Considering converting a bicycle as the benefits sound awesome.
I'm wondering though, since some of the places I need to go I would have to lock up the bike, won't it just be stolen? Sure a good lock etc. But, with a $500 or more battery on it- wouldn't that be a thief's dream?
What do you do to secure your bicycle? I've thought about removing the battery, and carrying it. Pretty heavy, I'd imagine. Is this viable? Am I adding risk to damaging by battery carrying it around in a back back all day.
What about an alarm? I can't imagine this is workable. I just picture it blasting away in the bike when/if disturbed- even accidentally.
A tracker perhaps? But then this is after the fact.
I need to go to work. No problem there, I can take it inside.
I need to go to school. I'm worried here. My only option would be to lock it up in the bike racks.
