March 28, 20215 yr I haven't had cause to leave my bike locked up in a public space yet, but I'm wondering if in addition to using a long D lock, a long thick cable through both wheels, and removing the battery... if I should also remove the display? It's a pain to remove - undone using one of two pairs of tiny fiddly screws, then unplugging, which might add wear and tear to the connector. How likely is it that my display would be stolen by scummy bike thieves, after they fail to defeat my D lock? Come to think of it - the motor could be detached too, if they had time and all the tools lol.
March 28, 20215 yr Unlikely, it's the whole bike they're after. Luckily, yours is a pain to remove and isn't just a clip in display.

If it's a particularly thick scummy bike thief, he might think the display is some sort of phone... but it has a lock code (assuming the code is stored on the C18 display, and not on some controller chip downwire), and would be pointless to steal. There's no way that I know, to unlock the display. Let's hope I don't get a really dim scummy bike thief...
