I need a good bike lock.

My new ebike comes soon and it's too expensive not to skimp on the lock

Its an ebike so ill obviously take the battery out.

Id be leaving it during day at work (believe they have a bike shed). But I'd also like to go on day trips with it.

Anyone got any recommendations?
 
Think I'm going to go for the abus folding (gold)
And a kryptonite D lock (silver)

I can (I've checked) use abus on the frame. And kryptonite in back pack.
Might be ok on short stops to just use abus and a lighter lock.
I'll use one on the front and one on the back and always remove my battery
From what I gather 2 decent locks is arguable better than 1 amazing ?
Also, do you guys think two different lock types (folding and D) will be even better than two D?

I've watched a lot of videos. Should add about 2.5kg to the bike.


Really, I'm guessing I'm asking is the abus granite 54 D with a cable better or worse than the two mentions?
I don't want to be adding more than 3kg!

I have a Hiplock Gold wrapped around the seatpost/frame and an Abus Granite Extreme on the pannier rack. They weigh a ton but then so does the ebike. Cables don't seem worthwhile except maybe as a purely visual deterrent, bolt cutters will get through them in seconds.

Yeah seen those cables.
Doesn't seem any different between a cable tie and a cable lock. All they will stop is chancers.



The abus 6500 is on its way, and a d lock. Feel like two different types of lock will need two different tools and thus more of a deterrent
 
Yeah mine needed a special tool (nut splitter) to open..
One of the comments though.. "that tool sounds like my ex" :D

Some of those locks literally opened in 2 seconds.
