I have 2 sets of keys and 2 cards from Abus. Does one of their folding locks fit into the storage compartment? Which one? And can we order with the personal code so we can use the same keys? Advice appreciated.
Security?

I think this one will fit, but I don't know for sure. It's also nice that it has an alarm.

Related to the topic. I have a Mosh, which does not have a storage compartment. I also already own a Kryptonite Evolution Mini 10mm Chain Lock. I wanted to be able to store this heavy chain on my bike without it banging or rubbing against any paint. I got the Topeak Aero Wedge Velcro Pack (seat post bag) in size medium and it works perfectly for this.

Thanks mudcamper! I ordered the Topeak pack. I just emailed Abus to inquire about which folding lock is best. Note that Serial 1 included an Abus personal code with 2 keys. So I want to get a lock that my existing keys will fit.

Guess if I had read the sticky post about "how to use the glovebox and safely lock your ebike", I could have answered my own question. Which I will do now. You have to find an approved Abus dealer that will custom order an Abus folding lock (either a Bordo 6000 of Bordo Lite 6050), using your personal code card barcode number, then wait 2-4 weeks for it to arrive at your dealer. Use this link to find a bike shop near you: Partners Worldwide. The result will be an Abus folding lock that will fit into the locking storage compartment in your frame, using the same key for both the lock, and the storage compartment. Clear as mud?

Update. The only Abus folding lock that they can use your key code to make matching keys is the Bordo Granit XPlus 6500. This is direct from the horse's mouth: Tyler at Serial 1. He says it will fit in the compartment.

Just confirming that my Abus Bordo 6500K Granit Xplus was keyed correctly, and fits nice and snug into the locking compartment, using the same key. I had to order it thru a bicycle shop that is an Abus dealer.

I just got my Rush City Speed this past week, so excited...yet can't ride because I have the 'rona. Sighs. I appreciate the comments about the proper lock that will fit into the glove box. I am thinking about getting an Apple Air Tag or Tile to keep in there in the event that a nefarious person somehow gets a hold of it. Then I could track it down.
I just received my Abus Bordo 6500K Granit Xplus and tried it. It does fit in the glovebox, although it is not very easy to take it out. But my main disappointment is that it is too short to take the front wheel and frame together (even without any rack to attach it to)!
So Serial 1 suggests to buy this lock because it fits in the glove box (https://support.serial1.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406176580116-How-to-Order-an-Abus-Bike-Lock), and on their Youtube channel shows how to use the glove box to store it, then what, they use a 110 cm one to show how to attach the bike to a rack with front wheel and frame in ?! (
).
Or dit I miss something? I have a Rush/Cty Large, so maybe it works on smaller bikes, but definitely not on mine.
How do you all use this lock?

It fits in the glove box much easier if you take of the rubber cover at the top of the lock, I agree its too small to wrap around the frame a wheel and a post. I am considering returning mine and getting a U-lock.
good to know, I returned my Abus Bordo 6500K Granit Xplus and looking at U locks now. My use will be primarily to secure when I run into a store or coffee shop not for leaving the bike at a bike rack or overnight, so its probably more security then I really need.

Hi all, I am new here. Yesterday I picked up my rush/cty. I also immediately mounted a ring lock on the bike, these locks are almost standard on every bike in the Netherlands. A quick securing system for your bike when you walk into a store.
The lock that fits exactly (the biggest I could find) is the Abus 4750XL, with a plug-in chain to attach your bike to something.
Maybe this will help you

Thanks for the feedback. This is very interesting indeed! I returned the Abus Bordo 6500K Granit Xplus 85cm that would have fit in the glove box and ordered a 110cm instead. I’ll attach it to the front rack or maybe put it in a panier or bag. Still like this type of lock for compactness.Hi all, I am new here. Yesterday I picked up my rush/cty.

However, I am thinking that adding the ring lock you mention, with the additional chain, can be useful for a quick errand where you can still watch your bike, and a good way to deter or slow down a potential thief when used in addition to the big foldable lock.
I am also adding an alarm system separately to the kit (some Abus locks have one integrated but they are not as robust): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BLDZN2G/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_EJTBT2JWXVPH5R7SGKK0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1.
Havent received it yet but should be able to test it this weekend.

This is what we use. It is 6’ long with 3/8” cable. It’s quick to use, I can get it around 2 bikes including both wheels on both bikes and an immovable object. It’s enough to make a thief look for an easier bike to steal. Of course we would never leave the bikes overnight anywhere. It wont fit into the glove box but can be bungeed to one of the racks or tossed in a bike mounted bag or a backpack. $22 at Lowes.

Can you include the contact info for the bike shop you used. Here in Los Angeles California......I can't find any shop that will order.
Thanks,

Silly question.....maybe. Why would you not lock the frame and REAR wheel where all the money is. IF someone stole the front wheel I'd be bummed, if the rear is stolen, you've lost the auto trans. Seems backwards if you're trying to protect the most money.

Well one thing for sure if either wheel was stolen you could not get it replaced as Serial 1 has zero parts to replace lost, stolen or damaged items with. If your going to lock up your bike outside for any length of time I suggest you use multiple locks.
