Orbea Ribble, or C1 conversion as lightweight options

The problem with Orbea and Ribble is that the bikes are still “live” when locked up......more stealable than removing battery on C1 or removing display on Bosch/Yamaha

The other problem is having the bring the whole bike inside for charging, rather than just the battery

Any thoughts,/ideas.....please

I have the Orbea Gain and the Ribble is the exact same x35 drive system.
My thoughts, you are correct in what you say, these are negative points.
However, the perfect ‘pedal assisted’ bike doesn’t exist, and maybe never will.
I have no regrets about buying my Orbea Gain
