Quick answer: A bike lock in Pakistan costs about Rs 500–1,500 for a basic disc or wheel lock and Rs 1,500–4,000 for an alarm lock (2026). At Bike Markaz the REGO Racing cable lock is Rs 890, the shackle lock Rs 2,500 and a remote alarm Rs 2,200–3,500. A GPS tracker adds Rs 12,000–16,000 in year one. Layer a lock, an alarm and smart parking.
Market and tracker prices in this guide were checked in September 2026 and Bike Markaz prices on 11 November 2026. All are approximate and can change.
Key takeaways
- Karachi alone reported 50,062 motorcycles stolen or snatched in 2024, and over 41,800 in the first 11 months of 2025, according to CPLC data reported in the press.
- Most Karachi bike losses are thefts, not gunpoint snatching. A good lock targets exactly that.
- A disc lock is the best value first upgrade. Always use the reminder cable so you don't ride off with it on.
- An alarm disc lock adds noise, which is the thing thieves hate most.
- A GPS tracker helps recovery, but it needs a subscription and a proper installer.
- If your bike is stolen: call 15, file an FIR, and in Karachi report to CPLC on 1102.
How Many Motorcycles Are Stolen in Pakistan?
"Bike chori se kaise bachayein?" is one of the most common questions Pakistani riders ask, and the data shows why.
Karachi (CPLC data)
- 2024: 50,062 motorcycles were stolen or snatched in Karachi, and 11,982 more went in just January–March 2025 (The News, April 2025).
- January–November 2025: 35,749 motorcycles stolen and 6,078 snatched at gunpoint (Aaj English, December 2025). ARY News reported that police could not recover even 10% of stolen items that year (ARY News).
- March 2026: 3,027 motorcycles stolen and 440 snatched (Minute Mirror).
- April 2026: 2,723 stolen and 469 snatched (ARY News).
The important pattern: for every bike snatched at gunpoint in Karachi, roughly six are stolen without anyone being held up. A lock can't stop an armed robbery (hand over the bike, your life matters more), but it can make a parked bike much harder to take.
Lahore and Punjab
Punjab police say theft is falling. A Lahore Times report on Crime Control Department claims lists motorcycle theft in Lahore dropping from 3,017 in Q1 2025 to 1,493 in Q1 2026 (Lahore Times, September 2026). Even the lower figure is more than 16 bikes a day in one city.
What Is the Bike Lock Price in Pakistan in 2026?
Here's the direct answer to "bike lock ki price kya hai?" by type:
| Security type | Price (approx.) | Stops | Weak point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built-in steering / handle lock | Included with bike | Casual pushing away | Broken in seconds with force |
| Basic unbranded disc or wheel lock | Rs 500 – 1,500 | Riding away | Soft metal, easy-pick cylinders |
| Cheap alarm lock (unbranded) | Rs 1,500 – 4,000 | Riding away, plus noise | Battery and build quality vary |
| Coiled cable lock (REGO Racing Cable Lock for Bike with 2 Keys) | Rs 890 at Bike Markaz | Casual theft at short stops, a second lock for the helmet or wheel | Cable cuts faster than a hardened chain or shackle |
| Remote motorcycle alarm (REGO Racing R-310, R-320, R-340 and others) | Rs 2,200 – 3,500 at Bike Markaz (bike electrical parts) | Noise on a shock; most of the kits list an engine immobiliser | Needs wiring by a mechanic; draws on the bike battery |
| Chain lock (hardened, with padlock) | Varies widely by thickness | Lifting and carrying the bike | Heavy to carry; thin chains cut easily |
| U-lock (shackle lock), e.g. REGO Racing Motorcycle Shackle Lock | Rs 2,500 at Bike Markaz; other brands vary | Lifting and carrying the bike | Needs a fixed object that fits |
| GPS bike tracker | Rs 12,000 – 16,000 first year; about Rs 6,000 – 8,000 per year after | Helps recovery after theft | Subscription; thieves search for it |
| Hidden kill switch / immobiliser | Depends on your mechanic | Starting the engine | Must be wired properly |
Sources: unbranded ranges are from OLX Pakistan listings, tracker prices from provider pages (below), REGO prices from the Bike Markaz catalogue on 11 November 2026. Chain and U-lock quality varies too much for one honest price range, so judge them by chain thickness and lock quality.

How Do You Protect a Bike From Theft in Pakistan?
Thieves pick the easiest bike in the row. Your goal is to make yours slower, noisier and riskier than the one next to it. Think in five layers:
- Visible deterrent. A bright disc lock on the front brake tells a thief "this one takes longer."
- Physical lock. A disc lock stops the wheel turning. A chain or U-lock to a pole stops the bike being lifted into a Suzuki pickup.
- Alarm. Noise draws attention, and attention is the last thing a thief wants.
- Tracker or immobiliser. Helps recovery, or stops the engine starting.
- Parking habits. Where you park matters as much as the lock.
A 10-minute bakery stop needs layers 1, 2 and 5. A new CG 125 or YBR parked overnight in Gulshan or Johar Town deserves all five.
