Trying out this whole thing...

Yeah, now that the bike isn’t brand new anymore, I do feel a bit that maybe I’m being overprotective, to my own detriment.

Yeah, I’ve got a mid-range Abus U/D lock, and a Kryptonite New York Noose chain. Probably should stop worrying so much about it, but it’s hard to accept maybe losing that much money!

It’s mainly errands that I’m concerned about — same as you, I’ve got secure indoor storage at home and work. But I find myself reluctant to take it on errands versus Uber or transit, because of that risk of losing it.

Clearly I need to get over it! Haha.

I’ve definitely considered taking the battery and/or seat with me, but carrying around the wheel is one I hadn’t considered!

Great tips, thank you! I’ve got a U-lock/D-lock and a freaking heavy chain (Kryptonite New York Noose), so I really should probably stop stressing!

I am registered with the police and Project529, but you’re right that those are worth mentioning!

I got it working on an old Surface Pro 3 I had sitting around. Haven’t tested the pen, but the touchscreen and Windows button work fine for me, which is amazing! I just had to turn off secure boot or whatever to install.

It’s heartening to see some improvements that aren’t just ‘ban all eBikes!’

Happy to hear we can still make a good impression!
