Compare the Kryptonite KryptoFlex 710 cable lock and Radio Flyer Cargo Net to decide which eBike accessory fits your daily ride.
Quick answer
If you park your eBike in public, start with the Kryptonite KryptoFlex 710 cable lock for wheel security. If you carry loose items on the rack, add the Cargo Net to keep them in place.
Two different jobs: security vs. storage
The Kryptonite KryptoFlex 710 Double Loop Cable and the Radio Flyer Cargo Net solve different problems. The cable lock protects your eBike from theft; the cargo net protects your gear from falling off. Choosing one over the other depends on your biggest risk each ride.
The KryptoFlex 710 is a 7-foot cable with a 10 mm braided steel core, designed to secure the front wheel when paired with a Kryptonite lock. It adds cut resistance and a vinyl cover to protect your bike's finish. The Cargo Net is a double elastic 10" x 10" net with reinforced hooks, built to secure cargo to Flyer front and rear storage accessories.
If you only carry cargo and never lock your bike outside, the cargo net is the more useful accessory. If you park at a bike rack, the cable lock is the non-negotiable first purchase.
Trade-off: security vs. storage
- Kryptonite KryptoFlex 710 cable lock: Use this when you park your eBike in public or leave it unattended. It secures the front wheel and adds cut resistance, but it does not carry gear.
- Radio Flyer Cargo Net: Use this when you carry loose items like groceries or a backpack. It secures cargo to your Flyer storage, but it offers no theft protection.
- Both together: If you ride with cargo and park outside, combine both: the net keeps your gear on the bike, and the cable lock keeps the bike where you left it. Check if your Flyer storage has attachment points for the Cargo Net before buying.

Which one fits your ride?
Best for
- Riders who park their eBike at work, school, or a public rack and need wheel security.
- Riders who carry loose cargo on Flyer storage accessories and want to keep items in place.
Not for
- Riders who only need theft protection for the frame or saddle; the cable lock secures the wheel, not the entire bike.
- Riders who carry oversized or heavy cargo; the small 10" x 10" net suits lighter, smaller items.