How Do You Choose a Disc Lock for a Bike?
A disc lock for a bike clamps onto the brake disc and pushes a steel pin through one of its holes. If someone tries to roll or ride the bike, the pin hits the brake caliper or fork and the wheel stops. It's the best-value first lock for most riders.
Note for drum-brake bikes: many CD 70 and older CG 125 models have drum brakes with no front disc. A disc lock won't fit these. Use a chain lock through the wheel or a wheel lock designed for spokes instead.
Why you need a reminder cable
The biggest disc lock mistake is forgetting it's on. Riders who ride off with the lock on report "a big bang often paired with a damaged brake disc or caliper" after a few millimetres of movement (Motorcycle News). On a busy road it can also mean a fall. A reminder cable is a bright coiled cord from the lock to your handlebar, so you can't miss it when you get on. Clip it on every time.
Pin size vs disc holes
- The pin must pass through one of your disc's holes. Pin sizes vary: Motorcycle News lists examples from a 5.5 mm pin to a 14 mm pin (Motorcycle News).
- A thicker pin is harder to cut, but it won't fit small holes.
- Measure a disc hole and compare it with the pin size on the product page.
If you're unsure, measure the hole with a ruler or ask your mechanic before buying.
Front or rear disc?
- Front disc: most common, and highly visible, which adds deterrence.
- Rear disc: harder for a thief to attack, but less visible.
- Fit the lock as close to the caliper as practical so the wheel can barely move before the pin hits.
Alarm Disc Lock: Is It Worth It?
An alarm disc lock is a disc lock with a motion sensor and siren built in. Move the bike and it sounds off. It adds the one thing a plain lock can't: noise.
It's worth it if you park where people can hear it (office, university, market). Things to know:
- It runs on batteries. A dead battery means it's just a plain disc lock.
- Cheap unbranded alarm locks vary a lot in build quality. Check the lock body, not just the siren.
Before buying any alarm disc lock, check the alarm volume, battery type and pin size in the seller's listing. If you don't need the alarm, a plain disc lock is the simpler option.
A wired bike security alarm (with remote, fitted to the bike's electrics) is a different product and needs a qualified mechanic to install it. Bike Markaz sells REGO Racing remote alarm kits at Rs 2,200 to Rs 3,500 (November 2026); the R-310, R-320 and R-340 boxes list a shock sensor, siren and engine immobiliser.
Which Lock Is Best for Overnight Parking: Chain or U-Lock?
Two people can still lift a disc-locked bike into a pickup. For overnight parking, tie the bike to something fixed.
Chain lock for bike
- Choose a hardened steel chain with thick links and a fabric sleeve.
- Pass it through the frame or swingarm, not just the wheel.
- Wrap it around a fixed pole, grille or ground anchor.
- Keep the chain off the ground.
- Thin wire and cable locks cut quickly. Our REGO Racing cable lock (Rs 890) is a light second layer for a short stop or for locking a helmet, not a substitute for a chain or shackle overnight.
U-lock
A U-lock is rigid and lighter than a long chain, but only works if the U fits around the bike and a fixed object together. Our REGO Racing Motorcycle Shackle Lock (Rs 2,500) is a sleeved steel U-shackle lock.
Best combo for Karachi and Lahore: a disc lock on the front wheel plus a chain from the frame to a fixed object. They need different tools and more time.
How Much Does a Bike Tracker Cost in Pakistan?
A GPS bike tracker is a small device hidden in the bike that sends its location to an app or a control room. It won't stop a theft, but it can help with recovery.
Tracker prices from named providers (approximate)
| Provider | First year (approx.) | After first year (approx.) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-Tracking, Silver package | Rs 15,000 (device, installation and 12 months service) | Rs 6,000 per year | etracking.pk |
| AlphaTrack, Standard | Rs 12,000 | Rs 6,500 per year | alphatrack.pk |
| AlphaTrack, Premium | Rs 16,000 | Rs 8,000 per year | alphatrack.pk |
Prices as listed on provider pages when checked in September 2026. Approximate, can change, and discounts come and go.
A PakWheels comparison from July 2025 also lists self-install GPS units from around Rs 3,400 to Rs 15,000. Cheaper units may need your own SIM and have no control room.
Before you buy a tracker
- Subscription: budget for the yearly renewal.
- Installation: have it fitted by the provider or a qualified mechanic.
- Hiding place: PakWheels notes that thieves often know common tracker spots, such as under the seat, and remove the device (PakWheels). Ask for a less obvious spot.
- Privacy: a tracker records where you go. Check who sees the data, and never track someone else without consent.
Hidden kill switch or immobiliser
A hidden switch that cuts the ignition stops a thief starting the bike, but have a qualified mechanic wire it. A bad connection can leave you stranded. Bike Markaz doesn't offer installation.
Where Should You Park a Bike in Karachi or Lahore?
Your parking habits cost nothing and make the biggest difference.
- Park in lit, busy places.
- Use attended parking and keep the token. Paid parking at markets and hospitals is worth the fee.
- Lock to a fixed object. A pole, railing or grille.
