High-Tech Bike Lock

Clever.

But like hell I'm toting that 50lb hung of metal, motors, and batteries around. Probably weighs 3x what my bike does.
 
Usually it's refined for commercialization, this was just a concept I think.
 
So now instead of needing to look both ways when you cross the street, you'll also need to look up to watch for falling bicycles. Try explaining that injury to your insurance company.

Come on now! Nothing innovative happens without starting heavy and having things fall on people before it truly becomes practical. (I am only partially joking.)
 
This invention wouldn't work here because the utility companies don't want anything that impedes access to the installation or servicing of the overhead lines. Imagine a utility worker cutting that contraption off a telephone pole and the bike crashing to the ground.
 
Couldn't a clever hacker brute force the security on that wireless remote and lower the bike? Also, had this been Ben Heck in NYC doing this, the NYC police would tell him "no, but hell no" this is of course after they beat him half to death and stun gunned him a few times for laughs. So .. uh .. yeah ....
 
With my luck the thing would fail causing my bike to be catapulted to the top of the pole where it would remain for all eternity.

the utility company should invent wireless electricity LOL
 
Rain = fail ?

Batteries = fail ?

Genius though, genius. I like when he says "precision..... engineering" when the rest is in german :D
 
Its the Germans letting everyone know their still in the running for inventing high tech toys.:D
 
Knowing my luck, Someone would figure a way to knock the pole down just to steal the anti theft device.
Hmmm Ok, say you create this for the mass market. people buy it. Then the next time you park your bike up the pole you come out and there are 7 bikes below yours. Your hosed because now you have to wait for the others before you get your bike back. Or if you have friends like mine you come back and find it JB welded to the pole.

Side note. I drive a 98 pos Honda Civic hx.
times broken in to: 36
Radios stolen : 6
4 of them stock crappy honda radios with no CD player or tape player.
wheels stolen: 2
car stolen: 0
7 tries but none could drive a standard
People caught breaking in to it: 9
Low crime area, Nothing special on car. No one can figure out why it keeps getting hit.
Door handle on driver door broken from it being yanked on hard by thieves. trying to get in it that much quicker. Nice jagged sharp plastic. Have found blood on concrete next to car from them trying to get in and cutting their hands to pieces. Hell No, I'm not fixing it.

Both of these is what I first thougth of. cool in concept, but would never work in all places as in some places you can't put anything on a ultity pole be it a flyer about your lost dog or a bike. So that wouldn't work, then of course you have the problem of what if your battery dies or a motor shorts out.

Sheesh.. at this point you might as drive an empty husk of a car save for the bare essentials. It'd be pretty incredible if that still gets broken into. :(

I feel you. My Honda was just retardedly broken into on Thanksgiving night by a few loser, familyless, jobless jiggaboos. (few caught on cam, cops do nothing.... along with blood evidence from glass cutting them..... they do nothing and give you every lame excuse to not do excess police work. This is a major US city too, what a shame )

Primary target was either the

A) Entire shitty car (they were so stupid they didn't figure out the battery was disconnected, but they did open the hood for an unknown reason) .... would have been funny if they have any brains since it has an unnoticeable low profile tire with no air!

so they ended up (B) took my free semi-busted CD player, which they ganked out. Then took my busted old $50 ebay subwoofer that now worked half the time :D.

Losers.... I have my louisville and taurus ready for next time they think they're slick.
