why can't there be a password lock via smartphone?

we all know that the onewheel is a heavy piece of machinery, so, instead of carrying this with us everywhere, there should be a lock that we can activate with a smartphone. There is no need for an additional hardware. Just update the firmware so the power will only be on when the user enters the password.

You're tethered to your phone in that case. If your phone battery dies, you can't ride. Many riders don't even have ios devices as well.

@sidebox, good point. Maybe if the board itself contains a password then it requires one to enable the board through the app otherwise it just starts up for anyone not wanting to use the app.
