WhyIn Germany, a bicycle is stolen every minute.
WHY?
Even the highest quality U- and folding-locks can be broken open silently in seconds using the simplest tools.
The solution:
One lock, double locked.
Thanks to its closed system, 2Lock offers no target for bicycle thieves. Compared to all conventional locks, it cannot be forced open without destroying the bike's roadworthiness at the same time. E-bikes with 2Lock are therefore extremely unattractive for thieves and fences, as it is no longer possible to resell them economically.
Due to the compact design in the front wheel hub, the 2Lock hub lock is visible but does not detract from the design of the e-bike. This preserves the aesthetic appearance of the e-bike.
Both locking mechanisms can be opened and closed contactlessly, which means that the "Keyless Go" standard established in other areas, such as the automotive industry or smart homes, can be transferred to e-bikes. 2Lock thus completes the digital anti-theft concept of the future.
CONCEPT
Anti-theft protection of the future

Physical lock
Physical locking is a central component of the concept. The 2Lock hub lock acts as an immobilizer to prevent unauthorized use and also protects the wheel and fork against theft. It also enables contactless locking and unlocking. This physical locking mechanism forms the core of the comprehensive protection concept.
System Security Software
The bike manufacturer's security software deactivates important electronic components such as the motor, battery, display and electronic gears. In the event of theft, these can no longer be used or reactivated. As the frame is also adapted to these components, it is also worthless.
Alarm
The alarm makes it impossible to carry the bike away silently.
Tracking
With the help of GPS, the owner is notified immediately if his bike is moved without authorization. It can also be localized worldwide.
Encoding
Coding the e-bike makes illegal resale even more difficult.
Insurance
As the last instance, insurance offers financial protection in the event of theft or loss of the e-bike.
The anti-theft concept of the future for e-bikes not only makes theft more difficult, but also unattractive by taking away the main motivation for it: profit.

In addition to security, the usability is an absolute highlight that is only made possible by 2Lock. The integration of the physical lock into the contactless concept enables a completely automated locking and unlocking process.
ABOUT US
We are Ben, Simon and Martin - the founders of 2Lock. Our mission is to revolutionize the locking process for e-bikes and thus create real added value for their owners. The idea for 2Lock was born back in spring 2021, when Simon started with the vision of developing an innovative lock. We quickly recognized the enormous potential and decided to pursue this idea together.
By joining forces, we began to refine the concept and create the basis for our revolutionary product. This led to us successfully implementing a proof of concept, applying for several patents and finally being awarded an EXIST start-up grant. We laid the foundation stone for our company in October 2022 with the founding of 2Lock GmbH in Regensburg, Bavaria.
FAQ
An e-bike with 2Lock can simply be carried away. Do I have to secure it additionally?
No. If an e-bike is carried away despite the alarm signal and GPS tracking, it remains unrideable with 2Lock. Removing 2Lock is only possible at great expense of time and by destroying the wheel and fork. As all electronic components such as the motor, battery and display can no longer be used due to the security software, it is uneconomical for thieves to resell the bike.
Why is a 2Lock hub lock more secure?
In the 2Lock hub lock, both locking mechanisms are integrated inside the hub. In addition to wheel rotation, 2Lock also locks its own removal. This means that the owner alone decides when to remove the lock and therefore the entire front wheel.
Do I have to lock the 2Lock hub lock via a separate app or remote control?
No, due to the integration of 2Lock into the e-bike's system software, 2Lock is activated intuitively with all other protection mechanisms such as the alarm, tracking system and system security software.
Can I simply remove the front wheel in the event of a flat tire?
Of course! All you have to do is open the second locking mechanism (removal lock) and disconnect the connection between 2Lock and the e-bike's system software via a plug.
Can I retrofit the 2Lock hub lock to my e-bike?
Our 2Lock MVP is integrated into the system software of the e-bike and is therefore installed directly by the bike manufacturer. However, a retrofit product is conceivable at a later date.
Is it possible that the lock locks while driving?
No, this is not possible under any circumstances. The lock is designed so that it can only lock when the wheel is stationary.
