I'm starting to build an eTrike for myself and an eBike for a friend.
Just wondering.. are their any special methods for protecting your bike from theft? Something like preventing the motor from running or creating excessive resistance unless you enter a code. How about a lock for the motor?
Has anyone ever had their batteries stolen off the bike? I am unable to bring my trike upstairs to my apartment so I'll have to lug the batteries off the trike every time I want to ride or charge them. I guess a thief wouldn't enjoy carrying (in my case) 46lbs of batteries around, but I'm curious if it happens.
I'm planning on installing a GPS tracking unit hidden on the trike, but I'd rather stop the thief before going to that extreme.
How are you guys protecting your eBikes?
