Best For Scooter: Abus High Security Lock

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other products by Abus, the abus high security lock has a convenient design. This six foot Abus chain is thick and heavy. It does fit and the tight fit makes it pretty much impossible for a bolt cutter and also angle grinder to attack the shackle. The heavy fabric cover is nice and prevents the chain from scratching surfaces. If your ball hitch has a nut to adjust the fit, the pin style and clamp style locks are only a visual deterrent. The sleeve is removable and is not permanently attached to the chain links.

This chain will give a thief a real run for their time. There are hurricane ties that would also work nicely since they use those in houses buried in cement. The sleeve is a nice added touch. It is incredibly heavy and will add weight to your bike ride, but if you are leaving your bike alone for several hours, this is definitely worth it.

Best For Ebike: Abus ST Chain bag

Buy on Amazon

Abus has been making great chain for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. As you can see, this nifty 6mm cloth-covered chain is JUST long-enough to reach a quick-release seat, and secure a few helmets along the way. It engages into the lock in a port that is on the opposite side of the key. The chain is heave duty and works well with the 4960 bike lock.

There is a hole in the ABUS lock to receive one extremity of the chain, so it fits in and lock when you turn the key. It only works with a cafe lock that is mounted on the bike. There is a hole in the ABUS lock to plug into the rear tire, so it's difficult to lock the bike's front tire up to a front tire parking bike spot. You will definitely want to enhance the security of your wheel lock with this unit if it is compatible.
