Stu Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forum It looks a simple enough design and concept Any freebies to give away to a couple of members to try if they are interested so they can review it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 You will have to consider the weight of the bike as a factor together with location. Usually disk lock is the preferred option for a short/medium duration stop. For overnight security then you will be talking about something more robust and that looks too hard to be tempered with as a deterrent like strong chains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Lock is studied mainly for short stops, but in the overnight time we suggest anyway to use more security device to avoid unpleasant surprises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Then if you have a bike that weights 300kg like mine and you live in Scotland where anything that heavy is not worth any trouble, then you just leave the bike without any security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Interesting idea, but it looks as though you will need a mounting bracket specific to each bike. Most locks tend to be generic and will fit many different bikes. How does that impact on development and production costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonio Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Slick web site. Tbh, I think the product works best for delivery guys: for them, the ease of setting the easylock might be a real win. But I doubt it would win people over who are leaving their bikes at work all day or outside all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I like the concept. The only thing I would be weary about is the lack of any warning that you're about to take off and you forgot to unlock the bike. Either a flashing LED at the front so you can't miss it that will link to the lock, or something that you will have to remove when unlocking the bike, this would also serve as deterrent to theft.

We always suggest for the stops overnight to put as many safety devices as possible! Anyway in any case, we already have testimonies of real videos that only with EasyBlock they did not manage to steal the bike because they did not understand what was blocking it.

Hi There, With EasyBlock you are going to receive a "reminder". That should avoid any kind of distraction because is going to be with the keys of the lock and the bike all the time.

husoi Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Do you wanna bet? When I had my Africa Twin I had the key for the disk lock together with the bike's key and that didn't stop me to try to take off with the lock on the wheel. That's why now I have the lock with the horrible yellow coil. Your system is good, although a bit expensive, but gets hidden under the muffler.

I hate keys jangling in the headstock during each and every journey. I have a very similar system on my ebike but 9 times out of 10 I don’t use it preferring a cable lock. My motorcycle insurance company insists on a SRA certified lock. Edited October 29, 2021 by DuRavary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianco2564 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 As with a disc lock, it will stop your bike been wheeled away but no defence against being picked up and thrown in the back of a van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
