The sale and the use of electric bikes are growing at a rapid rate all around the world,
especially in Europe. These modern bikes are popular with people who wouldn’t
otherwise go for conventional cycling. Plus, so many people prefer to commute by
car to save time and e-bikes can be suitable substitutes.
The price, battery life and the weight are important factors for a buyer, but there is
still limited understanding of an electric bike protection. Here we investigate some
theft protection issues e-bike owners face, and provide some solutions.
E-bike as one of the most popular means of transportation is an everyday sight on
bicycle lanes these days. But the question is, how much do you invest in a decent
lock? Is it worth it? The answer is quite simple. Pay a per cent of the cost of the bike
for a lock. This is the very first thing you can do to protect it from theft. Remember
not to lock a bike with chains, folding locks or cables as they are easily defeated by
simple hand tools. The very basic and secure way is to use U-locks or D-ones, and
make sure the front wheel is locked, as well. With the right lock, you feel safer
because you have spent a lot of money and would like to have your bike for a long
time, but sometimes nothing can stop a thief, even the best lock ever made. So, let’s
see what other ways there are to keep our special bike safe and sound.
GPS trackers are good options attached to bikes and with the applications, the owner
can trace the bike and alert the police, but the drawback of GPS trackers is that, the
police usually don’t spend much time looking for your e-bike.
So far, two necessary ways of theft protection were introduced, none of which can
be enough, and even both at the same time cannot make you relieved. Here is where
insurance matters, something which can not only protect it from theft, but also have
it safe in accidental damage. You should find the best e-bike insurance you need
because These bikes are expensive to buy and without the right insurance, you may
have to pay a lot to repair damage or raise money to buy another after a theft
However, even the best insurance policies will not cover everything. One of the
exclusions is a theft where you have not taken appropriate action to secure your bike
properly, and most insurers accept a claim only when the bike has been protected
using an approved lock
To be honest and to tell the truth, your bike is still in danger and hungry eyes are set on your lovely bike. In a word, just don’t leave your bike somewhere not visible,
take extra precautions and don’t forget you are the owner of an expensive bike, so
even at home or in your garage, lock it up
The most frequent and secure ways were introduced and we hope you enjoy riding your electric bikes and keep them safe for years
