TMD’s keyless bike lock is a $280 solution to a $60 problem
I’ve seen lots of so-called “smart” bike locks over the years, but none so far could justify the added cost. A newcomer that got its start securing ATMs for banks is trying to change that.
AI Summary
The TMD Chain Lock is a keyless bike lock that offers a high level of security and insurance-friendly certification. The lock's price of $280 is significantly higher than the average cost of a bike lock, which is around $60. This disparity in cost raises questions about the value proposition of the TMD Chain Lock. The lock's ART-2 certification, which is insurance-friendly, may be a key factor in its appeal to some users. However, the added cost of the lock may be a barrier for many others.
