The U-Lock has been a staple bike lock for as long as we can remember for a few reasons. Most importantly, the horseshoe shape and bulky locking mechanism are serious deterrents for the would be thief eyeballing your sweet new fixie. While they might be bulky, they’re still easy enough to carry in a bag or stuck through your belt when you’re riding, so it’s not all that inconvenient for good security. We’re not going to say that carrying a key for the widely available U-Lock is all that difficult, but this new ULOCK reduces the number of things you have to remember with their new keyless entry lock. Using a Bluetooth 3.0 LE connection to your iOS or Android phone, along with their app, you can lock and unlock your ULOCK with one quick click. It also has built-in auto lock and unlock features based on proximity and geolocation so you don’t forget where you parked.
