Lock Risk Checklist

Turn a parking situation into a conservative lock plan.

An electric bike locked to a sturdy city rack with a U-lock and chain near a bag holding removable lights and a helmet.

A lock strategy should change with stop duration, rack quality, visibility, accessories, and battery choices.

No lock makes a bike theft-proof. This checklist helps avoid casual mistakes.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose stop duration, rack quality, location visibility, lock plan, battery decision, and record readiness.
  2. Use the result to improve the stop or choose a different parking plan.

What the result means

Higher risk means more layers or a different stop.

For long stops, records, registration, insurance, and indoor parking may matter as much as hardware.

Assumptions and limitations

Local theft patterns, insurance rules, police reports, and registration programs vary.

Do not confront suspected thieves. Protect yourself first.
