Locky is structural to the handlebars, propping them up when riding. This allows the user to always have a lock unobtrusively with them and makes the bike easier to put aside when the handlebars are folded. If a thief cuts the shackle, the bicycle becomes inoperable. With the right adaptor plate, Locky can be fitted on most commuter bikes. Like any other traditional U-lock, it can be anchored to a post through the frame and wheel. The handlebars are also now folded down creating a slimmer profile which makes locking the bike in different scenarios or storing it easier. The removable headlight is brought with the user to be charged.
