On Friday, January 19th, Jon reached out to us to share a harrowing experience regarding an attempted theft of his family's cargo bike in Hackney, specifically in the Stoke Newington area. The bike, valued at approximately £2,500, is not only a significant investment but also a crucial part of their daily life, serving as a means of transportation for their family.
"Just thought I say thank you! I have a LITELOK X1 securing our family cargo bike! Someone tried to angle grinder through, they took three large chunks out of the lock, but seemed to give up quite quickly!"
His account emphasizes the importance of using high-quality locks and the value of having reliable security measures in place.
It’s a sobering reminder of the challenges bike owners face, especially in urban areas where theft is unfortunately common. In Jon's case, the attempted theft could have been a complete loss if it weren't for the strength and durability of the LITELOK X1.
He mentioned that after this experience, they decided to enhance their bike security even further: "We’ve now swapped the majority of the family bike locks for it - we’ve purchased 3 of them in total!"
This proactive approach not only secures their cargo bike but also ensures that their other bikes are similarly protected.
The LITELOK X1 has proven to be an effective solution for securing bikes, particularly for families who rely on their bicycles for transportation. Its robust design can withstand significant force, making it a formidable barrier against potential thieves. Jon's experience underscores the necessity of investing in high-quality bike locks to safeguard against theft.
The LITELOK X1 is the ideal lock for securing your bike. To ensure you have the best locking solution we recommend a multi-layered locking approach.
