What do you do to prevent theft of your e-bikes/battery?

[Coffee]

Just think would you leave the cash value of your bike poorly protected
try and buy the highest rated lock you can afford
two separate locks are better than an all in one
one d lock and one chain with a separate padlock will take longer to cut through

Thanks Peter, thats sharp thinking,
I will keep this in mind when shopping.

This Haibike has been left regularly by a commuter at a station in Surrey I use for over a year without mishap, although I would not do it myself!

I am planning to buy my first e-bike for commutes soon and this is one of my biggest worries. Theft is always an issue and spare parts aren't really cheap. I am planning to use multiple locks to protect the battery and the e-bike itself but I think I will also buy an e-bike GPS tracking system.
If not removed or detected, at least it gives you the chance to get your bike back or even stop a theft attempt given there are a lot of alerts and notifications.

Good locks and always take battery with you would be my advice

Thanks for the advice, I guess that will be the smart thing to do.
I am just very forgetful sometimes and I am worried that I will forget to take the battery with from time to time. Having children and a busy work is really distracting.

Have you found a tracker that you like??

Christ! Imagine trying to unlock the bike, having to go through a process of elimination with seven keys every time.

I have actually, I know a reliable company that my friends and family use for their cars and they just added an e-bike tracking package for a really good price. https://www.rewiresecurity.co.uk/electric-e-bike-scooter-gps-tracking
This is the package I am talking about and it pretty much covers everything so I won't have to deal with the details.

That is hilarious I totally see myself doing it too. Hopefully, I will be more responsible once I buy my bike because they cost a lot of money!
