"Because I'm an expert at getting my bike stolen..." 😂😂😂 Loved the video bro. Thanks for the hard-earned insights! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@bridawg24]

I use a U lock plus a kryptonite 3 ft chain. Considering adding a 3rd lock. Always make it difficult for a thief to steal your bike or bypass it altogether.

[@thepeterparkershow]

Don’t forget an alarm and a tracker.

[@tannerg]

“It’s so hot, like 82 degrees”. 🤣😂.

[@zebedee123456789]

Kind of ridiculous we have to go through all these measures just to protect our bikes. I only use my s2 to commute to work and back.

[@thepeterparkershow]

Trust me I totally get it. Been dealing with it all my life. But all the bikes I’ve gotten stolen were because i missed 1 or 2 of these steps. They are tedious but necessary. Doesn’t hurt putting on a tracker on the bike too

[@eastgray3354]

In Cali there bold enough. Not even a week in Cali I seen someone in broad daylight with everyone watchin by the store struggling to get a bike out of a lock. It could of just been the owner that forgot or lost his key. But it didn’t seem like the case lol

[@buckybux]

In NY they will take front tire . If you really secure everything they will take headlight, phone mount or anything else they can get. Death threat sign on a bike , GPS sign on a bike , alarm and 2 locks should do the job .

[@thepeterparkershow]

The death threat one sounds effective. Lol

[@David_Creyke]

My preventative measure I just don’t lock it up. I’m scared 😱 I really only use it for work and recreational rides. I do lock it at the grocery store but it’s only 10 minutes tops. I have a u-lock with a cord for the back wheel. I’d be scared to park it overnight, people would definitely steel it here.

[@kennedypittman3582]

Hey Peter, just got my S2 a few days ago, never really had to lock up a bike before, but this one...this one im definitely locking up. So, thanks for taking the time to share some of your methods!

[@vthomlinson]

Ulocks can be busted in under a minute with a carjack. It’s essential you have a unlock that leaves no room for anything to squeeze between the bars.

[@thepeterparkershow]

Good point and good tip.

[@andymartinez1426]

I seen a lot of ebike for sell without battery online good idea to take off the battery and good advice u are given to people 😎👍

[@emmanuelle7946]

Thank you very much for the video. This is something we are quite worried about, living in France. Also thank you for explaining in another comment why it is much more expensive in Europe !

[@thepeterparkershow]

Glad this could help! I’m making another video like this soon with more detail on what to do!

[@robertmotion]

im from Brooklyn, NY. i use $135 Kryptonite lock….and an Apple Airtag placed inside the seat of my Super73. imo, every ebike owner should fit an Apple Airtag inside the seat of your ebike. criminals are dumb…. /Bklyn👑

[@thepeterparkershow]

Hey Robert! Thanks for your comment. Yes Kryptonite locks are good but can still be compromised unfortunately. I have the same thing for mine. I recommend getting an Invoxia tracker, specially for NYC. It lets you know in real time if someone is touching your bike and will send notifications to your phone. And tracks the same (if not better) as an airtag too. Stay safe out there 🤟

[@ShawverFilms]

Man this is great!! Love this info! Also didn’t know that you lived in Europe that’s so rad!!! 🍻

[@haleymariemackenzie]

What brand? Want to look into these haha

[@hhead56]

Thanks best way to lock it up.

[@MasterEggroll]

Thinking about getting the all black one with that seat. is the seat easy to install and is it better than the seat that comes with the bike?

[@thepeterparkershow]

All seats are a pain in the ass to install haha. But I like this one because it’s firm, it gives me extra room (for 2 people to sit comfortably) and it doesn’t feel like I’m gonna fall back if I sit too far back. But it is less squishy than the stock one. You can always ask the seat maker to add extra padding.

[@Mr_Sentoo]

Just put locking wheels nuts on it. They come standard on my vanmoof S2. That’s what i’m doing on my super73 S2.

[@sakiyehwalker7326]

Thanks a lot for the details because you just never know

[@rileygreene4041]

Hi! Looking at getting one of the horn/alarms. How often do you have to charge it? Does it remove to charge pretty easily?

[@thepeterparkershow]

Yeah charges in less than an hour and it is removable. I charge it every 3-4 rides.

[@rileygreene4041]

Appreciate the reply! Love the videos.

[@AlexisChateau]

Thanks for sharing. Using these tips to protect my Rize Blade 2! Sadly, there's no built in alarm. I'm hoping they make an add-on soon!

[@thepeterparkershow]

That would be a great feature all ebikes should have. Antitheft tracking and alarms. Thanks for watching!

[@AlexisChateau]

@@thepeterparkershow Agreed. The Wing bikes had a built-in alarm system, but there were so many complaints against them for quality issues and customer service. I'm looking at alarms on Amazon in the meantime.

