Turbo Como 4.0 Security

[Jenady]

I am curious what Como owners are using to lock their bikes.

I am considering the OnGuard RockSolid U lock but I am concerned about it fitting.

I appreciate any advice.

Abus and Kryptonite folding locks are a better go-to than a u-lock. They offer the same security but can be locked to a wider variety of things moreso than a u lock. Perhaps consider a chain loop style lock, especially if you've got panniers on the bike. Chains are the easiest to lock stuff up with and have some of the more secure locking systems. If you don't run a pannier or bike bag the folding locks have the best holders that come with them. They'll mount where you'd normally have your water bottle. Also they'll usually include a method to attach the holder on an area of the frame that doesn't have any bolts for mounting, if that makes sense.

We use on the Vado and the other E-Bikes a combination of a ringlock (which is mandatory for the insurance) and a secondary lock which is most cases is a chain lock or for a few bikes a folding lock. Pro for the chain locks is that they are more robust and easier to get around an object, con is the weight. The folding locks are easier to store on the bike (cause the come with a carrying case) and are easy to use, just a bit more fidly when to try to get it around a pole and through the frame.
