Unfortunately the bike thieves in Auckland and elsewhere in New Zealand are now using cordless angle grinders to steal electric bicycles, including in broad daylight in busy areas. A growing number of our customers have lost their beloved ebikes in such circumstances, occasionally making the news.
There’s more at stake than your precious e-bike! Our ability to use e-bikes to get around our daily business in Auckland is under threat and this lock would seem to be the major part of the solution.
This lock can also be ordered ‘keyed alike’ to other xplus Abus locks including e-bike battery locks that you may be using.

High-quality protection for bikes: the GRANIT™ Super Extreme 2500 makes life difficult even for brutal thieves. Special tungsten carbide material increases resistance even against attacks with cordless angle grinders.
GRANIT™ SUPER EXTREME 2500CORDLESS ANGLE GRINDERS BITE ON GRANITE HERE
If you love your e-bike, cargo bike or your bike in general, you want to protect it in the best possible way – also against attempts to steal it with cordless angle grinders.
When developing the GRANIT™ Super Extreme 2500, great attention was paid to ensuring the best possible resistance to attacks with cordless angle grinders as this method of breaking open bike locks is increasingly observed in large cities. Our special tungsten carbide material compound around the lock shackle and body is the answer to this phenomenon and makes it extra hard for thieves. The shackle, housing and structural parts of the lock are made of hardened steel.
The extremely robust U-lock in “Made in Germany” quality thus secures bikes against brutal theft attempts. With the ABUS XPlus™ cylinder, it offers additional protection against skilled lock breaking methods such as picking.
The USH 2500 lock holder is easy to attach to the wheel: plastic-coated metal tensioning straps and optional screw holes ensure flexibility. To prevent the lock from rattling when riding, it is fixed in the USH 2500 with both ends of the shackle.
The large closing range of the shackle means that numerous connection options can be found quickly and easily. In contrast, thieves have a hard time with this robust bike lock because even cordless angle grinders bite on granite here.
