Uh...$10 bicycle? Last one I bought was more like $1,000. That's the ones I think get stolen. $10 garage sale bikes don't. Your point, however is well taken. A small expensive anything that's in demand will get stolen, especially in an urban environment where a thing like this works best.

I don't see the utility of this invention unless we redesign all our cities to accomodate them. A bicycle, if you want mobility at an average 12-15 mph, is much better and you get exercise too.

Binfo! By that time the patent(s) will have expired (17 years) and anyone can manufacture and sell them. I wonder if the investors have consider that?
