There’s two things that will get your bike stolen. Having a shitter lock than everyone else or a nicer bike. I’d heavily recommend having a better lock

I have an ebike worth about $2k given it’s range and top speed. However, I only lock it to extremely secure objects, and use a 10lb, 14 mm chain to secure it. So you’ve either gotta pick the lock which took LockPickingLawyer 2 minutes to do in a vice, cut whatever it’s attached to with an angle grinder, or cut through the chain.

I doubt anyone is picking the lock, so they have to get through whatever it’s attached to, at which point the chain is still locking the awkward to carry, 100lb bike stationary. If they go for the chain I figure they’ll likely misalign the cutoff wheel at least once and it’ll explode in their face. Needless to say I don’t worry about my bike for day to day use, and if you get a similar lock setup you won’t have to either.
