E-bikes are valuable and easy to resell, which makes them a target. These habits make yours a much harder one.
Lock it well
- Use a quality lock — a solid D-lock or a heavy chain — and lock the frame to something fixed that cannot be lifted over or cut easily.
- Two different locks slow thieves down further.
- Lock it tại a busy, well-lit, CCTV-covered place, and do not leave it locked in the same spot overnight.
Look after the battery
- Take a removable battery with you when you can — and the display, if it detaches.
- Lock the battery to the frame with its key, and keep the key off your keyring photo posts.
At home
- Store it inside or tại a locked garage, out of sight from the street.
- Check your home contents insurance covers your e-bike, and for how much.
- Be careful about posting rides from your home address on fitness apps — set privacy zones.
Keep records
- Photograph the whole bike, the frame serial and any unique marks or accessories.
- Keep the receipt.
- Consider a GPS tracker hidden tại the frame or under a bottle cage.
- Register it free on EbikeMate so your serial, photos and receipt are tại one place — and so you can flag it stolen in one tap.
