ATHELON®
E-scooter lock

The ATHELON® e-scooter lock is an effective method of protecting e-scooters, scooters, bicycles, trailers or pushchairs against theft. The lock is made of A3 steel, which guarantees maximum security. In addition, the silicone surround prevents potential scratches and damage to the vehicle.
With an overall length of 65 cm and a chain length of 33 cm, the lock offers sufficient flexibility as well as extremely secure fastening. The three-stage handcuff function enables optimum adaptation to different models. The 360° rotating mechanism makes it easy to put on and securely fasten the lock.
The ATHELON® lock is supplied with four keys and a waterproof case for convenient fastening. The zip fastener and key hook ensure safe and orderly storage. The lock is made of rustproof material, making it weather-resistant and durable. It is therefore ideal for use on various vehicles.

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of up to €89.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €49.99 . The e-scooter lock from ATHELON® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €54.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
