Theft lockout.
I live in Denmark, where bike theft are more common than sleeping.
Now when I am owner of an electronic device that has a serial number, is it not possible for you to make the software able to disable the device, if report it stolen.
Then you send me an activation code, that makes me the only one to make the device funktional again.
If it is found, the service/repairshop are only able to make it work with my code?
It would make my parts worthless to anyone stealing my devices. They cannot get it serviced due to my lock. if the shop or thief connect to your website. It will then be locked by you!
Best regards
Kent

This is a brilliant idea.
I would even add to this that since this is electronic why not have a setting to disable the derailleur altogether. So it can’t shift (I guess you could remove the battery but a setting would be easier).
That way you could leave it in the hardest gear, making it very difficult for a thief to peddle.
