FOLDYLOCK Compact Bike Lock | Extreme Bike Lock – Heavy Duty Bicycle Security Chain Lock Steel Bars| Carrying Case Included| Unfolds to 85cm / 33.5” | Weight 2.2lb
FoldyLock is a family of premium folding bike locks. Folding lock is a concept of bike locks that are made of steel links connected by steel rivets. This basic configuration allows those locks to form a circle when locking the bike and to be folded into a small case when riding – therefore its name…
The concept of the folding lock is relatively new. It was developed to join the benefits of two traditional locks – the “Chain lock” and the “U lock”, both have weaknesses as well. The Chain lock is very flexible and can lock the bike to a variety of objects, but its protection level is mostly low and it is bulky for riding. The U lock, on the other hand, is mostly ranked high on the protection scale, But the same build concept that makes it so secure, also makes it very inconvenient to use – It’s iconic shape “D” or “U” is solid, so it limits the variety of objects it can lock the bike to, and it is always in full size – even while riding. Folding locks, like a U lock, ranks high on the protection scale, thanks to its tough build – but it also has the flexibility of a Chain lock, due to its unique configuration. Unlike both locks it can also be folded into a small case while riding.
TRUSTED SECURITY
From the makers of Seatylock, the World’s 1st Proprietary Seat and Lock Combination. The Foldylock is backed by a family of premium folding bike locks. Developed to join the benefits of two traditional locks- the “Chain lock” and the “U lock”, the Foldylock mends two concepts together. Coupling the high protection of the U lock with the flexibility of a Chain lock the Foldylock is a unique locking system that is durable, functional, and adds security you can trust to your bike.
Trusted in bike security, the folding lock is made up of steel links connected by steel rivets. The basic configuration of the lock allows it to form a circle when needed for securing your bike, but when the lock is not in use it can simply be returned into its original state- a small, compact case that links onto your bike’s frame. The Foldylock comes in 3 unique colors Cream, Red, and Green making for the perfect complement to any bike.

This lock is very rugged, sevral ways to install. We used the straps on my wifes Aventon Pace 500.3.. Several colors to chose from and the performance is great. We use the locks when we go into stores or for breafast. Fast and convenient.
A very sturdy and well-built lock. Folds up to a very compact size that fits snugly into the lock holder that mounted easily onto my bike. I like that it doesn’t rattle or bang around when I ride. Also really like that it come with not 1, not 2 – but 3 keys! They must know how prone I am to losing them. Speaking of keys, they, too are very sturdy and well made. Not sure how well the lock will stand up to an attack since I haven’t had to deal with that yet, though the build quality gives me a measure of confidence. Overall, the whole package is very well thought out, designed and executed. Definitely recommend this product.
It was a beast to break and I’m writing this review while on my to buy another one. 🙂
It does the job. It is quite a heavy lock, but the good thing is that it comes with a slot that can be attached to the bike or scooter so you do not need to carry them here and there while not in use. Great product!
intimidating: worth the money? triple !!!! If you’re gonna buy something to lock-up that specialized bicycle or that cool fixy or even the sick GT, look no further!! Highly recommended!!!
I love this lock. Not only is it versatile in that you can lock your bike up just about anywhere, it’s super convenient being able to store it on the holder when you ride.
Did not initially fit under my seat post in its upright position. I turned it upside down and used a bungie to secure it. A piece of velcro can also be used.
This look seems indestructible. The company allows key registration in case of loss. The only significant drawback is the weight. I recommend only if you have a location where you lock frequently so you can leave this lock behind and take a lighter one.
Slightly skeptical as to wether or not the case will hold it tightly over time, the weight is pretty excessive, but that the trade off for the piece of mind having a solid lock gives you. It’s just ironic to build a bike all the while trying to shave ounces and have to add a 2.2 lb. brick to it so no one steals it.
Dopo molte ricerche su internet ho trovato questo lucchetto che offre un ragionevole livello di sicurezza con un ingombro leggermente ridotto rispetto a prodotti simili e un sistema di attacco alla bici migliore che non lo fa vibrare, ho pedalato su strade sterrate e non ho sentito praticamente nessun rumore dato dalle vibrazioni. Informatevi bene come tutti i lucchetti non indistruttibile quindi non lasciate mai la bici in zone rischiose o luoghi poco transitati e fuori mano dove i ladri possono tagliare i lucchetti senza essere visti.
Rispetto a lucchetti di altre marche della stessa tipologia da quanto ho trovato in rete questo quello che resiste pi a lungo ad un tentativo di taglio, pi robusto e costruttivamente migliore.
Su Amazon ho trovato anche che era venduto ad un prezzo pi competitivo rispetto a quelli di altre marche e la scelta stata presto fatta.
Much easier to operate than the U-locks (no getting stuck). Keys seem of good quality. Attachment to bike works. Don’t know about security, but makes a reasonable impression.
This lock had been on my radar for months and I initially hesitated because of the price. I already have an Abus 16mm D lock that I use on my ebike but I have found it impossible to mount anywhere on the frame! I use an Abus Bordo 6000 folding lock on my other road bike.
