    The kinds of purpose-built bike for existing bike sharing doesn’t have anything worth stealing, so nobody steals them despite crap locks like this. All smart locks are crap locks (See youtuber LockPickingLawyer). Try putting this on your road bike that’s worth $$$ in parts and say goodbye to it.
