Since this unit is a wired unit, does that mean you can't remove the computer when you leave your bike outside a store or resturant?

The computer/display unit is easily removed by turning it 90 degrees and lifting from the bike mount. By the way, I've been using for 2-3 weeks and I really like it. I get everythingh I need as a casual bike rider. It seems to be very accurate as well

No, it is really easy to take off. The wire is attached to the base of the unit which the computer twists in and out of. It actually comes out so easy that I accidentally knocked it to the ground my first ride. I wasn't very careful taking it off.

You can still remove the computer itself, only the computer MOUNT must remain on the bike as the wire attaches to this.

Absolutely not! It has a bayonnette mount, which means a simple twist locks it onto the base, which is mounted to the bike. Another twist and it's off! Tuck it into your pocket and away you go!

Yes you can. You must use your computer with the USB key-fob and disable the appropriate sensor according to the code as printed thereon. Then, if you want you must remove its battery, although that is not necessary. Finally, when you are done on the computer, you must sink the USB-fob with the base station. Theoretically you can also do all this using the entry keypad unit, but I have never done that, because using a computer is much more convenient.

sure hold up the laptop, but if you trying to moved away from you ,it's unstable and your computer may fall

No, the processor in the laptop is integrated into the motherboard, so it can't be removed.

You are to remove it from it's location and plug it in in a location outdoors or away from where people are.

Not really. I run a cable lock around the right axle of the rear wheel (inside the chain guard). It would be time-consuming for a thief to unbolt the rear wheel and remove the chain. Of course, they could just cut the cable lock regardless, but then the value of the scooter is significantly less than that of a good bicycle.

You can leave it on if you want. There is no real need to turn the power off unless you just want save energy (and I suppose increase the lifespan of the product) but even if you do want to turn it would be fine to wait until the computer is off. As far as mounting it shouldn't be necessary, it is an external drive in its own enclosure. Just set it on top of your computer or somewhere out of the way. If you meant that in a software sense the answer is still no mounting necessary. It should be totally plug-n-play, though with any storage device it is a good idea to "eject" the drive before unplugging it while your computer is on. Hope that helps

There is a place where you can attach a lock to it, such as a Kensington lock cable. I don't have the dock available to me at this moment, so I can't verify that it will prevent the laptop from being removed.

The computer is designed to have the wireless sensor directly underneath it on the front wheel. If you put your bike on a trainer, with the sensor on the rear wheel, the wireless signal will not transmit to the computer. My computer stops receiving the wireless signal when I move it 2 feet away from the sensor. Unless you want to mount the computer over the rear wheel, I recommend looking for a wired bike computer with a long enough wire

Not that I'm aware of. Didn't see anything about it in the owner's manual. it is wireless so you could take it off the wall and hide it.

This computer is wired, which just means that there is a wire running out of the sensor, which winds around the front fork of the bicycle up to the computer itself, which is mounted on your handlebars. The advantage is that you only need the battery in the computer, which will power the sensor. Wireless computers consist of 2 separate units. The computer is mounted on the handlebars, as before, but the sensor now sits alone on the front fork. Instead of sending its information to the computer via the wire, it sends it wirelessly, so there is no need for the wire running up the fork. The disadvantage is that you now need a second battery in the sensor to power it. As to which is better - whether for a novice or anyone else - I think it's a matter of preference, like with computer mice. Do you mind the cable connecting the mouse to the computer and want to get rid of it at all costs? Or does the thought of needing another set of ecologically poisonous batteries turn the decision against another wireless product? I do have to say, however, that the reports seem to indicate that the battery life is long.

Not if you want to mount the computer itself to the handle bars. The wire is to short to reach the back tire.

Once you flip it to the on position it stays there until you return it to the off position. As for the computer it could with the proper wiring

no it does not lock so it depends where you leave your bike if you need to worry about it.

Not likely. The portion outside the laptop has shoulder that keeps it away from the laptop.

No. I can not see anywhere that one could attach any type of connection. I'm sure there are some higher priced bicycle computers that can be hooked to a PC

You can remove from your vehicle. And it will need to be plugged in to outlet to function
