I seriously doubt any kind of DRM is going to dissuade bike thieves. It hasn't really worked for phones has it?

- IshKebab 10mo ago> If you can't fence the product then there's no motivation to steal it in the first place. Couple of big problems with this thought: * You have to know you can't fence it. Do you think bike thieves are following exactly which e-bike models have DRM, whether it has been broken etc? I doubt it. * It assumes that the DRM is so amazing that nobody figures out how to defeat it. So it might be true, but it also might not.
