ByAre you the proud owner of a stylish striding electric bike? No doubt you’ve fallen in love with the convenience and style it brings to your daily commute or weekend adventure. But as much as you love your two-wheeler, worrying about it being stolen can sometimes cast a pall over your happiness.
Fear not, e-bike lovers! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the best practices for safe locking stride e-bikes, giving you peace of mind and ensuring your ride stays where you left off.
Choose the right lock
The first step to ensuring the safety of an e-bike is to choose the right lock. Choose a high quality U-lock or chain lock, made of hardened steel. These locks are more resistant to cutting tools and provide a higher level of security than cable locks.
Find a safe place
When parking an electric bicycle, be sure to find a place with good light and heavy traffic. A thief is unlikely to target a bike within sight. If possible, park your e-bike in a designated bike rack or attach it to a fixed object, such as a sturdy post or bike rack.
Correct lock
Properly protecting your e-bike is the key to preventing thieves. Follow these steps to ensure your bike is effectively locked:
Lock the frame and wheels: Push the lock through the frame and front wheels to secure it to a fixed object. If your lock is long enough, include the rear wheel.
Secure removable parts: If your e-bike has removable batteries or accessories, be sure to take them with you or secure them separately with a secondary lock.

How do you protect your e-bike?
You should look for a safe piece of street furniture, such as a sturdy bike rack, metal fence, or lamp post. Make sure your e-bike frame and rear wheel are secured to this item with a hard lock so that your e-bike cannot be removed or lifted. Type d locks and chains are best for this job, but we’ll get into that in more detail later.
What is the eBike lock function?
Thanks to the eBike Lock, the motor support is turned off when the Kiox or Nyon display is removed, and the eBike is less attractive to thieves because it’s harder to sell. The eBike lock feature is only deactivated when the same display is reconnected, reactivating the motor support.
Can I lock my bike anywhere?
Always secure your bike to a fixed, immovable object, preferably a bike rack. Don’t lock your bike in a place where you’re sure to spend a lot of time. If you know it’s an area with a high risk of theft, carry an extra lock.
How do you lock a bike without a bike rack?
If you don’t have something completely secured, you can lock your bike to anything large and bulky. You can lock the wheels to the frame so the bike won’t roll. This will make it harder to move.
