My non-e-bike has bolts in place of quick releases for wheels and saddle and a bolted-on dynamo-powered headlight. That essentially eliminates component theft.

My non-e-bike has bolts in place of quick releases for wheels and saddle and a bolted-on dynamo-powered headlight. That essentially eliminates component theft. It takes about 20 seconds to use my u-lock to attach to a convenient pole or bike rack.
It's really quite simple to make your bike a less attractive target for theft.
- Lio 7y agoOne of my bikes is a Brompton mainly for theft reasons. As a alternative to using a bike lock I just fold it up and bring it with me. It’s still a heavy lump to carry any distance but it fits under a desk just great. (Amusingly they now make an ebike Brompton too).
