Does look interesting..await reviews

Looks on the short side and a bit difficult to store.

Nice to see an alternative way of tackling the problem though.

Looks great, no problem with length as you can couple them together and I don't see why they wouldn't produce them in different lengths.
Got to be better than carrying over 5kg of locks around like we do at the moment.

Price not too bad either, £80 each or £155 for 2, hopefully will reduce once they start selling a few.

Just got a reply from them, late Feb for delivery.

Looks interesting, the only thing I worry about these days with bike locks is their resistance to cordless angle grinders, never saw one used in the vid, maybe a layer of ballistic nylon as used in chainsaw pants would see off that threat ?

Looks like a great bit of kit, the lack of weight must be good for payload. Bit pricy for me just yet but I do like it.

I assume that includes a bike.

depends on the value of your bike..

rule of thumb.. spend at least 10% of the value of your bike on security ..

high end e bike costing £2.5k .. £80 is cheap for a lock

low cost bike at £100 ... cheap lock does... as no one will nick it ..


looks good.. and as Lenny said.. if it saves carrying a ton of chain around it would be GVFM

Yes I agree! I have an "ugly Ebike" so it would be worth it or perhaps not no one will nick it anyway!!Ps hope your appointment goes ok this week.

The lock I use at the moment cost more than that.

If you have an expensive bike you would be a bit of a plonker to leave it in a place where someone attacking it with an angle grinder wouldn't draw attention.
Any lock or alarm is only a deterrent if they really want it they will get it.

We locked Val's Kalkhoff up on a street in Bowness on Windermere last year with an expensive braided steel cable type lock when we were out for an evening meal. When we came to unlock it, the key would turn, but it wouldn't unlock. We had to leave the bike overnight and go for it the next morning armed with the contents of the man drawer. Tried WD40 and the spare key but I had to cut the plastic sheathing off then nibble through each strand of cable, one at a time. Took me over twenty minutes to get through it and not once did anyone question our motives

hope it has good lights

 

[Lenny HB]

Impressive might have to buy a couple, would like to see some info on the lock.

 

[pappajohn]

That bloke in the video is soft in't head.

Googles mask and ear defenders using a hacksaw but nothing more than glasses using an angle grinder.

But what someone said on video " If the lock is to hard to cut, just cut what it's fastened to."

 

[Anthea M]

My OH has looked at it but said would thieves go for the weakest part which would be the lock as the strap looks hard to damage??

Err..a lamp post?

Worth emailing them, I got a swift reply and they have already spotted our trail of posts.

I forgot the GoldSecure came up on their site, good enough for me. Not available until end of Feb, we are away mid Feb until mid April will have another look when we get back.

Perhaps they would like to offer Funsters a special deal/discount?!

Funny you should say that I told them I posted here and my next tack will be ...... Cost!

We are also away when they are to be released, they did offer to hold one back . I am thinking of purchasing when I get back if stock is not showing before we leave.

I bet if we had lots of guaranteed orders we might get some offer .

I can try.

I lost my mini car keys in the Arndale Centre in Manchester, came back equipped to sort it, hacksawed off the steering lock in broad daylight and drove off. No-one batted an eyelid.

Will have to order some when they are released
