Abstract

A lock system for securing a battery of a vehicle operable by muscle power and/or motor power, in particular an electric bicycle. The lock system includes: a deadbolt which is pivotable about a bolt axis, a lock cylinder which is configured to actuate the deadbolt, and a lifting element which is coupled to the lock cylinder, the lock cylinder being movable into a holding position and into a release position, the lock cylinder in the holding position preventing a removal of the battery in a removal direction, and in the release position allowing the removal of the battery. The lifting element is configured to move the battery in the removal direction when the deadbolt is moved from the holding position into the release position.
