How To Lock An E-Bike

Hiplok co-founder John Abrahams shares top tips for keeping your E-Bike secure. Expensive e-bikes are being targeted by bike thieves and good locks are just the start - think about where you are locking your electric bike and what you are locking your e-bike to.

I got a D1000 and x chain for my ebike. they are pricey and bit heavy but also give me the peace of mind to lock my bike in the streets of mexico

We decided not to park it anywhere but home. A mountain ride with kilo's extra on top of the already heavy Ebike spoils the fun.

I got the E-DX (110cm chain + DX shackle lock + Z LOK security tie) and a second Lock for my e mtb. I will carry the E-DX in a luggage carrier bag. I am happy

problem I have with this is, it cost just as much as my Ebike. about 60% - 70%, still better than sorry tho. x2 D-lock and a chain is an absolute must! a cheap alarm helps deter casual thieves too.

Drop the price, an then I'll buy.

Im curious why you would use rhe D1000 to lock thr frame and tire and rhe chain around the object at thr location instead of the other way around?

All those locks must be heavy to carry imo

I have a VESPA GTS300 Super Sport, What is the best way to lock it with HIPLOK, the D1000 does not fit over the wheels

can't find it anywhere to buy it though, it says sold out all the time if I do find it. Where can I buy this in Canada?

A savvy thief would simply cut through the bike rack, take the bikes home and cut through the tough locks in pizza and quiet. ;-)

Which one of these locks are good for electric scooter like Apollo pro ??

Assuming that's a 10mm chain, then that's going to be running around six pounds with the large padlock. Assuming the D-1000 weighs the same as the Krypto (yellow) New York U-lock, then that's four pounds. So ten full pounds for both. Don't you think that's a bit much to be hauling around in a pack? I use either the U-lock and a smaller chain lock, or a larger chain lock and a cable with padlock. In one case it's about 7.5 lbs. and in one case it's 6.5 lbs.

If only your locks were remotely market competitive in price to your competitors.
