Thinking of heading out into the 'Big Bad World'? My advice. Grab yourself a real chunk of security because not everyone lives by your values. I recently took part in a Mini Tour of the UK. My first thought was, how do I know my beloved bike is going to outside the hotel when I wake up in the morning? Simples! Make it as difficult as humanly possible for it not to be. Knowing a good number of my bike riding friends had already bought LITELOK products I chose to do my research. That done I touched base with the company firstly through FaceBook. I was delighted with the speed at which a reply came through followed by Direct Message and then email. Something I was not expecting being a very loath user of FB.

The one to one service I received was absolutely superb. As I was firstly going abroad for 4 days then the next day seeing off on the tour meant I had a very tight time frame. No issue for these folks. The LITELOK arrived two days later followed in quick succession by the X3 Moto.

Needless to say I slept safe in the knowledge that my beloved BMW R Nine T Scrambler would be just where I had parked it the following morning.

So I bought this for a new motorcycle purchase, I cant fault the quality of the lock so far and its build (alongside the X3 when used together as a combo). It has yet to be tested in the long term. My issue is with the keys - there are 3 supplied which I like but the opening hole which slips onto a keyring is too small. The X3 key has a large enough opening to allow for movement on the ring, the Core Moto doesn't. It means i have to fold the key into the fabric piece of the keyring so the key doesn't jut at a weird angle and even then it doesn't sit flush. It might be an idea for Litelok to supply a key tidy of some sort so that it holds multiple key types, neatly and discretely. I'm a product designer/engineer by profession so thing about these things inherently and just feel that this is a missed opportunity here. Otherwise super happy and will continue to purchase their products.
