The new Slapstick Smart Bicycle Lock is a playful take on a utilitarian bike lock that is made with inspiration from the look and function of the children's slap-band toy. It is a smart lock that wraps around the bicycle frame in a belt-like mechanism. It is simple to use and snaps right in place by automatically wrapping around the bicycle.
It has a smart hub that helps with securing the lock and removing it without the need for a key. It snaps in place with the help of a metal stub at the bottom that twists to lock the Slapstick Smart Bicycle Lock in place. Once it is locked, it opens up using the button at the top with a secured fingerprint reader built-in.
