Could always find a nice hidden way to sneak a wire to the shed, metal shed + oscillator circuit + ignition coil hehehe

Re: secure-a-bike
 

I'm looking at getting one of these (the OP's bike shed not Paws' one) for a new bike when I get it. I don't know about the the other one but the secure-a-bike one was made of thicker metal when I checked against other bike sheds that I could find - which is shown by the fact the smallest one weighs 350kg empty! I like the fact it will be over half a ton with a bike locked inside it, no-one's gonna have an easy time pulling/lifting that away anyway.

I'm actually planning to install it (bolt it to the ground) inside my garage in a huge bout of post-theft overkill...

P.s. another thing with the secure-a-bike is that you can chain it to the box itself so if someone gets in they can't necessarily get the bike separated. Btw the ramp that comes out doesn't have to be a full ramp for both wheels, you can buy one with just a half bit for the front wheel, although you probably still need the same amount of space...

Re: secure-a-bike
 

Just for info, in the BikeSafe there is a bar across the back for chaining to, and also an arm that you can put through the front wheel and padlock in place.

I agree though, the secure-a-bike is of a heavier guage steel, so will be heavier.

I have a friend who has one. he too is on a slight slope. He is very pleased with it, and I don't think they depreciate much so if you ever want to get rid of it I'm sure it would be no problem to sell.

Re: secure-a-bike
 

I so want one of these ^_^.

£1650 and it's yours :D

Re: secure-a-bike
 

Well after all that...and a little thought...I ended up ordering the secure-a-bike racer unit. Does seem so well put together and suits my needs.

A quote on an 08 Hannspree CBR600 was £2100 uncovered in my parking compound thing or £600 inside the secure-a-bike unit...virtually the price of the unit itself in the insurance saving!!

Also tested and ordered above mentioned CBR...utterly lovely to ride. I'll miss my little SV though :(

Re: secure-a-bike
 

Get your self several quotes from serveral companies, someone must be able to do better than £2100, e-bike are very good.

Looks nice and all but £1600 is a lot of extra insurance, depends how long you want to keep it really.

Re: secure-a-bike
 

Let me spell it out!! It's mainly location...

HANNspree CBR600RR parked outside (parking lot but still outside!) in LEWISHAM, LONDON!! I'm actually surprised it was only 2 grand!! With the secure-a-bike garage the quote dropped to under £700, which is, to me, very good indeed.

I also got £1800 p/x for my k2 blue 650S with 24k on the clock which made me very happy indeed. A lot more than I though I would have got...but I really looked after it and added a few extras here and there. Still consider that to be a good price on a p/x.

Anyone clocks me thru Lewisham, Old Kent on my commute, wave :) Only got 2 weeks of SV time left!!

Bye bye Suzy, will miss ya :(

Re: secure-a-bike
 

Cracking part-ex price.

Out of intrest, did yo just tell the insurance company it was garaged, or tell them specifically that it was the secure-a-bike shed. Not all companys see the metal boxes as garages. Had to argue the point for a while with mine before they accepted it.