[@quodammodo]

Do you also recommend removing front/back light when leaving the bike for several hours?

[@thepeterparkershow]

Lights are ok. Thieves usually want the whole bike. They don’t bother to be exposed or to take small things/accessories. Unless they are easily removable and valuable

[@rebeccachoate8038]

Great video and fab advice. I have had my bike stolen before and it is such a horrible feeling! Thank you so much! Stay safe!

[@MrTurkeybags]

Also never lock your bike to a dried up piece of wood that you can karate chop no problem lol

[@thepeterparkershow]

Yeah you are right. But for the purpose of the video I am pretending the wooden fence is a metal pole that is cemented or bolted to the ground. Getting lots of people saying the same thing but they didn’t hear me say that.

[@RadCityBerlin]

check out the evo4 lock, the extra long one is great for the motor area, no hard edges

[@thepeterparkershow]

I gotta check that one out!

[@izzyjizzy]

Stupid question but do you take the rack bag with you when your parked up?

[@thepeterparkershow]

That’s a valid question to ask! I don’t take the bag but I usually empty the bag If I’m gonna leave it for more than 15min. But if you really care about the bag you totally can. Just take it with you if you’re gonna leave your bike alone for more than an hour or so.

[@danielabento1879]

Does the u lock fit in your frame bag?

[@thepeterparkershow]

It definitely does. I just don’t do it because it’s a pain to take it in and out of the bag. But it’s definitely doable.

[@akyerit]

My only concern with that U-Lock is the guage. I'm pretty confident, with the right size bolt cutter, someone could snap that reasonably quickly actually. But ya two locks are great! Preferably a u lock and a chain, both with pretty thick guages. It also depends on how long you're planning on leaving it and when. I'm speaking as a born and bred New Yorker who not only has had bikes stolen, but also knew dudes that would do it and would tell me all the tricks haha

[@MarioHernandez4music]

One time i did this and my bike was upside down. The bike was destroyed. Wheels had no air, rim was scatch. Who ever it was try everything he could to open the ulock. It sucks badly.

[@thepeterparkershow]

Oh boy that really sucks. Sounds like the thief got salty he couldn't steal your bike, so he made it personal. I had someone scratch my frame pretty badly but couldn't break the Ulock with the Pliers/wire cutters so I got lucky it was just scratches.

[@ryanlittler5478]

Hey Parker! Another great vid. How did you get your bike back after it was stolen those 3 times? Did you use the tracker and get the cops to help or did you Spiderman vigilante it?

[@thepeterparkershow]

Unfortunately those bikes were gone forever. I never got them back. Not even my Spidey sense helped. Lol

[@UrWholeFyp]

@@thepeterparkershow did you have to buy a new bike?

[@marcusstone8673]

Truly thinking about investing in one for my simple commute. The security is a great insight. But would a cover over the bike be a good idea? To obscure the thief’s vision? Or would it entice more of the thought of what “prize” is underneath it?

[@thepeterparkershow]

Good point. If you lock the cover to the wheel they can't pull it up to see what's under it. But investing in locks is the biggest thing you gotta do after buying safety gear!

[@Pintexx]

We’re the bikes that were stolen from you e-bikes or regular bikes? Also for the alarm I think it can be disarmed just by cutting the wire so a thief who knows this can just cut the wire so getting a dedicated alarm is probably better. They are cheap on Amazon like 18$. They are best hid under the seat so thieves will have a hard time removing it

[@thepeterparkershow]

Regular bikes. And if you cut the cable you loose your horn button But the alarm will keep going till the battery is dead. And they’re not that cheap. It’s almost 50$

[@ewanburrow]

Good question! I usually empty it just in case. I have had my bike seat almost get stolen tho!

The price of these bikes and how commonly bikes are stolen are the two main things preventing me from getting one. They are such awesome looking bikes, but to have it stolen by some drug head jackass would be infuriating.

The best way is not to leave it outside then no locks needed 😮😮

[@RealRayAl]

In nyc they will steal anything. I got a phone mount stolen and a removable light in different occasions. Many bike parts in Many places i have passed by in nyc were stolen. Including everything but the bike frame. So dont leave your bike outside over night, if you are able to store it in your apt.

This bike is £3300 pounds in the uk and you get it for $2000? Why such a mark up

[@thepeterparkershow]

You guys get better components. They are very strict laws in the UK and in Europe in general where the bike must pass certain regulations. In other words, the European Super73 is built better. Besides that, you guys get the 10-speed kit automatically with the bike. Unfortunately, we don't have access to it here in the US. Europe brakes has: Magura MT4e, 2-piston caliper, 180mm x 2.0mm rotor - Rear: Magura MT4e, 180mm rotor x 2.0mm rotor. Yours comes with a horn included, ours doesn't. Also the European one has Torque where ours is Cadence/rotation sensor. Hope that explains it.
