At Strong, we believe that securing your bike or scooter should be quick, intuitive, and effortless. Traditional locks are often cumbersome, time-consuming, and inconvenient.

That’s why we developed V-160 and T-160, two next-generation locks designed for bikes and scooters
They automatically secure your ride in secondswithout the difficulty of complex mechanisms.

With our patented automatic technology, our anti-theft device simplify the locking process while ensuring reliable protection. Whether you’re a daily commuter or an occasional rider, Strong makes locking your bike or scooter faster and easier than ever.

Bike and scooter locks haven’t evolved in decades… yet we still waste time struggling with them. 
Isn’t it time for something smarter?

Kneeling down, finding the right angle, wrestling with a lock— Why do we still put up with this?

Unlike traditional locks that require complicated handling or apps, the V-160 and T-160 introduce a revolutionary self-locking system:

We designed Strong not just to secure your ride, but to seamlessly fit into your daily routine.

Forget the complexity of traditional locks. With our automated locking system, securing your bike or scooter is as easy as a single motion.

V-160 stays securely attached to your bike at all times. 
To lock it, simply position your bike next to a fixed urban fixture—such as a bike rack, post, or railing—then push the retractable stop against it. 
The system will automatically engage, securing and stabilizing your bike in place.

T-160 works the same for your scooter, remaining permanently attached. 
When you park, just position your scooter next to a fixed urban fixture and push the retractable stop against it.
The lock will activate automatically, ensuring stability wherever you go.

With just one key, unlocking is effortless and quick, letting you focus on your ride instead of your lock.

Our lock is mounted onto the vehicle using our proprietary attachments and securely fastened with 8 reinforced, tamper-proof rivets. 
Once installed, this permanent fixation ensures exceptional resistance against any attempt at manipulation or forced removal.
Our patented automatic locking system creates, once engaged, a fully enclosed and secure mechanical structure — comparable to the strength of a reinforced U-lock.

This system has been specifically designed to deter any unauthorized removal attempts and to ensure your bike or scooter remains safe.

The T-160 is the ultimate security solution for scooters, featuring the same advanced automatic locking system as the V-160.
Once you’ve selected your anchor point, simply push the retractable stopper against it, and your scooter will be securely locked and stabilized within seconds.
No cables or manual locking required—just effortless security.

Designed exclusively for scooters, the T-160 simplifies and streamlines security.
🔹Attaches to any fixed urban fixture (bike rack, pole, railing, etc.)
🔹 Self-supporting system for maximum convenience
🔹 Fast, intuitive, and secure
🔹 Automatically locks in seconds, unlocking with a key

Each T-160 comes with a bold red protective case, offering enhanced durability and style.

The T-160 folds neatly against the scooter’s stem, designed from the ground up for scooters. Unlike many locks on the market—often adapted from bike locks—the T-160 is engineered specifically for scooters, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth user experience.

When retracted for riding (as required), it must be deployed in order to lock it onto urban furniture.

With the T-160, parking your scooter is easier than ever—just push, lock, and go!

Durability and Resistance

Our locks are made from thickhigh-resistance materials, designed to make any attempt to saw through or break them not only extremely difficult and time-consuming but also loud — just like you’d expect from a reinforced U-lock.
Additionally, our locks feature an anti-pick lock to provide an extra layer of security.
We’ve carried out reliability tests to ensure solid protection against theft attempts.

The V-160 is more than just a bike lock—it’s a fully integrated security system designed for modern urban cyclists.



🔹 Effortless Locking – Quick attachment to urban fixtures with one simple motion.
🔹 Patented Innovation – A seamless locking experience, designed for ultimate ease of use.
🔹 One-Step Automatic Locking – Just push the retractable stop, and it secures instantly.
🔹 Stabilizes Your Bike – No more tipping over when parked.
🔹 Sleek and Functional Design – Stays within your bike’s footprint, never extending beyond the wheels.
🔹 Built to Last – Made from strong, durable materials to withstand daily use.