I decided to bite the bullet and pay the $ for the Foldylock… and it’s a real gem of a lock! It’s well designed, fits neatly under the top bar and just doesn’t move or creak while riding. It has a smooth unlocking action, is well made and very sturdy. It snaps back into the holder reassuringly when I return to my bike and it comes with 3 serious looking keys.
I use it plus the D if I leave the bike for more than 30 minutes (I live in suburban London) but feel the Foldylock is a serious deterent to any theft without an anglegrinder.
Just buy it, you won’t regret it!
A weighty lock, which I carry low down under my bicycle frame. The (plastic) case was easy to fit with the giant cable lock type straps, but has a tendency to slip despite non-slip inserts. I don’t notice the weight when cycling – but I certainly do when I need to lift my bike!
The lock itself feels reasonably sturdy (though I don’t have confidence that any bike lock would stop a determined thief). It isn’t quite long enough to reach round my bicycle and a post – and there seems little point in securing just my wheel to the post, so I additionally use a long cable to run round the post and through the bike frame, plus I use another lock of a different design (as required by my insurers).
As others have mentioned, the lock behaves like a snake toy, and before I got used to it I chipped the bicycle paintwork a couple of times when the lock whipped round in the opposite direction. In addition, the little hook part of the locking mechanism has an irritating habit of snagging wheel spokes or chain when trying to remove the lock.
Having said that – the storage case makes the lock easy to carry on the bike, and you can’t forget to take it with you; the lock looks smart and feels quite sturdy; and despite having a mind of its own, it’s actually quite easy to use and easy to fold away once you get used to it. I’ve used it for a year now with no problems, and despite being out in all weathers, it still looks brand new.
Very strong and very well designed and made. It is heavy though so if you are a weight freak it’s may not be for you.
Works perfectly! Easy to lock & unlock. The device looks classy. No clunky chain and works in more situations than a ‘U’ lock.
It was a little heavy. And T-shirt for my needs. I had to return it.
This is a great piece of kit, easy to use, well made and fits nicely in its storage case with no noise at all when rising around.
I use this lock for my bike on a college campus and so far so good. The lock is very convenient with its holder and folding mechanism. However, I was having some issues with it as the folding mechanism was beginning to size up. This lead me to contact their customer service. They’ve sent me a replacement and requested for me to send them mine in order to look into the issue for future products. I very much recommend the foldylock compact and subsequently, seatylock as a company.
The Bike lock market is a miasma of confusing features and BS. Hours of research later the main points are that cable locks are obsolete, and nothing survives angle grinders – and in an area someone can get away with using one time won’t be a factor. So to me a lock needs to resist quieter attacks from picks to short bolt cutters.
The foldylock exudes quality, and at 1kg is the limit of what I can justify carrying about. The next bar lock up weighs 2kg+, and for that it won’t stop a grinder.
It moves smoothly, fits it’s case well and feels solid, with a high security key. Steel is hardened too so its reassuringly protected from concealable bolt cutters or hacksaws. Bought to replace cable lock and I think it’s pretty tough. At the same time I bought a ‘lite’ folding lock from a different maker and the quality and build contrast is marked.
I don’t know if I’ll find this lock sawn open and no bike one day, but the weight and size is tolerable and the quality is there for a reasonable price. Wouldn’t spend more or carry more weight. Very pleased with quality.
It is winter and my bike is in the house with the lock on it. I plan to get a sturdy cable lock to pair it with. This will be a great lock for my purposes, but it is only one part of a good plan to keep my bike secured.

This is a really nice lock. No one is taking it off my bike without the key! No need to worry about bolt cutters. It’s extremely well made and solid. A bit pricey but worth it.
This is for securing something for a short period of time. Better than some other similar products that I bought, but again, it’s not a very secure solution.
I love this lock. It sits so beautifully on my bike in the water bottle holder screws. The lock feels sturdy and has a good weight, but is not so
Overwhelming to change your ride weight.
Someone tried to cut my FoldyLock with a bolt cutter to steal my ebike, and they failed. Thanks FoldyLock!
I’ve been researching bike locks for a while and I found this one to be a top choice. Checked the reviews on Amazon, looked at all the pictures, and pulled the trigger. The lock is good, but the misspelled word bothers me.
Easy to use. Great storage bin and strong as an oxe
It is truly a good lock, very sturdy. I had my bike in a parking lot and it withstood a boltcutter, they tried twice but couldn’t cut it. Definitely worth the money
As noted in other reviews, the Seatylock brand name is misspelled on all of the links as “Seatylcok.” Not a deal killer, but I can’t imagine Kryptonite, Abus, or any other manufacturer would sell a product with their name misspelled. I took off one star for that, but overall:
The lock itself is very solid. Lock mechanism works well, the bike attachment using the water bottle bosses works great and is rattle-free, and overall, the lock provides a good level of security at a decent price and at a reasonable weight.
This lock makes me feel like my scooter/bike is really secure I love it!
