    1:57 how on earth do i get the plastic part off? You just gently take it off, with me its solid stuck. what the heck.

      Hi, use the Alan key to undo the bolt in the inside of the ubend, once that is completely out the black plastic should just fall off - you can then pull the plastic alarm out and there is a very small removable rubber protecting the charge connector. Hope this helps....

    It seems a bit awkward undoing the grub to charge the device every time. How's it working for you, long-term? Many thanks for the video!

      It's actually alright - the lock works great, feels really solid and it only needs a charge every 3 months which only takes 30 minutes or so to charge. I'm very happy with it and would but another if needed. Thanks for watching!

    I am struggling to understand the logic of using a charging battery instead of using the regular AA or AAA batteries 🤦

      The battery it uses is super small and using anything above coin batteries would make it much larger.... I still recommend it today

      @wonkeyjase I get that and you are a 100% right on that front but it renders the alarm useless after a few years when the battery dies.
      Personally, I like Abus's solution with replaceable batteries a lot more.

      @GTDpowah you are correct that maybe a year, two or three - the battery will definitely die (especially as it's out in the elements). I will say that the lock itself seems really good and even without the alarm part I feel that it's worth it. Now if you want a disc lock without an alarm - I've had a "on guard" disc lock that flipped my bike because I forgot it was on and it still works perfectly (the disc it was on bent completely along with the wheel!
