LITELOK X1 Saves Motorcycle in Amsterdam #159

A determined theft attempt, an hour of trying to cut through a lock, and a motorcycle that was still there the next morning. Nikita’s experience in Amsterdam is a powerful example of how the LITELOK X1 can help protect what matters most.

After discovering that thieves had spent an entire hour attempting to cut through the LITELOK X1, Nikita shared this incredible testimonial with us:

“It saved my bike! I have just ordered a second lock because the first one was damaged - but it withstood the attempt to be cut off! According to the motion tracker, thieves attempted to cut it for AN HOUR and ended up leaving without the bike. Huge thanks to Litelok team for making a truly amazing product.”

At around 2am on 3 September, Nikita’s motorcycle, valued at approximately €5,000, became the target of thieves in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The motorcycle was parked in a garage, but unfortunately, the garage doors weren't working that night and had been left open, giving thieves an opportunity to strike.

Nikita had secured the motorcycle with a LITELOK X1 through the wheel, alongside an additional chain lock securing the bike to the garage wall. A Monimoto motion tracker was also fitted to provide an extra layer of security.

Despite the opportunity to steal the motorcycle, the thieves faced a significant obstacle: the LITELOK X1.

"I received a call from my motion tracker at 2am, but didn't hear it. I saw notifications in the morning though, and when I came to the garage, the bike was still covered. I think thieves wanted to return the next night, but I brought it to the service since the ignition was tampered with. "

A Sold Secure Motorcycle Diamond rated lock, such as the LITELOK X series, provides formidable physical security, making life significantly harder for would-be thieves. Pairing this with a motorcycle tracker adds another layer of protection, helping alert you to suspicious movement and providing valuable location information if a theft is attempted.

Nikita's experience is a great example of why this layered approach matters. With a LITELOK X1, an additional chain lock and a Monimoto tracker, the motorcycle remained safe despite an hour-long attack.

"Thanks again for making such an amazing product, I ordered a second lock and will re-use the first one on my bicycle as well instead of my retired kryptonite! :)"

Although the attempted theft left a partial cut on one side of the shackle, the LITELOK X1's unique anti-rotation feature meant the thieves couldn't simply make one cut and remove the lock. To defeat the lock, two complete, successful cuts would be needed, requiring additional grinder discs, more battery power and more time.
