Kryptonite Evolution 1090 Bike Chain Lock, 3 Feet Long 10mm Steel Maximum Security Anti-Theft Chain with Keys, Sold Secure Gold Heavy-Duty Protection for E-Bikes, Motorcycles & Outdoor Gear

Securing e-bikes has always been a concern, given their increasing popularity and cost. The Kryptonite Evolution 1090 has truly lived up to its reputation as a reliable defense against bike theft, justifying my initial apprehensions about e-bike security. The build quality is superb, reminiscent of a fortified tank, providing impressive protection to whatever it is latched onto. My confidence in this product was so high that I purchased a second one for my other bike. Such is the assurance that Kryptonite Evolution 1090 offers, making it an essential purchase for those concerned about the security of their bikes. However, it's important to note a couple of drawbacks. One being the weight of the lock. It is significantly heavy, which is not surprising considering the high level of security it provides, but can be inconvenient during rides. When wrapped around the middle of my bike, it certainly adds an extra burden that some might find off-putting. The second drawback is the time it takes to lock up due to the required multiple wraps around the bike. This can be a minor annoyance for those in a hurry or those who lock and unlock their bikes frequently throughout the day. Despite these downsides, the Kryptonite Evolution 1090 is a solid investment if your primary concern is bike security. It's an insurance against theft that brings peace of mind, especially for high-value e-bikes. Just be prepared for the additional weight and a bit of extra time spent securing your bike. If you can overlook these minor inconveniences, you'll find this product to be a reliable guardian for your valuable ride.

Incredible lock. Plus I love you can add a 1 or 2 year bike protection plan if your bike were to get stolen due to the lock failing. Level of coverage is determined by the rating of the lock you purchase. This lock has an 8/10 rating and covers up to $3000 toward your bike. These locks are very heavy so it will add weight to your ride but I feel more secure using this lock instead of my old cable lock.

This lock is the bike equivalent of a bodyguard. It’s hefty, solid, and clearly tells would-be thieves: “Not today, buddy.” I’ve used cheaper locks in the past and always had that tiny panic in the back of my head. With this one, I actually feel like I could leave my bike outside a coffee shop and go back an hour later without a second thought. It’s not light, and you’ll feel it in your backpack, but that’s the price you pay for peace of mind. Easy to use, durable, and so sturdy it probably doubles as an emergency club if you really need it.

I feel quite secure when I lock my E Bike up with this easy to use flexible and durabile lock. The design is such that the link size is huge making it a big deal for someone to try to break it. It is heavy weight and I find it a great option for the price

This is a good chain lock from a reputable company that has a great reputation and stands by its products. Pros: good build quality, thick chain links, protective layers on most of the chain, hard to pick the lock mechanism, company website offers a key registry program and a theft assurance program.(can’t call it insurance because it’s not🤷‍♂️) Cons: this chain is Heavy! Make sure this chain is practical for its purpose. I got it for my 120lbs+ dual motor, e-bike with 3 batteries. So it’s practical for me but even I feel the weight affecting my ride nonetheless. The locking mechanism is complex and delicate so you need to make sure you lock and unlock the the chain properly. Always make sure the key goes in all the way in and never force the key because you will damage the mechanism. And lastly I’ve read that the assurance program that says it will give you money if their lock fails in a theft but I’ve read that it’s only for bikes that are already insured and it’s in the fine print.. which i myself cannot find. Conclusion: this is a good lock, it will deter most thieves during short to moderate lock up durations even in high crime areas. I feel totally confident leaving my desired e-bike locked in NYC for 5-30 minutes. No lock is theft proof but this one is one hell of a deterrent. I’m overall happy with my purchase and recommend this product

This is the first big investment in securing my bike. I am using this on a $210 Huffy so I feel like this lock being almost half the value of the bike makes sense, and the build quality of the look seems pretty good. That said I will not be truly putting it to the test, and I hope it is never tested by any would be bike thieves. As for the function well it comes with two keys one has a small blue LED to light it up in the dark. I am going to say right now mine didn't really work so I removed the LED for a project, and the key does key things:P As for the lock its self. Well it weighs around 6lbs or double my $17 Kryptonite lock. The chain is a lot thicker than said lock, and the lock has a much better shackle/locking lug. There are pros and cons to that. the main one is you have to unlock the lock before you can lock the chain in place, or you have to leave the key in as you feed the chain through the bike rack. The cheap model you just shove the chain in while the lock is in the lock position and you're good to go. That said I'll take the slightly clunky nature of the evolution series 4 any day for the security it adds. All in all I'd say if you need a nice lock pick this one up. it is heavy, and clunky at times, but you have to ask if your investment into your bike is worth it. For me it was a no brainer since I use my bike as my primary transportation, and I'd rather spend $90 for a nice lock than $210 for a replacement bike. My other complaint would be this before I forget. this lock isn't super long so it only really works on one bike so riding partners will need their own lock, and the main thing that this only really fits bike racks, or thinner objects it wouldn't fit around a tree or street light for example, or at least I haven't been able to make that work.

Heavy‑Duty Chain Lock That Makes Thieves Work for It The Kryptonite Evolution Mini chain lock uses 10 mm hardened, six‑sided steel links and a reinforced oval lock head, giving it serious resistance to bolt cutters and leverage attacks for bikes, scooters, gates, or fences. The 3‑ft length is enough to secure a frame and fixed object while staying compact and portable, and the nylon sleeve helps prevent scratching whatever you lock up. It includes high‑security keys and is Sold Secure Gold rated, making it suitable for higher‑risk areas where you want a lock that will really slow a thief down.

Excelente Producto.

Nobody's gonna get my ebike now with this monster locking it up! This thing is HEAVY but the lock is smooth and fast to open and close. I registered it to get the $3,000 insurance that is available through Kryptonite.

E-bike

Heavy and safe lock, I'm using it as an additional lock for my motorbike, it's good and intimidating for anyone with bad intentions.

ロックが丈夫そう

Wygląda bardzo solidnie. Przypadkowa osoba z pewnością go nie pokona. Niestety, jest dosyć ciężki dlatego zdecydowałem się na zwrot i zakup innego produktu tego samego producenta.
