I have a couple kryptonite locks, most often use an Abus 6500. Just going by memory kryptonite requires you to register the bike, provide receipt for bike and lock. For any reimbursement they require the lock to prove it was defeated and I think a police report. One problem for many is often the lock is gone with the thief. And I believe the policy is only free for a year. For longer coverage they charge a fee.
I designed a landscape for a Las Vegas resident. Ray created the kryptonite ulock. A majority of his profits and windfall came from the purchase of theft coverage. Very few could meet all the requirements for reimbursement.
That was in the back of my mind
Looks like most "not hooked to the bike battery" alarms are 110db.
Phoenix ! What bikes did U end up with?
and it is not that loud. because that sound level is about 1 foot from the device.
Ride1up 500 for me and Espin Flow for my wife. Very satisfied with both. I would have ordered the Ride1up 500 step thru for my wife, but it was not available at the time.
Did you verify that the sound level is not that loud? Reviews say that it is quite loud.
This is similar to the ones I use. I actually found two for $25 and yes they are irritatingly loud and sensitive. I have a Abus frame lock and was considering what to get for a third lock ( I also have a cheap cable lock from many moons ago.)
Off subject. Did the monsoon affect you?
I just ran into this lock....seems like a winner to me. A little spend y but you can get phone or fob notification and GPS built in. no keys needed.
Oddly enough that could possibly prove to be a disincentive for a potential thief who wants to steal your ebike....providing said thief can read English or Spanish
