It's been suggested that I post my stolen ebike report here -- in the
hopes that when more cyclists know which bikes are stolen will make it
difficult for the thieves to benefit.
So, I'd appreciate it if any of you keep a look-out for my bike. It was
stolen from my garage in Bells Corners, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
over the weekend of the 24th.
It's a unusual bike, i think.
It's a black, long-wheelbase recumbent. (Looks like a low lawn chair
with pedals and a 20" wheel way up front.)
I feel the need to describe it in excruciating detail:
It's made from square-section black-anodized aluminum tubing -- not
painted. The brand is "infinity". The front 20" wheel has an BL-36
motor. The handlebar is under the seat and controls the front fork
with two aircraft cables pulled tight with turnbuckles. There is a
"Watts UP" energy meter velcroed to the motor control box which
itself is cable tied to the top tube. The rear carrier has a heavy
lead-acid battery and panniers. The brakes are side-pull rim brakes.
The front derailleur is campy but the rear is a Suntour Superbe. The
crankset is Sugino AT and is half-step plus granny configuration.
The rear 27" wheel (1 inch rim) has red fiberglass wheel fairing
(or spoke cover). The plastic seat mesh/fabric has a hole or slit worn
in the center where the rear tire has rubbed (my back escaped damage).
(Infinity went out of business a long time ago so it's very likely the seat
mesh has not been replaced.) There is a 6" scratch in the anodizing
on the top tube near the headset.
Whoever stole it does not have the little key to turn off the motor
controller (like a tiny ignition key).
This is an old bike, dusty, weird bike. But i'd like it back.
Besides, stealing a bike is *low*.
Thanks your patience.
