From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

    uLock New York lock and an air tag hidden under the seat or somewhere else sneaky. Take photos of your bike and serial number. Register it with your renters insurance or homeowners insurance. Park it in public, visible spaces. Go ride your bike! People will steal anything if they really want. All you can do is deter them

        It’s all about making it more difficult to steal, not impossible.

        Also, with a quality ulock (think ABUS, Hiplock, or even a Skunklock Chemical) it will break multiple cutting wheels before they’re able to get through (if they’re able to get through lol).

        It doesn’t need to be unstealable, it just needs to be a pain in the ass to steal, so they will move on to an easier target.

          Ohh yes, definitely. Not leaving your bike unattended, even in the best of city, is the basic rule of owning a bike.
