Operating and Usage Scenarios
The Urban XK100 is designed for versatile anti-theft applications, offering flexibility to secure various types of vehicles to fixed objects.
Securing Your Vehicle
- To a Fixed Object: Loop the chain around a secure, immovable object such as a lamppost, tree, or dedicated anchor point. Then, pass the chain through a non-removable part of your vehicle (e.g., frame, wheel, or a combination of both). Finally, connect the shackle end to the lock body and engage the click-locking mechanism.
- Mehrere Fahrzeuge: The 100cm length allows for securing multiple bicycles or a bicycle and a scooter simultaneously, provided they are positioned closely together.
