Linka Lasso smartphone-controlled chain lock for bikes

I rely on my bike and my passion to live a car-free lifestyle, but the right gear keeps me on two wheels. This column delves into the innovative gadgets that make switching from a car to an e-bike a breeze. Today, we’re exploring the Linka Lasso, a smartphone-controlled keyless e-bike lock.

The Linka Lasso operates without a physical key, relying solely on your smartphone to unlock it. There’s an optional SmartMotion key that functions like a fob in keyless ignition cars. I tested both the Linka Lasso 8 and Linka Lasso 10 Moto, which differ in chain length and steel thickness. The locks boast a Sold Secure Silver rating, with the Lasso 10 providing additional protection against attacks.
