Just wanted to say I enjoying your reviews you actually show people how to use things where other reviews they just talked about the product but they don't show how to use the product and the ups and downs thank you for all your hard work keep it up God bless
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for your comment. Sorry about the delay in the response, I missed it earlier and glad I found yours today.
I did not realize that Abus Bordo 6000 made a twin pack with one key operation, good input
It’s a great set! I love having 4 keys too. Now that I got my Blackbird, I only need one key for both bike locks.
Time is on my side.. the longer it takes to steal the bike the better chance of it not being stolen. I like a three-prong approach. D lock..chain lock..audible alarm..plus bonus hidden GPS...possibly disc break locks but keep in mind I always carry my battery and seat in with me. In most cases IMHO a thief will steal a bike much easier to grab.. and I know what you're thinking how long will all this take? Basically 2 minutes to lock and 2 minutes to unlock. Not a bad time frame for protecting my $2,000 investment. Oh and did I mention I have an anchor lock in my storage area?

Wow!I’m even more convinced that the Bordo is a great lock to carry around in my area. Someone would need to be super skilled to use that efficiently at a bike rack.
I just bought an e trike. The one issue I need to address thanks to your video is the racks. So before I do anything I need to scout the locations with my trike and determine what I am going to be facing.
I like the idea that you can combine two 🔐 locks, this make it more convenient for my sondors mxs since I have a huge battery Box in the middle bike.
That battery box would create a lot less frame areas to lock the ebike up. I imagine you'd have to use the rear wheel and rear fork areas to go around to lock it securely. ALL Fat tire bikes are so wide in that part of the bike the extra length is definitely going to be needed to get around that and a pole. Thanks for commenting!
Some really good advice here. I chose a chain lock that the lockpicking lawyer uses for his own bike.
I love the lock picking lawyer! That guy is amazing. Which chain and lock does he use?
@@EbikeProducts Kryptonite evolution 4 1090.
To me the best security is not to let the bike out of your sight.
I totally agree! When I ride to work, unfortunately I will need to leave it where I can't see it. Thankfully I work in a safe area and I can bring the bike in the building. I also just added an alarm to the bike as well (which I just posted a video for today) so hopefully I should be able to avoid having my ebikes stolen.
Thanks for the comment!
how do you go into grocery store then?
@@dks13827 It's a tough call, because if you are beyond the range of the alarm it will not notify you, and thieves work might fast.
@@dks13827 My local grocery store is safe enough to lock it out in front at the bike rack with the ABUS Bordo 6000 lock, BUT I do take my seat in with me and I have an alarm on the ebike as well. I also rush to do my shopping. I hear some grocery stores will allow you to walk in their stores with your ebike which I am tempted to try to see if I get asked to leave. Kyle from Bolton ebikes did a podcast on how he always walks around the store with his HUGE ebike and uses it like a shopping cart as he fills the side bags with stuff.
I think an ebike is about as large as a shopping cart and it makes sense that a store would allow you to walk around with it. I plan to ask the store management first to see what their take is on it with that explanation that my bike is very expensive and no larger than one of their shopping carts.
I would purchase this lock In a heartbeat. Ticks all the right boxes for me; need I say more? But nothing Is Invincible!
It's ironic that the YT result immediately above your video is titled "Abus Bordo 6100 - Easiest Folding Locks to Break!" with which -- even though I own 2 of these -- I fully agree.
Great video, helpful information.
400 to now at near 6000 subs. Thanks for your videos.
I just weld a lock on the scooter frame .
New Sub, thanks for your reviews. You do a great job.
Thanks for the sub and the kind words! I really appreciate it!
Nice, but yeah, these scumbags can be resourceful... just saw the video where a nut splitter broke the rivet on one of these.... great vid though as usual brother!
I saw that video too. Made me realize that nothing is really going to stop a determined and skilled thief so I will have to hope they're not carrying that kind of equipment like nut splitters or portable angle saws with them in my area. Sucks that we have to overload on security and still worry every minute we're away from our bikes.
you have a good lock there but the problem is, by looking at your bike on video you have a rather expensive suspension seatpost and seat with a hand tight seat clamp, a sure sign you are going to get them stolen.maybe you should put a tool tightened clamp on to protect them from theft.
Yeah, you noticed the dilemma I have. The seat and post cost about $80 and it only takes 2 seconds to steal it. I have a small security cable to be able to lock the seat and post from getting stolen, but sometimes if I am just doing a quick run in somewhere I either take the seat and post with me, or take a chance (depending on where I am) with leaving it unlocked. Thankfully, my area is pretty safe, but its always a risk for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Will the lock holster mount to the 2 factory bottle cage bolts on the 2.0 Step-thru and still be easy enough to get the lock in and out?
