Hi everyone!
We’re a group of students from DTU (Danish Technical University), currently working on developing an innovative bike lock. As part of this project, we're assessing the potential for turning this idea into a viable business. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few moments to complete the survey below. Your feedback would be invaluable to our research.

Hard to answer, especially as I’m from Hungary, prices are different here. I’d say avarage 50-60 USD here. 8. I’d pay 50-60 USD for a good lock. 9. Fortunately not 13. More identification on bikes, registering with police (there’s an initiative for this in Hungary), using better locks and safe bike racks. 14. Over a certain level, there’s not much point in buying more expensive locks, so I’d say better insurance.
