How do I choose a theft-deterrent lock system?
Condividere
High-security U-locks paired with a heavy chain or steel cable provide reliable protection for frames and wheels. For A-Spadz Cavet Air and QREATE City models, lock the frame with a U-lock and secure the front wheel or accessories with a secondary chain. Multiple locks create redundancy, making theft more difficult and deterring opportunistic thieves.
How should I secure my bike when away from home?
Park in well-lit, visible areas with solid, grounded fixtures. Avoid temporary or removable objects. Remove high-value, detachable components such as batteries, displays, and accessories during extended stops to minimize the risk of theft.
How can I protect the battery and electronics?
The battery is often the most targeted component. Use the built-in locking mechanism or compatible tether locks. Keep cables and connectors clean and dry. Store removable displays and other accessories securely when leaving the bike unattended to prevent tampering or theft.
How can technology help prevent theft?
Install a discreet GPS tracker compatible with your A-Spadz e-bike to enable geofencing alerts and real-time tracking. Motion-activated alarms paired with push notifications deter thieves and instantly inform you if the bike is moved, enhancing recovery potential.
How should I park and secure my e-bike at work or in urban environments?
Indoors, store your Cavet Air in a secure bike room or locker. Outdoors, use two locks and attach the bike to a sturdy, immovable fixture in a well-visible location. Establish a security routine: record serial numbers, take photos, and perform a quick lock check before and after rides to maintain consistent protection.
How do I maintain locks and security accessories?
Inspect locks weekly or after heavy use for rust, bending, or burrs. Keep spare keys and access codes in a secure location separate from the bike. Proper storage and regular maintenance ensure locks remain reliable over time.
How should I respond if theft occurs?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| Report | File a police report including serial numbers and photos. |
| Notify | Inform your insurance provider and any GPS-tracker service. |
| Recover | Share tracker data with authorities and review security practices to prevent future theft. |
