“I pre-ordered 3 new Hiplok D1000 bicycle locks online directly from Hiplok website on May 26, 2022, prior to full US commercial release. Hiplok was offering them at a 10% discount for pre-orders and they expected delivery by August, but COVID-19 global supply chain delays occurred and the 3 new locks arrived 4 months later on September 27, 2022. This delay was acceptable to me and I’m glad that I waited because the locks are certainly impressive. They are very solid, well-designed, easy to use and very secure. I recommend Hiplok D1000 to everyone!”
“Bought the lock for HD Breakout. Try putting it on the rear wheel no luck, works only in the front wheel and not happy about that. I would prefer locking rear wheel then front wheel makes it more hard to move the bike. Maybe make a universal motorcycle rear wheel lock, little bit longer. Overall great quality and built.”
“Summary: Good, but needs to be 2-3 cm longer (bigger internal dimensions)
Update:
Lock arrived a while back and looks well ( no attempts to steal my e-bike yet, that I know of)
The internal dimensions are however quite short, partic for ebikes which tend to have a larger frame.
I did consider sending it back. If there had been a model 3cm longer internally, I would have swapped it immediately.
I now need to use Google Street view before I go places, to check they will have Sheffield type bikes stands, as due to the short internal dimensions, locking to metal fences etc is no longer usually an option (my prev u lock was c2 cm longer and was generally fine.).
I now also have the hassle of always traveling with a backup cable lock all the time, as I can't be guaranteed that I will be able to use the d1000.
Summary: Good, but needs to be 2-3 cm longer (bigger internal dimensions). Maybe hold off is you have an ebike with a bigger frame

Orig review
Still have not received the lock I ordered.
(Hiplok have prompted me by email to give a review, so this is it)”
