What do regarding locking up electric bikes?
My rule is never to lock up a "nice" bike, which is why I ride my road bike on rides where it never leaves me, and my Brompton to work/shops where I take it inside.
I'm considering the ARCC conversion for the Brompton to electrify it, as a way to keep this up, but it's £1800 and I wonder if I could get a better "proper" electric bike for similar money to enjoy. However then I wouldn't be comfortable taking it to work and locking it anywhere, which is one of the main reasons I'd have for it.
