Can anyone tell me about the cable & the lock?

I have used the cable and lock to link the front wheel to a pole or post to prevent theft. It can also be used to secure your helmet if it won't fit under the seat. Also, if riding with a buddy, you can lock the scooters together front wheel to front wheel.

Yeah it's pretty cheap and small. But the cover is excellent! If you use the cable correctly with the cover you can slide the cable through the small holes ( which are covered and hidden on the sides of the cover) the cable and lock are both pretty thin and could probably be cut quickly. I carried a heavier metal lock and used the cover and the small lock as another form of protection. It comes with 2 keys which is nice and the cover works great in all weather conditions and is pretty easy to pack away into its carrying case and store in a backpack or underneath the seat.

The cable itself is just at 14" long. Once it's inserted into the lock, it's a 1/4" shorter.

I have not received mine yet, but based on the pictures, I would think that a good cut resistant steel cable looped through a vehicle bumper or something similar (two cinder blocks is 80 lbs) with a strong pad-lock would at least deter a would-be thief somewhat. If a thief wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it. (Make sure that your system is listed on your homeowners insurance.) I plan on having a motion activated light & alarm aimed right at my charger as well.

The cable could be cut with bolt cutters. The cable only serves as a reminder that the lock is on The bike. The cable is meant to hang between your lock and your handlebars.

There are holes in the two zipper blades which are big enough to run a cable through or a regular size lock. I was going to attach a photo but no attachment seen.

There is no locking cable that comes with the unit. It does come with two lag screws to be able to attach it to something solid, if you desire.

On the end of the lock where you insert the free end of the cable turns clockwise about 90 degrees. Turn, enter new combo, Return to original position. Took few minutes to figure it out though. No instructions were included in the package.

One end of the cable is looped onto the back of the rack. The other end of the cable inserts into the lock mechanism. The cable is completely removable.

It does not lock but it is very steady and does not come off easily. Very well made cable.

It doesn't matter what size the cable is, the locking mechanism is absolute junk. One mild swing of a carpenters hammer and mine broke like glass. It looks cool but that's about it. Buy a different lock with your money you will be a lot happier.

These may seem obvious but first check to make sure you have the right key for the lock and then make sure the key is all the way into the lock. It is a Master Lock and my code starts with a P. Then turn it 1/4 turn clockwise. It may take a little force to turn it.If that doesn't work, try releasing some of the tension on the cable by lifting the camera up some. If all else fails, get out the bolt cutters and cut the cable and return it as defective.Good Luck

I believe there is a password protection function that can be enabled, and the cable appears to be a standard A to Micro B USB 3.0. The cable it comes with is definitely very short-- my tower has a USB input at the top and the drive has to sit on top of the tower when I use it or it dangles off my desk.

i'm not sure, i'll try to get to my cable in the next couple of days, I got mine to lock our boat to docks when left unattended. the cable ends are too big to fit thru our pop up cleats on the boat so I got two of the trimax rubber coated locks to just lock the cable to the cleats. works like a charm.

One end of the cable has a small loop on it and the other has the lock part. You wrap the locking end around any type of secure object (post, unmovable table leg, etc., and then thread it through the small loop and then lock it onto the case. Just about any type of object that can't be carried off and will enclose a section of the cable so it can't be removed without unlocking it, will work - you are just limited by the size of the object. I think the cable length is about 3 feet? It should be in the description. This means the larger the object you wrap it around the less play you have on the other end of the cable when you are trying to use your Ipad.

Almost any laptop (both PCs and Mac) has the small hole in one of its sides to be used with a cable and lock. This lock is meant for laptops, not desktop computers.

I do not have the lock mentioned, but the cable looks to be rather small in diameter, I would think it would fit through the lock hole.

It is spring loaded. Pull until it clicks and it locks, pull it again until it releases and it winds up automatically. Be careful to keep the cables even on each side, they will move. If you find they are uneven you can pull one side until they are even. Do not let the cables spring back without applying tension, they will tangle in the device.
