Gold standard lock aimed at cargo bikes and electric bicycles

E-Bikes and cargo bikes tend to be more expensive to buy but their size means they can be tricky to lock. The Hiplok E-DX is a chain and D-Lock combination designed to protect over-sized frames and larger bicycles.

The E-DX isn’t to be confused with the D-lock and flimsy cable combinations sold by many lock companies as 10 mm hardened steel chain is rated Gold Standard by Sold Secure.

The loop-end design offers a 1m locking length and while it weighs a hefty 3.5kg, this isn’t as much of a factor for cargo and power-assisted bikes.

Win a Hiplok E-DX

We have a Hiplok E-DX lock worth £130 to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, simply leave us a message at the bottom of the page and we’ll pick a name next week.

Breakdown cover for cargo bikes

Cycle Rescue costs just £24 per year with no hidden extras to pay if your bicycle or cargo bike suffers a breakdown – or included free when you buy cycle insurance with us.

If you suffer a breakdown  (including punctures) while out cycling, or are unable to continue due to an injury, our 24-hour Cycle Rescue team is on hand to arrange transport for you and your cycle to a safe location.

Breaking down while carrying cargo or kids can be troublesome

The ethical choice

The ETA was established in 1990 as an ethical provider of green, reliable travel services. Over 30 years on, we continue to offer cycle insurance , breakdown cover  and mobility scooter insurance while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do.

The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be the UK’s most ethical provider.

    Loving the look of the hiplok e, I think this would be ideal for leaving at my place of work, to lock my bike up rather than use a standard D lock.

    Would also be handy to use in my own garage to protect all three bikes in our household.
    (As mentioned a bit bulky for carrying around to/from work as it weighs more than a quarter of my bike).

    Lower end locks are too easy to break for a determined thief, so this looks perfect for my best bike.

    It’s the want of a convincing solution like this which is precisely what stops me from using my e-bike as more than just a toy.

    This would be great for my bike, struggle finding spaces where I can lock mine as it’s an Xl frame, so quite a long bike, normal places are just to far away from the bike it’s impossible for me to lock the frame up.

    I have my doubts if this could survive an attack by a cordless angle grinder, so is there any point making it able to survive levers and bolt cutters etc.

    I’d love this, struggling with a D-lock in a few locations since moving, but one is driving me mad. The only bike racks near to my localish shops have a very pretty 10″ metal plate with a parking and bike symbol on welded across the the front at the bottom completely obstructing me being able to attach my D-lock to the only available part of my small framed ladies step though (very elderly and heavy) foldable (by someone many times stronger than me) electric bike. Normal ladies bikes (ie. without a crossbar) for someone my height would struggle unless they had an extra long D-lock as the plate on one side means you can’t get close enough on the accessible side and the other is too close to railings that you can’t fit a bike in unless the handlebars go over the the height of the railings, the space was there (I think with another bike rack) before a space for 2 cars was cut out of the town square. Spaces warranted btw – disabled parking near chemist when an adjacent road was stopped up and that space given to pedestrians. Can’t lock to railings as there’s an bike rack in the way :'(
    Next closest locking up point not causing an obstruction is across and down a crazy busy main road (I’m not cycling on given a choice) in a big supermarket carpark. Everywhere else I go I don’t have an issue, I don’t go there as often as I would otherwise and on bus instead if I I’m using it anyway on a day I have time. Gonna raise with councillors though.

    Nothing is totally impregnable but this lock is gold standard, which insurance companies generally insist upon. This lock plus common sense when leaving your bike should ensure it is still there upon your return.
