The AXA SL7 and SL9 locks are protected against unintended
use. If you want to lock your bike, you must first turn the key to
the right. Only then can you push down the lever. This prevents,
for instance, that a child on the back accidentally closes the lock
during cycling. The AXA SL9 lock is fitted with an extra steel plate
attached to the seat stay that ensures that the lock – even when
it has been forced – can only be removed by demounting the rear
wheel. In practice, this often turns out to be too labour-intensive
for potential thieves.
Cable lock and Gazelle click-in chain
It is advised to always attach your bike to a bike rack or another
fixed object. This can best be done by pulling the cable through
the rack, the frame and the front wheel. If your bike is fitted with
an AXA SL9 or an SL7 lock, click-in chains are available that can be
clicked into the SL9 or SL7 lock (figs. 106 and 107).
If you have another lock, or no lock yet, we advise you to purchase
a separate ART-approved cable lock. It goes without saying that
your Gazelle dealer is happy to help you choose.
Bicycle insurance
Should your bike get stolen despite all precautions, it is comforting
if you can turn to your insurance company. Your Gazelle dealer can
inform you about the possibilities.
Transport by car
If you want to enjoy your bike a bit further away from home, you
can transport it by car. That is always at your own risk, but if you
want to do it safely ask your Gazelle dealer for a good bike carrier.
Be aware, though, that your bicycle is subjected to considerable
forces when transported on a car. Therefore, always check if there
are no components that can be blown off. With regard to this you
can think of the bike pump, bottles or bike bags, for instance. Also
upon arrival it is wise to ensure that no parts have become loose or
been damaged.

Make sure that the automatic
lights are turned off, so that
these won’t come on during
the trip. That might confuse
your fellow road users.
