Thanks for trying to help Curt.
That was the first thing I went to, but none of the boxes are checked, so I can’t uncheck anything.
I guess I have to change my email to a bogus one as suggested by Aaron.

Seeth,


I looked at that throttle lock too, but decided against it.
They can simply cut the brake lever and ride with it around the throttle until back in their dungeon.
But, if they don't have tools, it is a good deterrent for spontaneous roll offs.


The really good thing about the warning before th alarm goes off, the other day in the morning, I did forget about the lock and it gently tells you that you are an idiot without waking up the neighbors.
You also don't have to put the reminder cable around your bike every single time you are using the lock, or it gets expensive when you do forget it.


Oh, and yes, being able to mount it on the bike was a big selling point for convenience.
The issue with it not being convenient is that one will stop doing it and that is when it bites you.

I hear you Justin,


but chaining isn't an option in 99% where I park (no anchor, no pole etc.) and it would literally spoil my experience of the freeedom this bike provid me with. Hopping on and off effortlessly, turn the key and zip away.
I only put the disc lock on when leaving it alone for more than an hour or so.


It does prevent professional opportunistic roll offs.


If a professional really wants a to get it in public, I agree, they most likely will get it, but that is why I have insurance too.


I appreciate the input though.


By the way, the chain isn't such a barrier either against a grinder and it doesn't alarm in most cases.


Unbolting the brake rotor, mhhh... ok, that is why I have the lock on the back wheel, they cannot get it out of the way completely so easily as by temporarily removing the front wheel.


The disclock simply eliminates the steering lock crackers and walk away guys.
The ones that don't come with tools.
The ones with tools will probably get it no matter what.


The alarm disc lock also prevents people from touching it.

That is a handy little bracket. How did you have to use a belt sander?

Brian,


I missed taking a picture before I ground it into shape.
If you look at the straight edges of the part here on amazon, you can tell how I had to sand them to make room for the charge plug behind the frame.
Also, you have to shorten the bracket qhite a bit to make room for the motor mount.

I hope that clarifies it.
It is a bit of sanding, you might be able to do it with an angle grinder too.
Ideally, you would take an endmill on a mill to make the shapes perfect, but oh well.


I really love that I have this lock mounted on the bike now, no fishing in the backpack or anywayere else.
My luggage compartment is already full with tools 'n stuff.


Now some recommended the Xenia and to simply remove the alarm.
That doesn't make sense to me, since you are paying for the alarm, and you want the alarm, but end up having to take it off.
That is less deterrent then.


This Urban UR-10 is affordable, small, yet actually really heavy, and it acts like a full blown alarm which doesn't go off like a stupid dumb device when the user makes a mistake.


Like the pointless car alarm in the 90s


Sorry, I know that was more info than you asked for.

Thanks Erasmo,


it's about time.


Interesting that Germany has PV although I remember, sun is not necessarily abundant in good old Germany.


I suppose the units are super efficient but also tons of them to make up for the lack of sunlight.

My point, I read all about the Xenia false alarms and didn't want to deal with it.


You can use the Urban UR-14S 14MM bolt with double locking mechanism
https://www.amazon.com/Urban-Security-motorcycle-Resistant-Reminder/dp/B01N2UC3R3/ref=pd_sbs_263_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N2UC3R3&pd_rd_r=PZTSGVW2B2DM42ZGQ7ET&pd_rd_w=Y1oab&pd_rd_wg=FsBYU&psc=1&refRID=PZTSGVW2B2DM42ZGQ7ET


or the


Artago 32S 15MM with double locking
https://www.amazon.com/Artago-Motorcycle-Bike-Alarm-Disc/dp/B00HLOPZY4/ref=pd_sbs_263_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00HLOPZY4&pd_rd_r=PZTSGVW2B2DM42ZGQ7ET&pd_rd_w=Y1oab&pd_rd_wg=FsBYU&psc=1&refRID=PZTSGVW2B2DM42ZGQ7ET


Both are from the same company just marketed as a different line.  They are a bit big for the zeros and expensive.


They claim zero false alarms.


So far, my bike has been parked outside of my workplace in heavy Texas winds and had no fals alarms.




I also love the fact that I don't have to stuff it in a bag with that holder.


I will be adding a u-lock that is sending a text and is registered in a database.
It has a lot of good features

I wanted to by the large ABUS the detector, it's supposed to be false alarm safe,  it the initial warning is always followed by the actual alarm.
How annoying.

Hah.... cool picture.


Where is that?


I was born in Düsseldorf. Moved around all over Germany and rode everyday since I was 18.


I haven't been back to Germany for almost 20 years, but I have read that Germany is one of the leaders in renewables in Europe.


Do you have a lot of chargeing stations ?
