A motivated thief can overcome all bicycle locks with the right tools, techniques, and time. OTTOLOCK offers adequate “Quick Stop” protection against many types of attacks – but not against all tools. <\/p>\n

The OTTOLOCK is a lightweight, compact and easy-to-carry solution to prevent casual theft. These include <\/span> short stops such as coffee, snack, or restroom breaks. After all, many stolen bikes are stolen when they are unlocked. The OTTOLOCK is a convenient locking option where weight plays virtually no role. <\/span><\/p>\n

In areas with a high crime rate or during long periods when your bike is not locked, we recommend securing your bike with a high-quality U-lock, such as the Side-Kick U-LOCK<\/a>. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How secure is the OTTOLOCK? Will it replace my U-lock? <\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We have tested the OTTOLOCK under many conditions, and have subjected it to extreme tensile, torsional, impact, and heat influences. You can watch several test videos on YouTube<\/a>. There you can see how the OTTOLOCK performs in the tests. An OTTOLOCK is better than a cable lock against standard theft tools such as bolt cutters or wire cutters. However, in the case of theft attempts with scissors, a hacksaw, or an angle grinder, a motivated thief can overcome the OTTOLOCK. It is essential to know that all locks can be overcome with the right tools, proper technique, and time. <\/p>\n

The OTTOLOCK is not a replacement for a U-lock, such as the Sidekick U-Lock<\/a>. For maximum security, you should use a redundant locking method with a U-lock<\/a> and a second lock.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
