Kryptonite New York FAHGETTABOUDIT Mini Bike U-Lock, Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock for E-Bike, Motorcycle, Scooter

The Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboutit U-lock is designed to provide big city cyclists with the ultimate protection against would-be thieves. Featuring an 18mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle, this lock is engineered to resist bolt cutters and leverage attacks, making it an ideal choice for those living in areas with moderate to high crime rates.

With a maximum 10 ranking on the Kryptonite 1-10 lock comparison system, the New York Fahgettaboutit offers an unparalleled level of security. Unlike locks that may suffice for suburban areas or when paired with a Rottweiler, city dwellers demand the utmost protection, and this lock is built to deliver.

The security-enhancing features of the New York Fahgettaboutit include a high-security disc-style cylinder, an oversized and hardened steel sleeve over the crossbar for double security, and a double deadbolt locking mechanism for extensive holding power. Additionally, the center keyway is designed to defend against leverage attacks, ensuring that the lock remains secure even under intense pressure.

Complementing the robust construction, the lock also boasts a protective vinyl coating and a sliding dust cover that protects and extends the cylinder's lifespan. For added convenience, the New York Fahgettaboutit comes with three stainless steel keys, one of which is equipped with a high-intensity LED bulb and a replaceable battery, making it easy to unlock the lock even in low-light conditions.

The legendary durability of Kryptonite locks has been well-documented. In 1972, the company's founder, Michael Zane, conducted a test in New York City, where a three-speed bicycle locked with a Kryptonite lock remained unscathed for 30 days and 30 nights, despite numerous attacks by thieves.

Years later, in 1994, Kryptonite's New York lock faced an even greater challenge. The New York Post locked a brand-new, bright green Univega road bike worth $600 to a parking meter in the East Village, one of the city's high-theft areas. For 48 hours, the bike remained locked, with Zane and Neil McDaid, Kryptonite's director of product development and design, watching from a nearby location as the lock withstood various attempts to breach it. After the initial 48-hour test, the bike was moved to SoHo and then uptown near the Lincoln Center, where it remained securely locked for another three weeks before being retrieved by Zane and McDaid.

Kryptonite's commitment to innovation, customer service, and security is unparalleled. The company's dedication was further demonstrated in 2004 when it discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised. Kryptonite immediately responded by creating a voluntary lock exchange program, replacing more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries free of charge, effectively redesigning nine years' worth of products in just 10 months.

With the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboutit U-lock, city cyclists can rest assured that their bikes are protected by one of the most secure and durable locks on the market, built to withstand the harshest urban environments.
