If you can't fence the product then there's no motivation to steal it in the first place.

Naturally, this is why we should add GPS and a network connection to every device in existence. /s

Couple of big problems with this thought:

* You have to know you can't fence it. Do you think bike thieves are following exactly which e-bike models have DRM, whether it has been broken etc? I doubt it.

* It assumes that the DRM is so amazing that nobody figures out how to defeat it.

So it might be true, but it also might not.
