What Is the Best Lock for an E-Bike in the UK?

Best e-bike lock in the UK, E-Movement combination bike lock

The E-Movement Combination Bike Lock is the best value e-bike lock in the UK. For £19.99, you get a 4-digit resettable combination, a flexible cut-resistant cable that loops around frames, wheels and fixtures, and a compact design that fits easily in a bag or pannier. It is our recommended everyday lock for UK e-bike riders. For the strongest protection, pair it with a second lock and attach both to a fixed object in a well-lit, busy place.

If you are not sure which lock setup suits your e-bike, contact us at move@emovement.co.uk or call 01483 363063 (10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Saturday). Our team is happy to help you choose.

Why do e-bikes need better locks than standard bikes?

The battery, motor and display have value individually. While a good lock for a bike worth £150 may suffice, it may not be adequate for an electric bicycle.

Points to remember while buying a lock include:

  • Value of the bike: the greater its value, the more robust your lock arrangement should be.
  • Location of parking: a crowded street with ample lighting is much better than a deserted side road.
  • Time left out: a lock needed for five minutes’ shopping is different from one used to leave the bike out for a whole day.
  • Portability: a lock left back home doesn’t guard anything. It should be something you can take along.

Our lock: the E-Movement Combination Bike Lock

The E-Movement Combination Bike Lock is designed for riders who want simple, reliable protection without carrying a heavy chain in the UK.

Key Features:

  • 4 digit resettable combination: you can set your own code and do not have to carry a key.
  • Anti-cutting construction: designed to be cut resistant and tamper-proof.
  • Convenient cable construction: easy to loop through frames, wheels, racks and other objects.
  • Compact: convenient to store in a bag or pannier.
  • Price: £19.99 with tax only

Who is it best for?

  • Commuters who require a light lock for their short stopovers
  • Riders who want a second lock to secure wheels or accessories alongside a main lock
  • Anyone who prefers a keyless lock

An honest note on cable locks

Cable locks are flexible and convenient, but they are generally less resistant to heavy-duty cutting tools than hardened steel D-locks or chains. That is why we recommend using our Combination Bike Lock as part of a two-lock setup rather than as your only protection for a high-value e-bike left in a high-risk area overnight.

How to lock your e-bike properly?

Even the best lock fails if it is used badly. Follow these steps:

  1. Lock the frame to something solid: An example of an immovable object would be a specially made bike stand.
  2. Secure the wheels: You should loop the chain around the wheels and frame to prevent the wheels from being easily removed.
  3. Keep the lock off the ground. This will make it difficult for a thief to apply force on the lock.
  4. Choose busy, well-lit spots: Visibility makes the location unattractive for thieves.
  5. Remove the battery: In case your battery is removable, you should remove it before leaving your bike.
  6. Use two different locks. The thief will require two sets of tools for unlocking both the locks and this will give you extra time.
  7. Change your code regularly. Using a resettable code allows you to do this in seconds.

What else should you buy to protect your e-bike?

Do you need a lock to keep your e-bike insured?

Yes, you must use an approved lock to keep your e-bike insured in the UK. Most insurers will reject your theft claim unless you use an independently certified Sold Secure lock matching your bike's exact value. Always check your policy fine print, use a lock rated Gold or Diamond for premium e-bikes, and save your purchase receipts as mandatory proof.

A combination lock is convenient because you have no key to lose. For the best protection, use it with a second lock and always attach it to something solid.

How many locks should I use on my e-bike?
