Bike U Lock with Cable | Via Velo Heavy Duty Anti-Theft Bicycle U Lock Sold Secure Silver 15mm Shackle Inner Dim 9 x 4.5 in with 10mm x 6Ft Length Cable Security Lock for Bike Electric Bike Scooter

This locks is very suitable for my purposes. The price was right and the quality seems good. I like the fact that it is covered with a rubbery material that keeps it from scratching my bike. The mount for the bike is fine but its a bit of effort to get the cable secured with the lock in such a way that it does not interfere with riding. On my bike I have a basket and usually throw the lock in the basket in transit so this is not such a problem for me. We bought two of these locks. One for me and one for my partner. He dropped the key for his in the water beside our boat at the dock which means he is down to one key. I saw this lock on sale on Amazon the other day for about $20 but did not order another one like I should have. If it goes on sale again Ill get my partner another lock and use his old one to lock a shopping cart to the door handle of one of those people who take up two parking places to protect their beautiful cars from the unwashed masses. For this alternative application a spare key, or even one key, would not be necessary. Update October 9: As I mentioned above my partner dropped one of the keys for his lock into the water beside our boat. When the folks at Via Velo read my review they immediately contacted me for my mailing address and the key code. They shipped spare keys, from China, for his lock. They work fine. I had the new keys in less than a week so now we don't have to worry about breaking out the hacksaw if my partner dropped his remaining key in the drink. In the time since I wrote my original review I have used this lock dozens of times and when I lock my bike at the gym I look at the other bikes with the $100 locks on them and cant see the difference between those and my Via Velo lock. When you add to the quality of the product the obvious commitment to customer service this company has, I am enthusiastic about what other products these folks might offer.

Sturdy, 3 keys 🔑 and its cheap via velo is a great lock I've had the other one too its good lock for locking 🔒 a regular bike i wouldn't lock a ebike to this lock but any other like mountain bike would do

Very nice bike lock, I was even able to use it nicely without the cable. It’s easy to unlock, it’s thick enough to where a thief can’t cut it without significant effort (or more likely power tools). My only gripe is that the mount that this comes with to secure it to your bike when you’re not using it is very bulky. I have yet to find a bike that it fits onto without the lock ramming into some other part already on the bike while fitted. I’ve just been locking the bike lock when not in use, and hanging it on my handlebar.

Works well. It keeps my e-scooter secure while I go to class. It’s safe enough for an area such as a college campus. The thickness is fine and the key opens the lock smoothly.

If you're looking for a good, solid lock this ViaVelo is a great choice. It's tough, simple to lock and flexible to mount in several locations. You may want to try mounting the lock a couple of different ways to see which will work best for your bike and riding style. The instructions show mounting positions on the seat post, down tube and crossbar. You may find other spots that work depending on your bike's design. I think the mount works on most tubes between 20mm and 42mm. It can be a little tricky to install, so make sure to follow the directions to secure it properly. For me, the best option was mounting on the crossbar back toward the seat post. I thought there were fewer vibrations in that spot even on trail and city rides. The lock action is smooth and the keys do not jam. It also has an onboard cap to keep your locking mechanism dry when not in use. The cable is strong and just the right length to secure your bike without being too bulky to bring along on a ride. You may need to practice the best way to use the U-lock and cable to secure both wheels and your frame. There are videos online with some great ideas if you need help with that. After a full season of use, I did have a part break on the mount. So, I contacted customer service and they offered to send me a replacement straightaway. So, it's good to know on a purchase like this that the company is standing behind their product. Overall, this is a great lock for me and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another ViaVelo.

I’ve been using this lock for my e-scooter and it’s been very useful. It feels sturdy, works smoothly, and gives me peace of mind when parking. The cable is a nice bonus for securing the wheel. Great value for everyday use.

Great Product

Sturdy lock overall. I use it to keep my e-scooter secured while I’m inside at work, and it gives me peace of mind. I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality for the price. It feels solid and well made. You’d have to put in a lot of effort to break this lock. The sliding cover for the keyhole is also a nice touch and helps keep dirt and water out. For the price, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. No complaints so far.
