The design of this lock is fundamentally bad (too big, many weak joints), and the video shows the designers don't know about the somewhat famous Sheldon Brown method described in the article.
I used the Sheldon Brown method for a while. Nobody stole my bike but I gave up on it after getting a few broken spokes. A rigid lock resting on a relatively weak spoke is asking for trouble.
Let's combine a cheap seat with a bad lock and market it to hipsters...
