I use a hiplock dx u lock for the frame, then a abus 6000 fold lock for the back wheel, and a bike mate chain for the front wheelwithout 3 locks you will come back to just a frame.

U locks comes in different lengths so can't really say you can't lock your bike to a bike rack because it won't fit, as for the foldy lock, you can break it open with a heavy duty bolt cutter or you can use a nut splitter

I thought U-locks are heavier than folding locks.

I find it funny that there are all these references here to Ebikes and Ebike locks, but not a SINGLE electric bike in this video. Why not just call them bike locks?

There must be an error, because i never heard of a "foldable chain lock". These are not chains and even if so, you dont need to fold chains because you can adjust them into whatever position you want. Should just be named "folding lock".
U-lock can be very pricey if you want the top-ones, especially against grinders. They also in many cases server way more protection than folding locks, because they have a lot more hardened steel to protect, often more than triple (typical 5mm folding lock vs typical 16mm u-lock).
