World’s first smart chain lock brings incredible durability and convenient security for your bike

Posted on by

Personal transportation devices such as e-scooters and e-bikes have joined bicycles and motorcycles as a popular means to get around places. Unfortunately, their popularity has also caught the attention of less-than-savory individuals who might have other plans for things that are not theirs. Making matters even worse is how traditional safety mechanisms like regular chains and padlocks haven’t been able to keep up with the times, let alone effectively protect your precious metal steed from more creative thieves. There are newer “smart locks” that offer convenience but fail to actually upgrade the protection itself. In order to truly protect your bike these days, you’ll need to upgrade your whole security strategy, which is what this innovative chain lock brings to the table, providing a smarter and better way to keep you from losing your precious property.

Your property can be insured when locked with the ART and Sold Secure certified* LASSO.

LASSO can withstand up to 2,100lb-f (9.5 kilonewtons) pull force. Good luck getting through that!

Every inch of the LINK LASSO is engineered to withstand any attack from different tools, including bolt cutters, hammers, and even hacksaws. The square manganese hardened steel chain provides toughness from within, while a 100% recyclable polyethylene sleeve protects the chain from the outside. The lock itself is protected by a corrosion-resistant stainless steel 304 frame. If it sounds like it’s built like a tank, it’s because it’s “obsessively engineered” to provide the utmost security for your bikes.

LASSO’s patented Quick Lock is fast. Lock and unlock in under 1 second.

Don’t worry if your phone battery dies. Simply enter your unique phoneless access code (PAC) into your LASSO and you’re back on the road in no time.

Despite all that toughness, locking and unlocking the LINKA LASSO couldn’t be easier and just takes under a second. Like most smart locks, you unlock it primarily with your phone, but you don’t have to fret if your phone dies even before you could get to your bike. Simply enter the Phoneless Access Code or PAC on the LASSO and you’ll be riding into the sunset in no time at all. Or you could opt to buy a SmartMotion Key (sold separately) to have a dedicated key to unlock the LASSO. The SmartMotion Key only broadcasts when it’s in motion, preventing any hacker-type spoofing attacks. Pairing a SmartMotion Key can extend the battery life of the LASSO from 3 to 12 months.

LASSO is IP 67 water & dust resistant. LASSO can be submersed under water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

The smart chain lock offers more peace of mind beyond durability and convenience. Its IP67 dust and water resistance rating means it will survive downpours and an accidental dip in a puddle. You can also share your access with family or friends through the LINKA mobile app even if you’re halfway around the world. But for those who try to take it without your permission, the LASSO will sound an alarm when it detects unwanted movement. Don’t worry about embarrassing moments, however, because Travel Mode deactivates the alarm to prevent it from getting triggered accidentally.

The LINKA LASSO is designed not just for bikes and scooters but can also lock kayaks, skis, and snowboards. The largest LASSO 10 Moto can even protect motorcycles, garage doors, and watersports equipment. LINKA is so confident in the chain lock’s durability that is generously giving a 5-year warranty with the LASSO. For just $139, you can get the LINKA LASSO Series 8 together with a SmartMotion Key, offering an unbeatable price to not only keep your bike safe but also give you peace of mind.

This stylish lock is the smartest and easiest way to keep your bike safe

Posted on by

Although they never really went out of fashion, non-electric bicycles have recently seen a surge in popularity. Perhaps it’s because of a renewed interest in fitness and health or as a counter-movement to the increasing popularity of e-scooters. Either way, it’s definitely encouraging to see more people of all ages discovering the joys and benefits of biking these days, whether it’s for commuting to work or just having fun. Unfortunately, that popularity might also bring about an increase in bike thefts, which translates to a growing need for bike locks. These are a dime a dozen, of course, but since we live in modern times, it’s only appropriate that the humble bike lock gets an upgrade, like this simple yet innovative keyless lock that makes securing your bike as simple as locking your car.

Bike locks come in all shapes and levels of complexity. Some are simple chains that you access with a traditional key. Others do try to be smarter and utilize a motor for hands-free operation. Both, however, come with their own disadvantages. Keys are easily lost, and motors easily break or lose battery quickly, leaving you unable to even use your bike. The LAAS Keyless O-Lock, in contrast, is so smart and so integrated into your bike you might even forget it wasn’t an original part of the bike in the first place.

Lock Manually – To avoid the use of a motor.

Unlock Through the App – Open the lock via your phone whenever you need.

On the outside, LAAS O-Lock is a simple ring that attaches to the bike’s frame and around the rear tire, making it blend seamlessly into your bike’s appearance. There are no motors inside, which means fewer parts that could potentially break or stop working, so you will have to manually lock the O-Lock. Unlocking it, however, is as simple as whipping out your phone and tapping a button in the app. It only takes three seconds to unlock the ring, and you can even do that while you’re still walking toward your bike.

Share LAAS Keys to Friends – Recipients don’t even need an account.

In addition to the ease of use, LAAS O-Lock also brings a convenience that you’d find in smart home locks these days. Since it can unlock using a smartphone app, you can easily share access to that lock with family and friends. Of course, it uses encryption technologies to ensure that only authorized people can unlock it. With no keys, however, you don’t have to worry about someone else losing or getting access to that key either.

Made from hardened stainless steel, the O-Lock is not only durable but also rust-free. It also looks handsome as well, easily blending with your bike’s design. The lock is trivial to install, and there are add-ons to make it fit any bike, as well as a chain that lets you secure your bike to a post.

For only $93, the LAAS Keyless O-Lock offers not only the smartest and most convenient way to unlock your bike but also some peace of mind knowing that your trusted two-wheeled metal steed is safe and secure all the time.

Never leave your bike-lock behind!

Not only does the Seatylock help secure your bike safely to any immovable object, it also ensures that even if the thief manages to break past the lock, they’re going to have absolutely the most painful time making a getaway with your bike because the Seatylock, aside from being a bike lock, is also the bike saddle!

This two-in-one design not only makes sure you always have your bike-lock handy, it also helps make theft so severely counter-intuitive, it’s less likely to happen. Made from weather-proof, as well as damage-proof materials, the Seatylock will resist pretty much all sorts of breakage with its drill-resistant construction… and will do so in any type of weather, come rain, sun, or snow. Aside from that, it means if someone ever manages to destroy your lock, they better have an extra saddle handy or it’s going to be a VERY uncomfortable case of grand theft if you know what I mean! Ouch!

Can’t Steal This Bike

Posted on by

Leglock is a very clever way of ensuring that no one steals your bicycle. It offers swift bicycle parking with its integrated stand-and-lock design. The thing is that you can lock the cycle in just one step: simply turn the stand down and set the integrated number lock.

  • The stand arcs down from its stowed position, unlike typical kickstands that rotate parallel to the wheel.
  • It stays upright during riding due to the angle at which it is mounted and the internal three-teeth gear mechanism.

The Foolproof Lock

Posted on by

My bike got stolen! Been there, done that; so the focus has to be on how do we stop these bicycle thieves from getting creative at picking locks? Simple, let’s make it a foolproof locking system. Which is why the Saddle Lock looks to be a superb solution. You can quickly lock the bike by pushing back the seat into the locking position and make a quick stop to get your coffee.

Saddle Lock provides a way to quickly lock the rear wheel without the need for additional locking accessories. The seat post swings down around the main frame when a button is pushed. The saddle features a cut-away shape that allows it to sit over the rear wheel. A combination lock allows the release of a special alloy rotating lock that extends from one end of the saddle to the other, securing its connection to the wheel.

Saddle Lock is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
