The kryptonite bike strap lock is capable of outshining several other lock featured in this list in overall features for the price point. This mini one is good for more old-school road bike with thinner frame/tires. It is designed for ebikes that have wider frames, tires etc. It doesn't interfere with peddling at all. The angle grinder will defeat anything but it's loud. It is snug and ideal for using with just the bike frame and the rack/post.
This lock is very heavy and would be more secure than a regular U lock. There is an instruction pamphlet for the keys talking about the key safe program, where you register your keys with kryptonite to assure you could receive a free replacement in the event your keys are lost. The lock mechanism is not completely smooth but a little fiddly. This lock is a far greater deterrent for thieves.

This is a lightweight lock. It features a preset, four-digit combination lock that is best used as a theft deterent. The cable is pretty thin and the lock is so sloppy you can yank on it and it will show which wheel is binding so you can decode the lock in under a minute. The numbers have to be lined up perfectly to open this lock. If you are only gonna tie it up to use the restroom or something small like that it is great.
The cable is very thick and sturdy. It opens up easily on first time using combination. It provides a basic security level that is best used as a theft deterent.

Not everyone likes to purchase lock for their daily usage, but the abus bike strap lock would be an anomoly. There is not a lot of room to get your fingers in there to set it. It comes with a set (2) of velcro straps to help with keeping it securely attached to the bike. Because the steel links are relatively heavy, and hinged, they can swing freely with gravity.
The velcro mounting straps allow the lock to be mounted virtually anywhere on the bike and then conveniently removed for use on multiple bikes, if needed. This does a good job of deterring most everyone else who may be inclined to want your bike. It comes with a rubberized case you can attach to the standard attachments on your bike. There's some soft touch coating and matching silicone lock body.
Why We Like This:
Weight is comfortable, the design is creative and handy
Perfect balance of security, convenience, weight, minimalism
Easy on the paint finish, easy to use and not too heavy

The bell bike strap lock is satisfactory and appropriate and fits well with your regular usage. Plastic is quite rigid with somewhat sharp edges that could leave wear marks on a helmet or on a bicycle if wrapped around the seat post or frame. These are simple enough to be easily used and light enough to carry in a, albeit large, pocket. They are fairly small and thin, with plastic coating a thin metal strip. It is great for quick use in relatively safer areas.
The locks work perfect, easy to unlock and lock and would recommend to anyone with a senior citizen at home that keeps getting into kitchen cabinets.
