You may well opt to cut your loss, dum blades are razor sharp; not the best bang for your buck, hoss.

i think it would be cheaper to just put a thick heavy lock on the spoke and the motor chain that will make sure it never gets messed with
well im going to buy a towing chain for a truck and use it as a lock try and take it then
So, you spend close to $150~200 for a hardcore chain with acceptable length & lock, on top of your $400~500 or more motorized bicycle... and then I just pay $140 for this portable angle grinder plus the cost of two batteries (in case I forget to charge them the night before) and own your bad arse bike.The only 2 things I can think of that will get past this, is a blow torch and angle grinder,but not bolt cutters cos the cutting edge is inferior to the steel hardness of the chain and lock, according to a locksmith.
This is my favorite thing about buying the folding bike from Five Flags (even tho I've had one problem with the gearbox & one problem with the motor... had to pay shipping there both times, one time both ways), there is a handle that comes off of this metal plate that the engine is mounted on the rack. Hard to describe it, but there are 4 bolts holding this plate to the rack. If I disconnect those bolts, I can "carry" the engine away so long as the chain, throttle, etc. are also disconnected. Can see crummy pics here: http://fiveflagsmotorbikes.com/GasFoldingBike.htmI live on a second story and carry my bike up 2 flights of stairs and though it isnt heavy its very akward to carry.

Not that I would really do it, but somebody could... which means I'd rather not leave it outside.