- Remove the key, every time. Even for a few seconds at a shop. PakWheels notes it takes only seconds for a thief to start a bike left with the key in (PakWheels).
- Don't leave your papers in the bike. Papers left in the bike make it easier for a thief to sell it.
- Cover the bike at home. A bike cover hides the model; run your chain lock through its lock hole. Sizes and prices are in our bike cover price in Pakistan guide.
- Keep a record. Photograph your bike, number plate, and engine and chassis numbers, and save them on your phone. You'll need them for an FIR.
Delivery riders (Foodpanda, Bykea, Careem): keep a disc lock in your bag and use it at every drop-off where you lose sight of the bike.
What to Do If Your Bike Is Stolen
Move fast. Stolen bikes are often moved out of Karachi "within minutes or hours", according to a senior police officer quoted by The News.
- Call police on 15 immediately with your number plate, make, colour and location.
- File an FIR at the police station for that area. Take your papers, CNIC and bike photos, and keep a copy of the FIR.
- Karachi: report to CPLC. CPLC's helplines are 1102, 021-35662222 and 021-35682222. Give at least the registration number, make, colour and place of the incident. CPLC advises also informing Police 15 control (CPLC).
- Check the Excise record. You can look up a registration number on the Excise Sindh vehicle verification page or Punjab's MTMIS online verification. These are also useful when buying a used bike, to confirm the details match the papers.
- Punjab: if your complaint isn't handled, the Punjab Police IGP Complaint Center takes complaints by SMS and call on 1787 and online (Punjab Police).
- Tracker users: contact your tracker company's control room and share the FIR number. Don't try to recover the bike yourself.
- Tell your insurer if you have cover, and do it quickly.
Does Bike Insurance Cover Theft in Pakistan?
Yes, some motorcycle policies in Pakistan include theft. For example:
- Jubilee General Takaful Motorcycle Comprehensive Takaful lists "burglary, housebreaking and theft" as covered. It says an immediate notice to the police is mandatory in case of theft, and a 15% deductible applies for theft or snatching (Jubilee General).
- EFU General Takaful Motorcycle Comprehensive Takaful also lists "burglary house-breaking or theft" (EFU).
Read the policy terms before you buy. Deductibles, claim documents (usually including the FIR) and conditions vary.
What Is the Best Bike Lock in Pakistan for Your Parking?
| Your situation | Recommended setup | Approx. cost |
|---|---|---|
| Short stops, tight budget | Disc lock (always use a reminder cable) | Rs 500–1,500 (unbranded) |
| Office or university parking | Alarm disc lock | Rs 1,500–4,000 (unbranded) |
| Overnight street parking | Alarm disc lock + chain or U-lock to a fixed object + cover | Alarm lock + Rs 2,500 (REGO shackle lock) or a chain + cover |
| New bike in a high-theft area | All of the above + GPS tracker | Add Rs 12,000–16,000 first year |
| Delivery rider | Disc lock in your bag, key out at every stop | Rs 500–1,500 |
The best bike lock in Pakistan is the one you'll actually use every time.

FAQs: Bike Lock Price in Pakistan
What is the bike lock price in Pakistan in 2026?
A basic unbranded bike or motorcycle lock costs about Rs 500 to Rs 1,500 in Pakistan and a cheap alarm lock about Rs 1,500 to Rs 4,000 (checked September 2026). At Bike Markaz the REGO Racing cable lock is Rs 890, the REGO Racing shackle lock Rs 2,500 and a REGO remote alarm Rs 2,200 to Rs 3,500 (November 2026).
Which is the best bike lock in Pakistan?
For most riders, a solid disc lock with a reminder cable is the best value first lock. For longer parking, add an alarm disc lock and a chain lock through the frame to a fixed object. The best lock is the one you use every time.
Is an alarm disc lock worth it?
Yes, if you park where people can hear it, such as offices, markets or streets. The alarm adds noise that scares thieves, but it runs on batteries, so check them regularly.
Why do disc locks come with a reminder cable?
The reminder cable links the disc lock to your handlebar so you can't forget it. Riding off with a disc lock on can damage the brake disc or caliper and can cause a fall.
Will a disc lock fit a CD 70?
Many CD 70 and older CG 125 models have drum brakes with no disc, so a disc lock will not fit. Use a chain lock through the wheel and frame instead. Check your bike before buying.
How much does a bike tracker cost in Pakistan?
Provider packages cost about Rs 12,000 to Rs 16,000 for the first year including installation and service, then around Rs 6,000 to Rs 8,000 per year to renew, based on E-Tracking and AlphaTrack prices checked in September 2026.
What should I do if my bike is stolen in Karachi?
Call 15 immediately, file an FIR at the local police station, and report to CPLC on 1102 or 021-35662222 with your registration number, make, colour and place of the incident. Inform your tracker company and insurer if you have them.
Does bike insurance cover theft in Pakistan?
Some comprehensive motorcycle policies do. Jubilee General and EFU motorcycle comprehensive takaful both list theft cover. Jubilee applies a 15% deductible for theft and requires immediate notice to the police.
