im a 90% maker, 10% rider, and 100% in the knowledge that when i own a nice bike its not IF my bike will be stolen, but WHEN. I can reduce the chances, one of which was to not buy a lock! (if you dont leave it where it can be possibly stolen it never will... but this isn't possible for lots of people (i can keep mine inside the house at night time!)
but i'm moving house soon, and my privileges will fall south and i'm looking at options, one of these is to (as our american friends would say) low-jack it.
but i want to reduce the possible failings, and the last thing i want to do is forget to charge it, and have the battery go dead... so whilst i cover this issue, what features would people require from this item.
1/ does easy install matter? im thinking seat post being easy access and quite simple, plus its got the right motion line (up/down) when riding. the unit will be maintenance free when installed.
2/ how often do people ride their nice bikes... this is for recharging. if the majority only ride once a month, battery life would need to be more prevalent.
3/ what features would people require. i have a few dotted in my head, how to activate, how to give the battery a decent lifetime etc.
penny for your thoughts!

You mention that this is one of your options. I think you should discard it and focus on securing the bike so that it never is stolen. Having a chip in it really is not going to do much good. Are the bill really going to track it down? Are you? No longer keeping it in the house will increase the probability of it being stolen - but not to 100% and I think there is a lot of mitigation in security or even downgrading to a less attractive bike as you are only a 10% rider....take your pickelf on your holibobs....
