Every 2-wheeled vehicle obviously possesses particular characteristics which make it more or less suitable for the needs of the user. However, let’s see what real advantages could be derived from purchasing a pedal-assisted bike.

ELECTRIC SCOOTER? HOW TO PREVENT THEFT
The advantages of an electric scooter include its compactness and transportability, which allow it to be taken inside various public and private buildings without taking up too much space, avoiding the classic stress of parking and the fear of theft. However, there are some circumstances in which, at least for now, it is not possible to take the scooter with you.
That’s why we’ve decided to carry out some tests for you. In fact, despite the fact that many types of anti-theft devices designed for bicycles, mopeds and motorbikes can be found on the market, there are currently no solutions specifically designed for electric scooters.
Viro Chains vs. Imitation Chains: Salt Spray and Cut and Impact Resistance Tests
In the last article, after outlining the characteristics of the 3 resistance tests to which the security items are subjected (if you have any doubts about it please have a look at this link), we focused on the results of these tests on Viro padlocks and compared them to the imported items.
EBIKE 2020: HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST MODEL
With today’s post, we want to shed light on ebike 2020 models available on the market.
ELECTRIC BIKES OR PEDAL-ASSISTED BIKE?
E-bikes are the greenest vehicle of the year and, in a not far distant future, post-coronavirus, they could become one of the most highly appreciated means of transport in large towns.
But what really sets an e-bike apart from a car or public transport? Why shouldn’t we buy a moped or merely a conventional bicycle?
Are you, too, risking one of these 6 errors when you lock up your bike?
Going to work by car? Using public transport? Or relying on a bicycle? The world is increasingly trying to be environmentally-sustainable and, especially in easily accessible city centres (such as Bologna), cycling is a “must”. One of the main curses for urban cyclists is that of thefts.
Stealing a bike is relatively easy because – unlike cars and motorcycles – they don’t have a number plate or a registered owner; so it is very important to protect it properly, to discourage theft as much as possible. Unfortunately, however, there are still many cyclists who lock up their bikes in such a clumsy manner that they make life particularly easy for thieves, even the less well equipped ones.

MOTORBIKE, MOPED AND SECURITY: THE TOP 3 (PART 1)
After having set out the Top 3 of the Viro Made in Italy anti-theft devices for bicycles (see this blog) today, as promised, we will answer the question: “What’s top of the Viro range for motorcycle and moped security?”.

Security for your two-wheeled vehicles: Viro product classification (Part 2)
Whether it’s a motorcycle, a moped or a bicycle, when we decide to protect our 2-wheeled vehicles we are not always able to adequately compare the security items we have in front of us. In fact, every security product of the “2Ruote” range has its own characteristics which make it more or less suitable for our vehicle. If you have already read our article “Saving on security, is it really worth it?”, where we talk about the right proportion between the value of the item to be protected and the value of the security item used to do so, and also the first part of the classification “Security for your two-wheeled vehicles: Viro product classification (Part 1)“, then you are ready for this second part.

Security for your two-wheeled vehicles: Viro product classification (Part 1)
Choosing a security product to protect our two-wheeled vehicle, i.e. a chain, a disc lock or an alarm, may not always be as easy as it seems. In fact, every security product of the 2Ruote Viro family offers a more or less high level of protection and adapts differently to the needs of the vehicle, whether it is a motorcycle, a moped or a bicycle. Therefore, before making the purchase, after answering the fundamental question “What do I intend to protect?”, which we talked about in the article “Saving on security, is it really worth it?”, what we need to pay attention to, apart from the costs, are the characteristics of the security product.
