TWO WHEELS. ONE VERY REAL PROBLEM.
Whether you ride a bicycle or a motorcycle, the threat is the same — and the response from authorities is equally discouraging.

Over 61,000 bicycles were recorded stolen across England and Wales last year. In the same period, more than 15,000 motorcycles and scooters were taken — and 1 in 5 UK motorcyclists has had their bike stolen at some point.
Those are just the reported numbers. Around 71% of bicycle theft victims never report the crime — because experience has taught them it won't lead anywhere. They're right. In London, only 1% of reported bike thefts result in arrest, prosecution or conviction.
The system designed to protect your vehicle has quietly stepped back.
So we built something ourselves.

Introducing the LITELOK THEFT INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARD

OPEN THE DASHBOARD ->

An interactive map combining aggregated theft data from official sources across the UK — covering both bicycles and motorcycles — alongside verified, real-world stories of LITELOK locks defeating attempted theft.
Explore theft hotspot zones in your area. See how risk shifts across the seasons. Filter by bicycle or motorcycle. And read the accounts of riders whose locks held when it mattered most.
It's not a marketing page. It's a data intelligence tool — and it's free.

REAL STORIES OF FAILED THEFT ATTEMPTS

Every pin on our map is a verified account. A real rider. A real theft attempt that failed because they tried to steal a bike protected with a LITELOK.
Angle grinders abandoned mid-cut. Bolt cutters that couldn't get purchase. Thieves who moved on when they realised what they were up against — whether it was a bicycle chained outside a café or a motorcycle parked overnight.
