"So You finally bought an electric bike. While some might look just like a regular, pedal-powered bike, your ebike probably has specific locking needs that you might not have anticipated, like thicker tubes or a funny-shaped frame. You don't need to worry about getting a super-light lock if you have a motor. And of course, even the cheapest new ebike is going to be a bit more expensive than the $50 beater you bought off the back of that guy's van in college."
"The biggest, baddest ebike locks will make any thief think twice. We spent years testing angle-grinder-resistant locks in a wide variety of styles and price points. This includes the highest-rated lock that Abus has to offer, the Abus Granit Super Extreme ($330), to the slightly lighter and cheaper OnGuard RockSolid ($230). We also explain security ratings and how to properly employ your new lock to help keep your ride safe."
Electric bikes often have thicker tubes and unusual frames that demand specially sized locks. Heavier, angle-grinder-resistant locks provide better protection than lightweight options, especially given ebikes' higher value. High-end options include the Abus Granit Super Extreme and OnGuard RockSolid across varying weights and prices. Security ratings and proper locking technique are critical to maximize theft deterrence. Honorable mentions include Hiplok D1000 for top security with a smaller shackle and Abus Ultra 410 as a lighter, cable-equipped option suitable for lower-risk environments. New products like Lectric Water Bottle lock and Ottolock Cinch expand portable choices.
