The BenjiLock By Hampton Fingerprint Bike Lock offers bike users a keyless way to protect their vehicle on the go and instead rely on the fingerprints that are programmed into the lock. The U-Lock is designed to store up to 10 fingerprints, which makes it possible for friends, family or members of the same household to share a single bike without having to worry about keeping tabs on sets of keys.
The high-security biometric bike lock boasts a weather-resistant design, plus a drill-resistant cylinder and a bolt cutter-resistant, covered hardened steel shackle. As Kim Kelley, president and CEO of Hampton Products recognizes, "With bicycle sales soaring since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and over 100 million electric bicycles expected to be sold over the next 2-4 years, it's a perfect time to be innovating in the bike security category."
