    Solid locking mechanism. However, it is a bit on the heavier side.

    Scooter is very secure with this lock! Only problem is the secure handlebar clip doesn’t fit on the Segway.

    U-lock is really hefty, very well built. Unlikely that anyone would ever be able to cut this without making a tremendous amount of noise. Only real concern is can these be picked? I don't know, I guess we'll find out.

    The Bell Catalyst 550 U-lock provides excellent security for my bike. It's very sturdy and includes a useful cable lock for added versatility. While a bit heavy, it offers peace of mind knowing my bike is well-protected.

    I bought this u lock because my other Bell u lock couldn’t lock anymore. So I was looking for a familiar one, but I guess they don’t make them anymore since mine was longer. I like this lock but. I don’t use the cable because I already have a cable with a lock.

    Better value than any other lock I’ve gotten. I can’t see anyone getting thru this very easily. Key lights up which is cool for night time.

    A good cheap option, feels and looks great. I would not expect this lock to last long against a determined bike thief. It's far better than nothing but could be better.

    Use it for a scooter and the fact that it basically comes with the second one to wrap around it is great for it to be more secure. Also great that it comes with two keys.

    I purchased this to lock up my ebike. The part to mount the lock to carry it was to small, but the lock and cable are great. John Etheridge

    It gives you peace of mind knowing my stuff is locked with double locks and I was less expensive than other bike shops in the area. I can lock my electric scooter and feel safe that it won’t be stolen. Also, it seems that it is able to be used in every season which is great for the rainy season. I would recommend this item for anyone trying to save a buck and still want top security guarding your commute pal. You can also used it to lock fences or doors.
