I also carry an extra heavy duty chain and lock. However, I generally don't leave my bike unattended for long and keep it in my ground floor apartment when I am not using it.(12-17-2020, 06:27 PM)Acitta Wrote: These days, it is becoming popular to use an E-bike as an alternative to a car. You can't do 100 km/h on the highway, but 32 km/h is quite fast for getting around town. I bought one in July and have put more than 1500 km on it. I think that a lot of car trips could be replaced by an E-bike. If you need to carry a lot of stuff, there are cargo bike versions.
An e-bike can be a great solution during the none-snowy months for some people, assuming they don’t need to take a lot of stuff with them. But again, not a solution for everything. As I said, everyone situation is different.
But I do agree that e-bikes could take a lot of cars off the road. Perhaps not making car owners give up cars, but rather car owners using and sharing the e-bike for simply trips.
Any tips on anti-theft devices?
