Rad Fat Tire Wheel Lock experience

[Veggyhed]

Has anyone purchased the fat tire wheel lock from Rad especially to a rad runner plus?
I have wanted one of these Cafe locks for a long time and they are extremely beneficial to commuters.
How easy are they to install?
What's your user experience with the lock?
Do they rattle while riding?

I don't think they make them for fat tires yet.  But they are very popular in Europe.  When I lived in Amsterdam many bikes had them.  My wife had one and they look very easy to install and there is no noise. 

BUT you should be concerned with the battery being stolen.  Some riders take their batteries with them.  Some battery versions are very easy to steal.

Tomorrow's the last day to get some money off the rad fat tire lock.
I also found out this lock won't fit my bike the rad runner plus.

If they fit that would be great.  Much more convenient locks if they would fit.
Good Luck

I just pulled the lock. I know I have a rad runner Plus and it's not supposed to fit but I think I found a way to make the frame / Cafe lock work.
Here are the instructions for the lock https://radpowerbikes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/13543448514203-Rad-Fat-Tire-Wheel-Lock-and-Security-Chain-installation-instructions
Click the link for the installation instructions.

And then on Amazon I found this product byAbus that I think will work. I realize this is a little bit of an expensive experiment but I really want a frame lock.
