What is Reddit's opinion of Kryptonite New York Cinch Ring Security Chain (12mm x 75cm) withEVS4 Disc 14mm Shackle?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Oh, I didn't mean that the lock is easily picked. I meant it's easily broken, well, not "easily" just not as hard to break as would be preferable (especially at their price point).
I remember several amazon reviews and some on sporting good/cycling supply stores(I forget exactly what sites, I was browsing a LOT of sites looking at a lot of products), of people mentioning the lock failing under torsion/smashing. and I remember seeing a youtube video showing it happen.

That, and several sites with ratings/comparisons on locks tended to rate the tigr at equal or slightly lower security then good U-locks. (Product comparison articles that I found doing general research, not by directly searching tigr).

I went with the "New York Noose" lock, because I like the extra options the style of chain offers.

I use the Kryptonite New York Noose 1275 to lock up my Juiced CrossCurrent S. The lock is quite heavy but manageable. And it is a bit on the short side but long enough to get the job done. I also got the Kryptonite Anti-Theft Protection Offer. It cost $25 for 5 years of bike theft insurance.

I also got the GPS option when I bought the bike. It’s not super accurate but is generally good enough so that I’ll get a warning if the bike moves out of the geofence and can give a rough idea on where the bike is located

While writing this it just dawned on me that I have not received the geofence alert in a very long time. I checked and found that the GPS has not updated its location in months!! I need to figure out what is going on. I see some posts out there that the Trackimo devices were based on 2G mobile equipment which the carriers have apparently turned off. And it seems Juiced may be helping folks with that. I’m very glad you posted or I could have found myself in a position where the bike was stolen and the GPS didn’t work. Assuming the 2G thing is correct, I’m a bit disappointed that Juiced did not notify me.

I have pinhead wheel locks. I live and work in probably the second worst city in the US for bicycle theft. My bike is regularly locked up at public bike racks. I do not separately lock up my wheels, meaning that I do not thread my chain lock through my wheels.

So far (1 year and running), I have not had my bike or wheels stolen, and I have not yet seen evidence of attempts to steal my wheels.

I believe this is partially due to the pinhead locks. I live in a target-rich environment for bike thieves, and the pinheads are just enough of a barrier to overcome that they'd rather focus on looking for the next fool leaving quick-release wheels unsecured.

It also helps that I use the sort of lock that makes my bike even less appealing for a thief.

A bike and the bus pass included with tuition is enough to get you anywhere in the city. As it's been pointed out, UBC is on a high hill so take that into consideration when leaving campus by bike. Note that all buses have bike racks on them, so if you just can't make it up the hill, you can hop on a bus to make it the rest of the way.

The only thing I would ~~suggest~~ beg you to do is to invest in a very, very good bike lock or two. UBC is polluted with bike thieves who will pluck a bike from a rack in broad daylight. A good U-Lock, properly attached, may deter most thieves - but pairing it with a heavy duty chain lock (like this) will be much more secure - especially if you are on campus late at night. It may seem like overkill, but overkill is better than leaving class to realize your only mode of transportation was stolen out from under you.

If you use a cable lock, your bike won't last a month.

Something like this?

Hey OP, I was in your situation a few days ago looking for a good lock for this thing. I live on a college campus so I decided to go with something a little more secure. I ended up buying a Kryptonite New York 12mm x 75cm Cinch Ring Chain.

It's a little on the pricey side but I didn't want to cheap out on a lock for a scooter this nice, especially since I live on campus. So far I've had zero issues with it, and it seems incredibly sturdy. The cinch ring allows you to lock it up almost anywhere, while also leaving you the option to use it like a normal chain lock which I really like. Overall, would highly recommend. Here's a pic of how I lock up my max. I hope this helps.

Super73s are highly coveted by thieves, so get at least 2 locks for your bike.

I recommend the two that I have:

Kryptonite New York Cinch Chain (or any other Kryptonite Chain, ABUS has some good chains too)

and

ABUS Bordo Folding Lock

I recommend the larger 110cm Abus Bordo lock over the smaller 80cm.

For added security take the battery with you when you lock up the bike.

BONUS ITEM: Get this alarm for your bike too. Any thief who tries to fiddle with your bike will have to contend with this alarm blaring in their ear. I personally have this alarm for my Super73 and it is very loud. People will notice and you will likely hear the alarm too depending on how deep into the building you're in.

I use the kryptonite cinch chain to lock the frame of the bike to a sturdy object and I use the ABUS Bordo to lock the rear wheel to the frame of the bike to prevent someone from stealing the wheel with the motor.

More Bonus Items: consider buying pinhead locks to secure your front wheel. Doing this you won't need to buy another bulky lock to secure the front wheel. It will be secure on its own.

Also GPS Tracking for your bike

And a weatherproof cover to visually conceal your bike from thieves.

Do this and your bike will be virtually impregnable.

But if your bike still somehow gets stolen even with all this protection... well thats what bike insurance is for.

This is what I use when I leave it in my parking garage.

It's pretty beefy.
