How do I choose a lock system that deters theft?
Teilen
High-security U-locks paired with a heavy chain or cable provide excellent protection for both the frame and wheels. For A-Spadz Cavet Air models, use a U-lock for the frame and a secondary lock for the front wheel or accessories. Always secure the frame and rear wheel to a fixed, immovable object to maximize security.
How should I lock my e-bike in public spaces?
Park in well-lit, visible locations, preferably monitored by cameras. Use sturdy, permanent fixtures instead of removable or temporary structures. Remove detachable components like the battery, display, or high-value accessories during long stops to reduce temptation and theft risk.
How can I secure the battery and electronics?
Batteries are prime targets for theft. Use a model-specific lock or tether the battery to the frame when possible. Keep cables, connectors, and displays clean, dry, and securely stored when leaving the bike unattended. Regular inspections prevent tampering and ensure components remain in good condition.
How can technology help prevent theft?
Install a discreet GPS tracker compatible with your A-Spadz bike to enable real-time tracking and geofencing alerts. Motion-activated alarms, paired with remote notifications, provide immediate deterrence and alert you if your bike is being tampered with or moved.
How should I plan parking and security around work?
Whenever possible, store your Cavet Air indoors in a secure bike room or locker. If outdoor parking is necessary, use two locks and attach the bike to a fixed, visible anchor. Establish a security routine, including pre-ride lock checks, serial number documentation, and regular inspection of lock condition.
How do I maintain locks and security gear?
Inspect locks weekly or after heavy use for rust, bending, or damage to the shackle and mechanism. Store spare keys and access devices in a secure location separate from the bike. Keeping locks clean and dry helps maintain their reliability over time.
How should I respond if my bike is stolen?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Report | File a police report with serial numbers and photos. |
| Notify | Inform your insurer and any GPS-tracking service used. |
| Recover | Share GPS location and relevant information with authorities and your network. |
