The brake bolt and the lock cylinder of the vehicle lock are mounted in a part of the vehicle for preventing the rotation of a wheel of the vehicle in a locked state. The brake bolt and lock cylinder are mounted in a brake bolt bore and a lock bore, respectively, located in the swing arm, the chain guard, or a lock body mounted over the axle-retaining nut. The vehicle lock engages a ventilation hole on the rotor, a ventilation hole on the sprocket, the teeth of the sprocket, or a hole on the hub to prevent rotation of the wheel in the locked state. Preferably, the lock cylinder is mounted to the vehicle in both the locked state and the unlocked state, and in the unlocked state the brake bolt is removed from the brake bolt bore for operation of the vehicle.