It has been conceived and designed exclusively for bikes. 
 

Each V-160 comes with a sleek black protective case for durability and style.
This device is designed to be easy to usereliable and robust, ideal for urban cyclists concerned about the security of their bike.

“In a world driven by technology, we couldn’t help but wonder — why hasn’t securing a bike or scooter become simpler? That’s exactly why we created the V-160 and T-160: to make everyday life easier for courageous riders.”
— Jordan, Co-Founder and CEO of Strong

With your support, we’re building a smarter, simpler way to secure bikes and scooters. Thank you for believing in us! 🚀

Our locks weigh 3.2 kg and are directly attached to the bike frame using reinforced rivets. They do not affect the balance of the bike in any way. For comparison, a front basket typically weighs between 1 to 4 kg and can carry 5 to 15 kg, while a U-lock can weigh up to 3.5 kg and a chain lock can reach up to 5 kg.

Our locks weigh 3.2 kg and are securely mounted to the scooter frame with reinforced rivets, ensuring they don’t impact the scooter’s balance. 
To put it into perspective, a typical scooter front basket weighs between 1 and 3.5 kg and can hold up to 5 kg. Similarly, U-locks can weigh as much as 3.5 kg, while chain locks can reach weights of up to 5 kg.

The V-160 is compatible with a wide range of bike frames. Designed to fit the most common sizes, it comes with rubber inserts that allow for a custom fit, adapting to different frame shapes. However, bikes with integrated headlights or a built-in basket are not compatible for the moment.
For more details on compatibility, please refer to the article above or visit our compatibility list on the website.

To ensure you receive the right lock size, a survey will be sent to you after your order.

Just like the V-160, the T-160 can be mounted on a wide range of scooters. It is designed to fit the most common steering columns on the market and can adapt to any scooter thanks to rubber inserts placed between the frame and the lock for a secure fit. For more details on compatibility, please refer to the article above or visit our compatibility list on the website.

To ensure you receive the right lock size, a survey will be sent to you after your order.

A detailed installation guide will be included with your lock, along with the necessary reinforced rivets. To make installation even easier, video tutorials will also be available.

If you have any questions about the installation, feel free to contact us through the contact form on our website or send us a message via Kickstarter. We’ll be happy to help!

Our lock has been specifically designed to secure the bike or scooter frame, as it’s the most essential and valuable part of the vehicle. 

The vast majority of thefts involve stealing the entire frame, since without it, a bike or scooter loses all of its value. Wheels — especially on modern electric bikes — are usually attached with more complex fixings, often secured using specific lock nuts, which already helps prevent opportunistic theft. 
For maximum protection, most bike manufacturers recommend equipping wheels with dedicated anti-theft nuts or security bolts. This simple and affordable solution has become a common practice, and perfectly complements our system by securing the individual components of your bike or scooter. 
Our lock was designed to secure the entire frame, which remains the primary target in most theft cases. 

We’ve created a lock that is practical, fast, and robust — focused on what matters most: preventing the theft of your entire vehicle. 🔒🚲

No, STRONG locks make your daily rides easier. Once installed, they stay securely on your bike or scooter—no need to carry or reinstall them at every stop.
Always in place, always ready—zero extra effort!

Three options are available:

  • Your new vehicle is already compatible with your current STRONG lock attachment. Simply check compatibility with your lock version.
  • Your new vehicle is compatible with the attachment but not with the matrix/ring kit. In this case, you can purchase a compatible matrix + ring kit separately.
  • Your new vehicle is not compatible with your current attachment. You can take advantage of our attachment conversion service: send us your complete lock, and we will modify the attachment to make it compatible with your new vehicle—at a lower cost than purchasing a new lock.

We will offer in the future three service options:

  1. Attachment replacement
  2. Attachment replacement + lock revision (mechanism check)
  3. Attachment replacement + lock revision + protective cover replacement

We’ll keep you updated throughout the process to ensure a smooth and transparent delivery experience.
