Segway Lock
The early I2 Kryptonite locks that now come with a blade key instead of the old skate key style had some issues with the stem connector and the lock would bind. That seems to have been taken care of.
And this one works back and forth with the early Segway lock (with the skate key) all you need is the new mount. A great lock! For those of you who want more lock, use a Python lock from Master Lock, the cable end slips into the hole in the lean steer frame and you can lock up several machines. The Python works well with the X2 |

Honestly, on the "i3" Segway Inc needs to design some way to secure the Base, not the LSF. |

Like the Club - it really just sends the theif on to the next available target. Let's just try to make our Segways not that next target! |

I like the lock overall, but mine has a couple of issues:
-It binds a bit in the LSF if rotated up a bit too much, occasionally making engagement and release difficult. - It is fussy about getting to the release position prior to engagement with the LSF - pointing it key-side down and turning the key a few times is often necessary. |

Realizing that most thefts of a Segway are acts of opportunity instead of planned heists, I feel quite comfortable with the safety of the unit when locked and alarmed. Agree with Quade that it should not preclude the use of the Tool-Less Release, but since the release is such a poor product, it is no big loss.

almost a great product
something that would improve it--longer cable; a tree it will go around isn't big enough to prevent theft, and if you can't get VERY close to whatever you want to lock it to then it won't reach. I also have a really sturdy cable-type bicycle lock, which sometimes I use with the Segway lock and sometimes alone.

The lock kit is a good idea for "safe areas," but it is totally incompatible with a pair of small bolt cutters. It is totally incompatible with the quick release so the design is not that great. The solution is a lock called "Onguard" Rottweiler, sold at REI (online and in the store). It costs $35, which is cheaper than the Segway lock system and a lot more sturdy. I take the Quick Release out, slide the Onguard into the hole with the lean bar in place and you have a very secure lock with a couple of feet to fit around something stationary. The solid Ulocks (like Kryptonite) work as well, but give you less mobility to reach something stationary.
While the Onguard is a little heavy, it fits into the front bag on my i2 wonderfully. Good luck, and if anyone wants to purchase the Segway lock system from me (never used), I will let it go for $45.00 which is half the cost I paid for it. |
