Hiplok D1000 raffle: The new lock from the British manufacturer is expensive, but unrivalled in its security. Its special steel is even designed to withstand angle grinders, which means the beefy U-lock is way ahead of bike thieves. Velomotion is giving away four copies of the security device, which will allow owners of bikes parked outside to sleep soundly again
The arms race continues: The electronics industry has just given the guild of bicycle thieves the gift of the cordless angle grinder, and the evil bicycle lock specialists are already coming up with something new. With new alloys, special coatings and clever material cross-sections, the current generation of U-locks can withstand the bite of the sawblade; after a period of uncertainty, it is now once again possible to effectively protect your expensive bike against all possible attempts to break into it.
However, the old rule of thumb now applies again that a good lock costs ten percent of the value of the bike. And for an e-bike, with an average price of around 3.000 euros, that's - yes, quite a chunk of money.
What do you get for that price? For example, the Hiplok D1000 for €279,99, which, with its weight of 1.800 grams and robust design, promises security both visually and tactilely. Above all, the British manufacturer uses Ferosafe, the new wonder material of the security industry, whose manufacturer emphasizes its extreme resistance to sawing, drilling, grinding, and other methods of destruction. This makes the Hiplok D1000 one of only nine bicycle locks on the market to carry the "Powered Cycle Diamond" seal from Sold Secure , the British certification body for security products. It doesn't get any more secure than this, and even in the long run, this lock made of special steel should keep even the most sophisticated bicycle thieves one step ahead – perhaps until the first working lightsaber.
The Hiplok D1000 comes with three keys and is pleasantly rubberized; a key seal protects the locking cylinder from the weather. As an accessory, there is a padded carrying bag that allows rattle-free attachment to the bike. And of course the Ferosafe bracket is large enough to fit all standard frame tube diameters - with the exception of the down tube of e-bikes with integrated batteries, of course.
