Why You Need Multilayered Security 

Your alarm system on its own won’t be able to deter most thieves, and you must put multiple systems in place to create such a formidable obstacle that bike thieves will always see your machine as a time-consuming and risky target. 

That’s why you need the EasyBlock Wheel Lock. Its core utility is its simplicity and resilience. It's a lock that can be activated simply by pressing a knob with your feet and deactivated with a simple key turn. A perfect security system for the many quick stops all riders make in the city.

Though the EasyBlock wheel lock is perfect for on-the-go situations, you must use it with your alarm system, GPS tracker, and security chain to achieve multilayered security during prolonged stops

Wrapping Up

Different types of alarms have their pros and cons. Wired alarms are tough but tricky to install. Stand-alone alarms are easy but less secure. Alarm disc locks are costly but offer 2-in-1 security. 

Choose the best one based on your budget and lifestyle. Pair your EasyBlock wheel lock, security chain, and alarm for maximum security.