As others have mentioned, only 1 lock arrived so I requested a partial refund
Although haven’t yet been able to use it yet for it’s purpose. Choosen to keep it for it’s solid metal, ease of use and it’s easy to use carrying case.
I loved it! It’s perfect. Easy to mount, not heavy. I have folding bikes, so it was very difficult to mount a u-lock or a chain. This suits my new e-bike.
The reason i rate it 4* and not 5* is because its misspelling (“Seatylcok”). I wonder if this quality control failure will affect the quality of the product.
Resto sempre piu soddisfatto di questo prodotto.
il secondo che acquisto, ma non perch il primo ha fatto cilecca, bens per utilizzarlo su un altro monopattino, in quanto fa benissimo il suo lavoro e rimanendo intatto e funzionante.
L’unica pecca che rispetto all’anno scorso lho pagato il 10% in pi.
I’ve been using my Foldylock for several months now, and couldn’t be happier. I typically don’t need to lock up my bike too often, but when I do it’s nice to have the peace of mind to know it’s well protected. I also like how practically it can be mounted onto my bike’s frame. Sometimes I forget it’s even there. Obviously, it’s not 100% theft proof. If someone really wants your bike bad enough, and they have enough time, will, skill, etc. nothing is going to stop them. This, however, it leaps and bounds beyond your average bike lock, and will be an effective deterent/impediment to any would-be theives … especially if you’re not leaving it locked up for too long (which is usually my case). For example, I will lock it up the bike rack at my local market, or restaurant while I go inside to buy groceries/eat.
light weight, looks great and sturdy, the installation of the holder is super easy and very compact!
Easy to put on your bike. The lock is so easy to deploy and has a good reach. It feels secure and although would like it slightly lighter I dont there is anything out there that has a good security vs weight.
This lock is sturdy, easy to use and folds easily and fits into its holder. Would recommend
A secure compact lock that gives a feeling of comfort when leave bike at the rack.
Its shorter than my old cable lock, but since I converted my bike to an e-bike its much more valuable so I needed the extra security
Very sturdy and love that it doesn’t take up much space and it will looks good on my bike!
Great security and ease of transportation. Light weight and nice not having to carry a lock in my backpack. Very good quality
It is easy, lighter than some, though I am not sure how I could attach to the frame of my Linus Cresta, I will figure it out or get a basket or rack or something to carry it. Right now I just use a back pack and pair the lock with a Kryptonite cable.
So far, so good. Meaning by scooter hasn’t been stolen yet.
What I like:
– It’s easy to snake around poles, etc., especially when there are other bikes chained up.
– It’s super compact and lightweight. I have an Abus U-Lock—which I’m also happy with—for my bike and it’s about 3 pounds heavier than the Foldylock.
– The holster velcros to the stem of the scooter and stays in place, even over bumps.
Only drawback:
– The lock casing is big, which means I can’t snake it through my Thousand helmet like I can with the U-Lock. That’s the only drawback so far.
Like the lock , but it could be a little longer for ease of use . We lock 2 bikes together and to a picknic table
It is very sturdy but quite heavy which is the price you pay for security. It is very neat and compact to carry though and superb for attaching your bike to things.

This thing is solid! Much sturdier than I expected. I used the included Velcro ties to strap right to the center column of my Turboant X7 Pro. No rattle, no shake. Easy to get in and out of holster. Easy to fold and unfold, easy to lock and unlock. Can’t see what else you’d want or need from a lock of this size. Just about perfect.
Good lock for the price especially if you have a to really rely on mode of transportation and don’t want to be surprised
I like that I can mount it on the screws for the back water bottle. Very sturdy and easy to use.
Better in person then what is shown on Amazon. Easy to order and it arrived in a couple of days. Installed on bike with ease. It would be nice if all purchases were as simple as this was.
Bought this for use with e-bike so weight less critical than for road bike. Fitted holder into one bottle fixing and it is very sturdy with no rattling. Lock long enough, and flexible enough, to go round bike racks etc. Off-putting to opportunist thief but I am sure that a pro would be able to neutralise it quickly. So far so good

These locks are quite heavy but fold up compact. The design and construction should defeat most thieves. I dont think a cable cutter could touch them. The only con I see is the limited locking reach. Rather short span.
The lock seems sturdy, it’s easy to open and lock, the only problem I have is mounting options. The sheath it comes in does not allow enough configurations to adapt to odd shapes tubes.
Plus the fact that it has to be inserted in the top of the sheath suggests that you need tube that is minimum 2x the height of the sheath to allow for inserting and removal.
A side load sheath option would cure the problem
Perfect secure and we’ll made lock – definitely worth the price tag for peace of mind!
I love this bike lock. It feels very sturdy and secure, while remaining incredibly easy to lock and unlock my bike with. I have used it many times per day for many consecutive days while going to a large college and I really think it’s the best lock you can buy for this purpose. It’s just so convenient and reliable! I have also tried other folding locks and none I have found to fold and unfold as smoothly as this one’s does.
