It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Rentals could work or maybe a decent folding scooter. If you can get by at all without power, it might be worth looking at Bromptons/Brompnots or perhaps something like a Strida. There's also folding kick scooters as well as powered ones.
The Litelock X1 sounds like it would be the Ulock for you though, it's not super heavy, fairly compact, but still very cut resistant.
All that said, if everywhere you need to go is covered by rental bikes or scooters, I'd say at least start out using them to get a sense of what works best for you. There's something to be said for not worrying about maintenance, theft, or storage too.
