Have a project in which I must design a product so I decide to do it on a motorcycle security mechanism
Rough rough draft for motorcycle parking security design
- Thread starter treyc1
- Start date
How does it work?
That's real dandy and all, but have you done any cost analysis yet?
Myself and another smart member have considered this idea also, i went so far as to make a small scale proto-type,
In the end, you'd need to sell it for far more than you think, not to mention the need for different models etc..
It can be done, but you'd need some good connections in the fabrication industry.

well with the right design and proper business plan I doubt it would be hard to find investor/loan
Also finding places to buy would be the easy part
do I smell "start up business"
well that's the whole point hopefully your going to need a aw to break it and im pretty sure if people saw someone cutting "parking device" infront of a mall it would raise some eyebrows hopefully
What would the locking mechanism be? External padlock? Internal lock? Is the lock weatherproofed against a Canadian winter?
This is a fun challenge you have taken on.
I'll ask another question and then tell you a little story.
The question is, how is that thing secured to the ground? Is it secure against liquid nitrogen shattering attacks? You might say nobody is going to bring liquid nitrogen. And this is true. They wouldn't for my cheap bike, but for a blinged out 30k bike they might.
Story, back in the mid 90s my partner and I opened a business on the second floor of a business type walk-up building. We were in the process of getting it set up and went to a locksmith and bought ourselves this great unpickable lock for the door that was rated for an hour of drilling. The locksmith was skeptical we needed it but we bought it anyway.
The next day or so we were broken into. So was the rest of the floor. The walls were drywall. Who needs locks when you can just unlock stuff by opening a little hole or just cut a hole and walk right through the walls. That $200 lock gave us the same amount of protection as a $10 padlock would have because the attack wasn't focused on the lock at all.

it would be internal and yes it would be winterproof
you'd be surprised how little attention people pay. Especially with a hard hat on and a generic pick up truck standing by.
"what do you remember?"
"looked like they were doing something or other near that parking spot. it was noisy and dusty so we didn't pay attention"
also, if the bike is worth taking, they'll put in the time.
Need to specify a time duration.
Ok, I'll put on a uniform and arrive in a tow truck. Now I look all official and nobody sees me I'm invisible because I'm wearing the clothing of officialdom.
I spend the next hour doing it. I'm still invisible. Tow truck! Coveralls!
Frame sliders might save some damage in a tipover, but a bar running through the wheel is going to absolutely wreck the rim.
I think you're being too harsh.
If the lot is providing this to you free, you are welcome to use it or not. It is an additional deterrent to whatever you are currently using, be it nothing, a disc-lock or a 200-lb doberman.
