  • As someone quite new to e-cargo bike ownership, what do I need to know about locking it up?

    I've made a few trips but not yet any that have involved me leaving it behind.

    Thinking D-lock, chain lock and rim lock.

    Remove the battery as well?

  • Definitely remove the battery and head unit if you can. Have had batteries stolen when the rider left the bike for a couple of minutes and another one of our riders had the head unit pinched whilst they were still on the bike!

  • Depends where you go, I have hexlox on the front wheel, if I'm just popping in the shop I dlock the back wheel and take the little speedometer off. If I go into a shop and I'm by the door and can see the bike I just use the wheel lock and take off the speedometer butif I'm leaving the bike for a longer period I dlock, chain and take the battery off.

    Unfortunately not many places have good facilities to lock up a cargo bike so you have to way up practicality with security, just get insurance and be as safe as you feel comfortable with.
