It is interesting how many e bike batteries are NOT locked. Yes they have the standard built in £5 lock yes £5

WHO! in their right mind, sorry (autistic joke) relies on a £5 bike lock.

I have not posted this for someone to comment on what it looks like, it is my choice but this is my solution. And NO it can not be slid up/down as it goes through the mudguard.

In fact I don't care if my bike is stolen, I use 2 D locks both Diamond and two of these for the battery, my only concern is being left stranded not the replacement, £30 a small cost for extra security, we all know all locks can be cut but a deterrent is a deterrent

My battery is unlocked all the time. Lost all keys

Can't you just slide down this Hiplok after you break mudguard with your hands?

You could hacksaw off the D locks, angle grind off a chain, remove air tags, so the point is irrelevant, I clearly stated "we all know all locks can be cut but a deterrent is a deterrent " in the post, good luck with the breaking of the mudguards any faster than the lock

And how mudguard is mounted to your frame? Zip tie? At the end of the day it is just a flimsy plastic. One kick and it will be in pieces, but if you are happy with that, then keep it. I think I prefer this £5 battery lock.

The locks are closer to £6, I find that more reassuring.
