Problem & Solution
For motorcycle and scooter riders using disc brake locks, a major operational risk is attempting to ride off while the disc lock is still engaged on the wheel rotor. This mistake frequently causes severe damage to brake calipers, rotors, or front forks, while potentially throwing the rider off balance.
This 1.2m flexible spring cable provides a high-visibility connection between the disc lock and the vehicle's handlebars. By stretching from the wheel to the throttle grip, it acts as a clear physical and visual reminder to disengage the lock before starting the ignition.
Additionally, the extended 120cm to 150cm coiled reach allows the cable to function as a light tether rope for securing accessories like helmets, jackets, or luggage when paired with a secondary padlock or motorcycle lock.
Who Is It For?
This reminder cable is aimed primarily at motorcyclists, scooter commuters, e-bike users, and cyclists who use disc locks or portable padlocks. It is ideal for riders wanting a low-profile visual safety indicator to prevent accidental drive-offs with rotor locks attached.
