Let’s face it, regardless of how strong, tough and sophisticated your lock is, motivated bike burglars will have the opportunity to steal your bike. But what in the event that your bike lock can climb up a post and raise it off the street?
That’s what Conrad, a German company, is showing within the video (which include awesome development stages). They’ve built a contraption that attaches a lock to motorized skateboard wheels so it would scale a lamp post. Basically, attach your bike to the lock and the lock to the post and it’ll zoom up out of arm’s reach. It’s a lovely (hilariously) genius idea that’ll surely curb bike robbers…until they start using a ladder. [ Boing Boing ]
