Foldylock 1

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed some fancy electric bikes for the Gadgeteer and now that I’m riding around town with them, I am always worried that someone is going to steal them.  It only follows that I should invest in an equally fancy bike lock to protect them.   They don’t come much fancier than the Seatylock
