Solid lock, but tubular shank lock could be more secure
The manufacturer rates the security as 9 out of 10, whatever that means, because I didn't find anything about this in the FAQ on masterlock.eu. What does "passed safety test according to TNO category 2" mean in the product description? I haven't found any references to this, either on the packaging or online. However, I see the Sold Secure Bicycle Bronze rating from 2017, which does not necessarily speak for a secure lock. And according to LockPickingLawyer (video 355), 4 of the 10 pins are dummies, meaning only 6 need to be manipulated to pick the lock. And there is also no security against brute force (video 556, 609). I am therefore very surprised by the current high rating of 4.6 at Galaxus. For everyday use, the security is still sufficient for me to lock my scooter for a short time and protect it from being carried away, but not overnight in a public place. At least the handcuff design simplifies the attachment of this lock to a scooter in contrast to a folding lock, where there is often the danger that it can be unlooped by dismantling the wheel or handlebar.
Pro
- Massive
Contra
- Attention, not secure against theft; See commentary
Solid but difficult to use
You need a backpack to carry it. I hung it on the handlebars of my scooter and it damaged the handlebars, the speedometer screen and the vertical steering bar.
So it's almost impossible to transport. I'd need a special holder to transport it.
The lock is unpleasant and complicated to open, and there are two of them......Pro
- resistant
- price
Contra
- Very complicated to transport. Requires a rucksack.
- Complicated and unpleasant lock system.

Actually quite ok, but these special keys are the shit. Sometimes it's incredibly difficult to open these handcuffs and you can easily break the key or the lock...
Pro
- More difficult to lock through than normal locks
Contra
- Loud when you have it attached to your bike and are riding on cobblestones
- Heavy
- Lock mechanism (key) pure scrap
Good but ...
Pro
- very solid
- quite large diameter
Contra
- really heavy
- lock sometimes hooks
Absolutely useful
Pro
- Not to be cracked
Contra
- A little clunky.
Clamping keys
Pro
- Idea well realised
Contra

Good lock
I use it for my E-Trotti and I'm happy with it
Repellent
Pro
- Solid
Contra
- Bulky
Robust heavy-duty handcuff-shaped lock
The handcuff lock is very robust and weighs 1.5 kg. It is therefore not possible to "just take it with you" or only under difficult circumstances. It has to be firmly attached to the vehicle. On an e-scooter, this works well at the lower transition from the footboard to the handlebar fork and at the top of the handlebar fork. Opening with the key is intuitive.
Very satisfied so far
Lighter than I thought. Super lock, I would buy again.
With the key it is sometimes a bit fiddly to open the lock, but that is also sometimes the case with other locks.
The sticker with the company logo fell off after 5 minutes, but that doesn't bother anyone.Pro
- Long chain
- Stable
- High quality
Contra
- Key sometimes a bit fiddly
Master lock 8290 padlock
This is a very good anti-theft device, very strong and resistant to cuts and abrasions.
Pro
- Very good quality and price
Contra
- A little heavy for an electric scooter
Closes really well and looks dangerous!
Locks securely and "cool"! Is an eye-catcher. Great for scooters, also for bike frames on bars.
Pro
- Encloses bicycle frame
- ... hands and feet if necessary
Contra
- somewhat expensive
- heavy (must be)
Really solid and durable
After several months of use, and still outside, its appearance has not changed. Very practical for quick opening and closing. Its rubber coating won't scratch the frame or anything else.
Easy handling
Pro
- Protects the metal thanks to rubber
Contra
- Rubber unfortunately does not last very long
Perfect EScooter lock
Pro
- Stylish and stable
Contra
- A pin must be pressed in after clicking in otherwise it will not close
Unsuitable
Too massive, too heavy and absolutely unwieldy! How you can develop and sell something like this as a bicycle lock is completely beyond me.
Pro
- Certainly hard to crack
Contra
- Too big, too unwieldy, too heavy
Avoid - Scooter got stolen
Scooter was stolen today as the lock was cut - see picture.
Contra
- expensive
- Useless
- Heavy
Perfect for a scooter
You need to be aware that this padlock is really extremely heavy. If you want to travel light, forget about this padlock.
The diameter of the buckles on the padlock is quite large, but it has its limits, which means that you can't hang it everywhere - a standard sign will do.
Opening and closing the padlock is also very time-consuming, as you have to do it for both loops, and the key system isn't very practical.
But if you accept all these points, it's practical and suitable for electric scooters.Solid and easy to use
The top, simple to use, allows more possibilities than a standard cadana with the buckle. Very strong and dissuasive.
Pro
- Originality
- Solidity
- Easy
super practical
very solid and practical. It's an excellent anti-theft device for scooters.
Pro
- solid
Lock that can withstand anything
It's certainly very impressive when something like this is attached to the scooter.

Contra
- Very heavy

A lock that makes it difficult for thieves
A matching bracket would complement the lock perfectly.
Pro
- Very solid
- 4 keys included in the scope of delivery
- Should be very difficult to crack
Contra
- Very heavy
- Bulky
Great for my bike and scooter
Too heavy to be carried in a rucksack or at the bottom of a pannier, so I made a support for the 3D printer, to attach it to the water bottle holder on my bike.
Pro
- Easy to install
- Double use in my case
Contra
- No support adapted for the Velo
- Weight
Optimum security but very heavy
The weight of the lock around a scooter or bike can cause a child, in particular, to lose his or her balance.
On the other hand, security against theft is guaranteed.
