Gold-Rated Folding Bike Lock | E-Bikes and Bicycles
Protect your bike with a folding lock that combines strong materials, extended reach, and a compact six-link design. Its 104.5cm, or 41-inch, locking length provides enough room to secure a compatible frame and wheel to many bike racks, lamp posts, and other fixed objects.
Sold Secure Gold and ART certifications indicate that the lock has undergone independent security testing. This makes it a strong option for commuters, e-bike riders, and cyclists parking in cities or other high-traffic locations. Insurance requirements can vary, so confirm the required lock rating with your provider.
Heat-Treated Steel Construction
The six folding links are made from heat-treated alloy steel and measure 9.5mm thick. Reinforced stainless steel rivets connect the sections while allowing the lock to rotate through its folding range. This construction is designed to resist common cutting and sawing attacks while remaining more flexible than a traditional U-lock.
A built-in dust and water-resistant keyhole cover helps protect the locking mechanism from rain, snow, mud, and road debris. Keeping contamination away from the keyway supports smoother operation and helps reduce the risk of corrosion or jamming.

Two Ways to Mount It
Use the secure bolt-on method when your frame has compatible bottle cage bosses. For bikes without those mounting points, the adjustable straps allow the holder to attach to many frame tube shapes and sizes. This keeps the folded lock organized and accessible during the ride.
Why It Stands Out
The combination of independent security ratings, 9.5mm heat-treated steel links, stainless steel rivets, and a 41-inch reach provides a useful balance of protection and flexibility. Its weather-resistant keyhole cover and two mounting options make it practical for year-round commuting and everyday transportation.
No bicycle lock can prevent every theft attempt. For better protection, secure the frame and a wheel to a solid fixed object, keep the lock away from the ground, and park in a visible area whenever possible.
Best For
- City commuters parking in busy or higher-risk areas
- E-bike owners who want certified security with extended reach
- Riders who need more locking flexibility than a compact U-lock provides
