By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Verge ·

TMD, a company known for securing ATMs, launches a keyless bike lock priced at $280. The lock features ART-2 certification, making it insurance-friendly, and uses robust materials. However, its high cost may deter casual cyclists who can secure a bike with a $60 lock.
