Before y’all go out and buy one, be sure to look up videos from regular people cutting through the shackle or otherwise trying to defeat the lock.
I watched a guy do it with a single blade in two minutes. The author of the article mentions that no lock is undefeatable, and two minutes is impressive for a steel lock, but that’s still within the realm of possibilities for a thief, especially if your lucrative target is a motorcycle or ebike.
Do your due diligence when choosing a lock, and make sure you know what you’re buying.
My rules are: Minimum 2 locks. All valuables or critical components removed from bike. If it’s an ebike that means removing the battery and control unit if possible.

This is why I want to get a Skunklock Chemical: If someone is going to cut it they will have to suffer for it.
I had never heard of that until today. I’ll have to look into it!
Gotta get the skunk lock.
And if what you’re locking up is really valuable, maybe consider a 2nd lock.
