I put mine on the backside of my seat post. 4 black zip ties later. I have a Mini Step Thru 2. Moved my Rad Saddle Bag under my rear rack between the fender and rack. 😀

Good information Russ, 2 locks, plus an alarm. You might also want to use a bike cover, so the thief can't get a good look at your bike, the lock(s) or the accessories.

I just bought the 110 cm version and had no problem installing it through the rear wheel and the frame of my new STROMER ST1 bike. I do agree that it is a sharp learning curve when you first got it it can be daunting just trying to unlock the thing but with practice I'm sure that I'll be able to avoid being out in public and have people laugh at me while it takes 15 minutes for me to try to lock up my bike lol. Still it was a wise investment and I'm sure it will help keep my bike safe even though I'm not going to be more than 30 ft away from it at all times lol. Thank you for your video it was informative and positive. -a newly-minted, high-end e-bike lover in rainy Vancouver British Columbia

Sounds weird but I find the ebst thng to do is the locks like you have and then just a cover over you bike works wonders. Out of site out of mind. People have no clue whats under there and would have to inspect it closer. They don't know if its a 20 dollar bnike r a $5000 moped. They're more likely to just skip it and go for an easier target.

Russ, This whole lock thing is insane, I wish there were no thieves, but I like the alarm to draw attention. Have you ever asked people to watch your bike but still locked it up just as a friendly community?

for your Canadian viewers, Radrover6 bikes are currently $350 off.

I'm a double locker. Abus Granite 6500 110 and a Kryptonight u lock with x long cable. The Abus is for the frame to an object and the u lock is for the rear wheel to the frame with the long cable to the front wheel and u lock. 😀

Good video Russ, and I enjoy watching your videos. Abus folding lock, well, I think you may end up being disappointed in that it is not real secure (no lock is really, given that a this has enough time). If you use this in conjunction with your chain lock - no worries.. I just got a Trek E-Bike and was going through the dilemma of what to get. LBS wanted over $200 for an Abus folder, and I just was not overly impressed with it. I ended up upgrading from a silver Kryptonite U lock to a Abus Granit 540 X-Plus. I think the length gives better options for securing to objects (same as your chain). I also have an Abus frame lock, so basically using two locks, somewhat better security, but not guaranteed. Its really sad that we have arrived at this point in time in society. Also, got a Krptonite Evolution chain lock to use when transporting bikes in my Thule rack while traveling. Keep the videos coming for us "older" folks...

Thanks for Helping the economy out, we need good consumers. I think the abus lock along with others for line of site so it slows thief down enough so you can get to it before he rides off. I'm sure in some areas lock would be good, major metropolitan your just slowing down the enviable. I think most riding is were your with your bike 100 percent of the time.

Kohlburg U-Lock has an inside diameter of 4.13" × 11" and 14mm Hardend Special Steel and lock is drill and pick resistant that you maybe able to secure your wheels with or lock up to certain types of bike racks

With my standard rad battery I'm worried about someone stealing the battery. Etsy has a rad power master key that works on all bikes. I would never leave the $battery on the bike for very long in public places.

Great video-may I ask where you got the basket withthe bottle holder?

👍🏻

Hi. Help me pls. Abus granit 6500/110 or Kryptonite evolution 790/90? For e-bike bezior xf200

Appreicate the chat Russ. Yes, my head has been spinning in circles thinking about bike security. Any particular alarm you recommend? Also have you considered Velosurance? They look pretty dialed in to the e-bike scene. Around $10/month for a $2000 bike. Of course depends upon your location. Downtown Chicago it would probably cost you $100/month for insurance! LOL!

you should buy the Abus Bordo 6000 which has an alarm. Why did you buy a separate alarm?

Even with a tire lock thry can always carry the bike out and put it in back of a truck within seconds

Tracking devices are a waste. In Tacoma WA the TPD will do nothing
