Originally made as a spare tire lock for pickups and SUVs, this is a fast deploying and easy to carry cable lock that's ideal for moto-travel. Although the thick 12mm cable and Ace cylinder lock does not provide the ultimate heart-of-darkness bank vault security, this lock is so easy to use it’s perfect for everyday lockups.
When traveling it can be quickly stored as a straight length of cable…it lays perfectly along-side your duffel or your bikes frame. Has an o-ring sealed lock mechanism that keeps moisture out of the internals.

Big heavy ugly chains.
For somewhere bad you need to leave your bike on a regular basis station a large, expensive hardened chain at-the-ready, around something. Just leave it. The heavier and uglier the better. Huge good quality hardened steel chains take a while to cut thru with a battery powered angle grinder. And this makes a fair amount of noise and sparks. (Bicyclists who need this level of security rely on hardened ‘U’ locks. About the same level of grinder-resistance in a semi-carry-able package, which unfortunately is pretty hard to work with on a motorcycle.)
Big fat ugly cables.
Not as good as a big ugly chain, but a lot lighter and easier to carry. They can be cut with either an angle grinder or bolt cutter fairly quickly, though.
Light and medium weight cables.
Pretty fast to deploy, easy(er) to carry, and enough to keep honest people honest. The precoiled bicycle types are a bit harder to thread through stuff compared to a straight cable, but lots of riders like them.
Folding bars.
A newish compromise. A bit harder to boltcutter snip than a cable of similar weight. And still cuttable with a grinder but again, plenty of sparks. Easier to carry than either a chain or a cable. More ‘threadable’ than a U lock. Maybe one of these will help you secure your scoot to a nearby trash can or street sign post?
