PROPER LOCKING TECHNIQUES! WHILE A MOUNTAIN BIKE IS A UNIQUE STYLE OF BIKE, THE FOUNDATION OF PROPER LOCK-UPS STILL APPLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE TO COMMUTE.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING MOUNTAIN BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

ON THE TRAIL

When on a ride, carrying a heavier lock isn’t always an option.  It’s best to keep your bike in sight, and near you at all times when not riding.  Carrying a cable can be helpful, to attach your bike to an immovable object, or another mountain bike, to prevent grab and dash theft, but is only a deterrent.

ON THE TRAILER, BIKE RACK OR TRUCK BED

It is important to lock your bikes while in transport.  With some variation based on travel location, and duration of stop, we recommend using Ultimate Security products when possible.  Make sure to lock to the most immovable object available.  Installing a ground anchor, like the Stronghold, in the bed of a truck or trailer can work as a great immovable object.

AT HOME

Locking your bike at home is crucial, especially with high value mountain bikes. Garage doors are not as secure as you may believe and are easily violated.  We recommend an ultimate security lock to an immovable object.  A ground anchor like the Stronghold can work great as an immovable object.

SOCIAL

Be careful about sharing your riding schedule and bike on public social networks.  Thieves may use social riding apps to watch where a rider with an expensive bike, starts and ends their rides to pinpoint the location of where the bike is stored.  If possible, start and end your rides from varying locations.
