I have one of these. The Achilles’ heel is the very narrow portion of the key at its end. There’s not a lot of material there, and I managed to torque it right off, leaving the tip in the lock. A locksmith was able to retrieve this fragment, but I haven’t used this lock since, reverting to the Abus cable lock that Riv is carrying again.
While I live in a high bike theft area (per my LBS) I suspect that the Riv-ness of my Hunq (diagatube, fenders, racks/basket, saddlebag, “obsolete” mechanical systems like rim brakes and friction shifting) help it hide in plain sight - by contemporary standards there’s nothing to attract the attention of the sort of professional bike thieves that can defeat pretty much any lock.
