I’m confused by this one too - cant the lock just slide in between the two motors allowing the entire board to be taken? I’m assuming there is something out of view here.

Also, I do see the security ‘star’ pattern - but can the trucks be taken off normally? (I’d be fearful of bolt cutters too)

Ever since discovering lockpickinglawyer I just feel so unsecure lol. Is this the same lock? [458] Kryptonite "Lockdown" Bicycle Cable Lock Picked - YouTube

Though admittedly I just have general levels of anxiety that can’t be rationalized when it comes to being out of eye sight of my board in public.

What is the point of that security torx screw? Doesn’t it just make things marginally less convenient?

abusfullofnuns · June 17, 2021, 5:02am

You’re not getting it out without the safety bit. Most people wouldn’t carry one or know where to get it.

I don’t think he’s looking for Fort Knox, just trying to not be convenient.

Security SUCKS, it’s pretty rare to see someone have a set of security Torx bits in their go bag

Will do, just driving

glyphiks · June 17, 2021, 5:11am

Can confirm. I work on building sites every day and even the tradies never have security torx bits

Cyanoacrylate · June 17, 2021, 5:12am

@abusfullofnuns I’m aware of what a security screws are, I’m just not convinced it would significantly decrease the odds of the thing being jacked. I think you’re right in saying he’s not trying to go all out on security, so maybe I’m just missing the point. I was just thinking that if someone was actually determined to steal that thing, I doubt that screw would make an ounce of difference.

goodmove · June 17, 2021, 5:14am

I tend to agree. It’s kind of cool, but it’s much easier to just cut the cord on that lock instead of messing with the screw.

Cyanoacrylate · June 17, 2021, 5:17am

yea, i mean there’s a lot of options really, you could just take off the back trucks, hacksaw that crossbar thing, or like you said, disarm the lock somehow.

I guess if it provides piece of mind, that’s all that’s important though.

glyphiks · June 17, 2021, 5:20am

Guys, this argument is redundant. I’m sure Phil just locks it up like this while he ducks into the pub for a sneaky few.

Chances of some random thief cruising around eith boltcutters/grinder/security torx bits in the short timeframes this board would be left outside are slim.

Confirmed, I carry a lock pick but no Torx security bits.

Now I know what needs to happen…

Thats sick, beautifull work! How big will the battery box become?

I’m sure if you had a cool greens superintendent they would let you it is electric and lighter than a golf cart

There’s never really an “anti-theft” for anything, it’s basically all just theft deterrent. In the mighty words of the Lock Picking Lawyer, anyone who is determined enough will find a way through. Thieves are mainly opportunists, not bank robbers, inconvenience is a wonderful deterrent . Just my two cents (still don’t trust anyone enough to leave my board unattended though…)

Edit: I understand your point about the screw and agree partially but it’s a simple mod

Depends which battery I have fitted on any given day.
