An unstealable bike?

[Nirmala]

This is a unique approach to making a bike difficult or almost impossible to effectively steal:

I could see combining this with a removable electric assist like the new ShareRoller:

The result would be an ideal commuter bike that you securely could lock up while taking just your battery and motor inside with you. I love these new approaches to the form of the bicycle!

The sharerooler seems like it would wear the tire like a training roller does. Being made out of polyurethane helps but I would have to see it to believe their statement that it does not wear the tire.

Yeah, it is hard to say now how well this will actually work. I intend to use the smallest version just on the steeper/longer hills around here to boost my range and avoid overheating the hub motor on my Magnum Ui5, so hopefully even if the roller does cause some tread wear, it won't matter at the rate I will be using it.

Very neat! I agree the combo of the two would be nice
