Looking for a keyless lock (probably bluetooth)

[RemyS]

Hello,

I bought a Stromer ST2, and like it a lot so far, but I need a lock and can't find what I want. My previous bike was a Flyer, the key of the battery and the lock was the same so it was at least quick to use both when I arrived at home or left. Here it would mean taking the key of the lock and lock the bike, search for the key of the battery and open it, I am probably too lazy or want to save some non-important seconds, but I am sure that in 2019 I can do better.
I thought I didn't really need anything because the Stromer can't move when you lock it with the app (actually it was one of the thing that made me like it so much ), but actually it seems that even if you can lock the motor like this, it's still possible to move the bike (even if it blocks it a bit, wouldn't prevent someone from stealing it probably).
I wanted to buy the Linka smart lock in the store that sold me the bike, but it wasn't possible to install it, the tire is too fat (the Linka Leo might work but I'm not sure and it's even more expensive).
The Noke smart lock with a chain was also a possibility, but it needs that every time I need to take the chain around the bike, take the lock, put it on the chain, and the opposite every time I reach my destination. Here also, I am sure there could be much easier.
Do you know any other solution that might fit what I am looking for?

Just keep in mind the majority of smart locks are vulnerable to being hacked. Make sure you look into this before making an expensive mistake. The Bluetooth Noke was actually one that passed at DefCon a couple years ago

Unfortunately, the Noke was a terrible lock which locked out many people who couldn't get it to unlock at times

Abus
I ordered this lock a few months ago but it has yet to be available

Here is one to definitely avoid...

I'm not that worried about the "it's hackable", I would not use this to protect my home, but for my bike I think I can live with that risk, and there are other securities on my bike.
The ABUS could work, even if I would prefer something on the back of my bike that open automatically so I don't even need to touch it, but I'm not sure when it would be available, probably spring (and it's quite expensive). Seems good to have something from such a brand, rather from other ones I never heard of. Maybe they'll do something like the Linka in a near future, if they start to make smart locks it seems pretty logical to have different ones, once that they have the technology.
I also found that ilockit that could work . They put a model and the size in their website, but I fear that I can have the same problem than the Linka, that it's too small for a big tire. They talk about 2.5 inches, and I think I read the Stromer ST2 tire is 2.15, so maybe it could work? Would be great if someone could know based on these informations.
Thanks again!

BTW, for NON-SMART locks, this is by far the best cheapest U-lock (OnGuard 8000/8001 Brute) for the money, and comes in various sizes. The Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit (the king of U-locks) will run you more than twice as much for 1mm thicker shuckle (18mm vs 17mm for the OnGuard). Both defeat a hydraulic cutter and both need 2 cuts with an angle grinder (meaning taking longer for a thief to steal your bike). Be aware that ANY lock could be defeated with a portable angle grinder given enough time.

Lock discussions on an ebike forum seem to be like oil discussions on motorcycle forums. They have a life of their own, seemingly, and eternal life at that.
