Bike lock device

Go to www.gadgetrocks.com to see a slick throttle/brake lock. Pick "gadgets" when you get on the home page. Then scroll to bottom. You non-dinosaur guys could fix a more direct link. Please!

If your in the UK. Great idea, not seen one before.

Strikes me as one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas.

Yep, I bought a bright yellow GripLock for my LIKE200I 4yrs ago.
Use it when parking in very public places. Just to keep it from being rolled away - like that guy did with the Vespa in front of that SoCal dealership. Rolled it right down the sidewalk.
Bought one for son's Honda & R6.
Have an alarmed, pagered, Bully wheel lock for more secure parking. (Used it when at the dentist - sadly no one touched my scoot - so visit went uninterrupted )

Reading the stories told by London scooter riders....I wouldn't even try to own a scooter there.

See! I knew someone on here could do a direct link! Snorvey and Lou get the prize! Thanks!

If you use it on a brake lever of a bike with disk brakes would having constant pressure on when it was locked be good for the calipers?  I rely on a front disc lock with a reminder cord.

The brake lock would be trivial to get around. Just loosen the bleeder. 

The disc lock would be slightly better, but wouldn't be that hard to remove either. Or just put the wheel on a skateboard or something similar.

Both are probably good as a deterrent for public theft, but then so is the fork lock.

After my first scooter got stolen I bought a heavy and expensive chain: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FL3EAM/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was "only" $60 at the time, though barely long enough to be useful.

Thankfully I live somewhere now where I trust people more -- hopefully correctly.

There's a video showing how many seconds it takes a cordless power tool to grind through various locks and chains. Actually,  I think it was a magazine article.
