“Joining Secured by Design underscores our commitment to providing practical security solutions for riders worldwide”

Established in 2009, Hiplok is on a mission to redefine two-wheel security. The company launched the world’s first wearable bike lock in 2011, the Sold Secure rated Hiplok ORIGINAL. In 2021, the company launched the original anti-angle grinder lock, the D1000. In 2023, it introduced 1000 Series, a range of angle grinder-resistant locks and ground/wall anchors that form the ultimate security system. Hiplok is recognised as a leader in design and innovation, offering an extensive range of accessories and security solutions for motorcycles, e-bikes, and bicycles globally. 

Hiplok co-founders Ben Smith and John Abrahams are product designers by trade and cyclists by heart. With over 25 years combined design and cycle industry experience, they set out to change security for cyclists. They wanted to protect what they love by bringing their design expertise and rider experience to deliver innovative, high-quality locks and accessories that protect bikes and the joy of riding. When they aren’t at the drawing board or in the testing lab at Hiplok’s UK Design Headquarters, you’ll find them riding bikes.