I believe there should be more than enough room as the clearance is more than the 1.0 version and I currently put my lock there now. I haven't mounted the holder on the 2.0 yet as I have it on another ebike now, but I think it's a great location.
The lockpickinglawyer broke one with a nut splitter pretty quick
Personally, I use Krytonite Forgetabboutit chain and bike alarm. The one featured on this channel isn't that bad either when you're not leaving your ebike out overnight. For quick trips, these locks are good enough most of the time.
Hey thanks, I like these tips, I wanted to know what is the link for the lock holder you have?
Glad you like the tips!

Any time you evaluate locking devices battery powered angle grinders should be considered. Motivated thieves will own one. I don't have the answer but as a retired design engineer I continue looking for answer.
Thanks for the reminder! I definitely should've mentioned angle grinders and how effective they are at compromising these locks. That being said, I also should've mentioned that overnight locking with these locks wouldn't be a good idea in places with high crime rate or where bike thieves would frequent (like college campuses). I have a bike alarm I will be installing and plan to make a video for it. When I do I will try to remember to mention those things (especially about the angle grinder) and anything else that comes to mind that one should think about regarding ebike security. I appreciate the comment and truly hope you find an answer that will help the ebike community keep their bikes safe!
Use two locks in one bike
Not related to the video but I do have question. How often do your spokes come loose, and how often do the rims need to be true?
What is the point in E bikes in the UK Blackouts possible energy who knows where high whatever happens not enough from the grid to supply its all BS ?
I tried a similar folding lock, but did not like the potential to scratch the bike.
Just curious, what did you end up getting? These locks have limited flexibility so frame rub is a concern but I can usually rub any marks out that the rubber coating leaves with my thumb. The fact that it does rub keeps me open to looking for something as convenient and secure. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@EbikeProducts I got a chain with combination lock. And today, I am getting a SOWUNO 125dB Loud Bicycle Electric Horn. This horn works with a normal button, AND with motion detection.
Honestly, for the first 12 minutes of this video I thought you were filming inside an optometrist's office. The curtains read a lot like "eyeglass displays" you see in the store.
Hi.. how did the locks work for you after 6months of use? I’m planning on getting the same thing for my ebike
I really like the locks and use them everyday as I need to keep my bikes locked in my garage. I love the compact size the most, but that small size means shorter a length lock and fat tire ebikes use up a lot of the length when I need to lock 2 ebikes in a small area. The locks also are limited by the joint movement to where it’s not flexible in multiple directions like a chain so sometimes that can be a challenge.
Even with those complaints, it’s the beat option for me and I’d buy them again. The compact size and the security they provide is worth the extra effort. I hate battling with finding places to hold U-locks and the bulkiness of chains. These things are hassle free a the ride if I don’t want to carry much except a key, cellphone, and wallet.
@@EbikeProducts have you tried to leave your bike when running quick errands like to a grocery store? If so, how many locks and what kind do you typically use? Do you still use the Abus Bordo too?
Where’s the links for cost less Amazon?
If you go to the product listing page on a computer here: amzn.to/34aelli
there is usually a link below the price that says "Available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free Prime shipping." It's not the easiest to see, but most of the ABUS Bordo locks have them.
You can't remove battery with out key
I bought two of this on my bike but the theif cut off both locks in just 3 minutes from cctv.
Sorry to hear that. If there’s a thief walking around with a portable angle saw that can do it in 3 minutes for both, there are few things that are going to stop him. I hear the huge/heavy kryptonite chain will take longer but even that is still not going to stop a determined thief. Have you heard of any security devices that can stop an angle saw?
GOD DAMMIT! I WISH I WATCHED THIS BEFORE MY SEAT WAS STOLEN! LOCKING THE SEAT WITH THAT OTHERWISE USELESS CABLE LOCK!!!!! DAMMIT! WHAT A GREAT IDEA! 70 to 80 smackers....yep, thats about what I paid to get a new lesser quality seat.
Oh man! I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. Hearing about that kind of stuff happening to people really makes me mad. Thieves suck...
Hitting some nails right on the head in this vid
How is that rated 10 if a bolt cutter can cut right through that🤦🏼♂️
With a grinder it will take 3 seconds to cut that lock. Dont he think crytonite U like are 20x better??
Have been watching for 15 min and you still haven't shown how to use the lock
Why can't we simply put the lock thru the spokes of the tire?
You could go through the rear wheel and spokes to lock your bike with a Lectric XP and be fairly secure as it would be difficult for a thief to take off the rear wheel quickly and run away with your bike. I wouldn't lock just the front wheel though as it is easier to remove and walk an ebike away rolling on the rear tire. Be sure to know your area. The longer the bike is left alone, the higher the chance of it getting stolen regardless of the type of lock or chain you use. It's sometimes harder to cut through a lock and chain when the frame is secured.
