I agree. Also some guy posted this handcuff masterlock a week or so ago. I'm not sure if it is better than a U lock BUT it has guarantee it works, and they will cover up to $3,500 of stolen bike/scooter if it is broken. That would give me some piece of mind.
Heard good things about these as well. If someone really wants your shit, and comes prepared, they’re going to get it. Grinder/sawzall would easily defeat damn near anything.
The Masterlock street cuff locks are pretty damn good. But, if someone really wants to steal your stuff they will come prepared with a grinder, sawzall, bolt cutters, plasma torch, etc.
Have you considered one of these? My coworker has a $2000+ bike and he locks it up with something similar. Im not sure the exact model of his lock. I was wondering if it was more or less secure than a u lock.

Very convenient, and a few youtube lockbusters seemed to have a lot of trouble picking it and took a long time to break it with an angle grinder. Get a few strange looks though locking up at the hospital where I work with giant handcuffs.
I use Master Lock Street Cuffs. Its like a gigantic pair or handcuffs, but with a unique key. The reliability can be assured by lubricating the lock mechanism to prevent pin friction wear. The price is very affordable on Amazon.

Thanks! I'll look into BikeLink!
Yes, it's both the weight and the dimensions. The Dart has a really spacious deck. Nice for riding, a bit awkward for maneuvering. I hear ewheels is coming out with trolley wheels soon. That may help a bit, but I still think it's too large to take in most places. It's fine for stairs at home --> to work, though. Certainly not something I'll be stashing under the table at a restaurant like I did with the Glion.
Wheels are mostly covered, so locking through them is out with any serious lock. I got StreetCuffs based on somebody's recommendation here, and I think they'll work out well enough. I think the best place to lock will be around the little neck between the deck and the actual pole, right around where the foot pedal to fold is. If I fold it up, it would be impossible to even unfold the thing with the cuffs on. A U-Lock could work in this area as well.
These are the StreetCuffs: https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Street-9-Hardened-8290DPS/dp/B0009V1WQQ/
I didn't get the rapid charger. It does take awhile to charge, but so far the battery has lasted as much as I've needed it to in a day and I'm content to just let it charge overnight.
Good luck with whatever you choose! I really do love the Dart - if you can find a way to live around the size, it is a fantastic ride for the price!

These are pretty sweet and not that easy to get through unless you bring some serious tools!
