Compact Strong Bike Lock
As bike or scooter owners, we want strong bike locks to secure our precious rides when we park on the streets.
Which is the best lock to secure your bike or electric scooter ?
These are the common types :
| Type | Advantage | Disadvantage |
| U-lock | Strongest and takes much time to defeat. | Usually can only lock up small areas of the bike (e.g. frame + 1 wheel). Typically heaviest. |
| Chain lock | Relatively tough. Flexible to lock up different parts of the bike with the same lock. (e.g. both wheels + bike frame). | Easily defeated by bolt cutter. |
| Cable lock | Flexible to lock up different parts of the bike with the same lock. (e.g. both wheels + bike frame). Smaller cable locks can be used to secure quick release saddles. Lightweight. | Easily defeated by bolt cutter. |
To be realistic, all bike locks can eventually be defeated.
It is a matter of how much effort and time.
Yet the stronger a lock, typically, also means it is heavier and bulky to carry around on our ride.
Is there a strong lock that is practical, compact and easy to carry around ?
