Use a high-quality bike lock. Invest about 10 % of the
purchase price of the bike in locks. Your cycle dealer will be
able to fit a suitable frame lock if your bike does not already
have one. You can also use other types of bike lock. Ask
your cycle dealer for advice.
Make a note of the important details of your pedelec (e.g.
in the service book
II.III Service book Page EN-6
, bike
passport) and have it registered by the police. This makes it
easier to describe and identify if stolen.
Have the police code your pedelec; the address and initials
of the owner are engraved on the frame in an encrypted
form. Coding makes the illegal resale of a bike more difficult
and deters thieves. A coded bike also makes it easier to
identify the owner.
Bicycle theft is often covered by household contents
insurance. Check the terms of your insurance policy as soon
as possible.
Always lock the bike and battery even if you leave it for
a short while. Ideally, the lock(s) should block the wheel
powered by the motor. Do not leave the key in. To be on
the safe side, you can also remove the battery. The pedelec
must also be secured with a lock when it is parked outside
the home (e.g. sheds, basement).
Do not park your pedelec in deserted locations – especially
for long periods. If possible, park your pedelec in private
or communal garages or individual bike lockers which have
surveillance.
Attach your pedelec to a fixed object (such as a tree, street
lamp or fence) so that it cannot be carried away.
Quick-release wheels should be attached to a fixed object
together with the frame. This prevents the wheel from being
stolen. Alternatively, the quick-release skewers can be
replaced by an anti-theft device. Contact your cycle dealer if
you have questions on this.
