Investing in an e-bike, e-trike, or e-scooter is exciting, but it’s essential to take steps to keep your ride secure. With the growing popularity of e-rides, they’ve become a target for theft. These tips will help you safeguard your investment.

1. Use a High-Quality Lock

Not all locks are created equal. For e-rides, consider:

  • Folding Locks: Compact and easy to carry while providing robust protection.When locking your ride, secure it through the frame and one wheel to an immovable object.
  • U-Locks: Durable and resistant to cutting tools.
  • Chain Locks: Flexible but strong, great for securing your bike to larger objects.

2. Park Smart

Choose safe locations for parking:

  • High-Traffic Areas: Thieves are less likely to target bikes in busy locations.
  • Designated Parking Zones: Many cities offer bike racks in monitored areas.
  • Well-Lit Spots: Visibility can deter theft, especially at night.

3. Invest in an Alarm or GPS Tracker

Some e-rides come with built-in alarms or GPS trackers, while others can be retrofitted with these features. A loud alarm can scare off would-be thieves, and GPS tracking helps locate your ride if it’s stolen.
 

4. Register Your E-Ride

Keep a record of your ride’s serial number and register it with local authorities or online services. In the event of theft, this information can be crucial for recovery.
 

5. Remove Removable Parts

If your e-bike or e-trike has easily detachable components like a battery or display screen, take them with you when leaving your ride unattended.
