Thanking everyone for all the help
I decided to drill the lock out witch was not an easy task finally had to use a 3/4 inch drill it took quite some time, but no damage other than the lock The battery finally came out and the lock is completely different from the one I ordered and the other similar one maybe when the new lock arrives I can adapt it.
lesson learned in this case should have taken it to a locksmith isn't hindsight great but who knows what would have happened with it being an Abus lock maybe they would have looked at it and decided it was not worth their time.

I contacted the company with serial number about getting a key they want a receipt that I don't have, should have asked when I bought it. but they would want a shop receipt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Abus-Padlock-B ... 3904606930Airbus that explains why it's so difficult to pick, and possibly locksmith would not be able to do it after me screwing around with it.
Did you notice in your link that when you scroll down there is another dif type lock for this same bike on the left?
That's why as a locksmith myself, who has mistakenly destroyed the wrong thing, I left you the above message Better luck next time
