As electric bicycles become more and more popular, so too do the number of thefts involving e-bikes. Naturally, e-bikes aren’t cheap, with some high-end models going well beyond the $10,000 mark. On top of this, their lightweight and compact nature means they’re a quick and easy knick for thieves. As for what happens to these e-mobility devices after they’re stolen, well, their batteries are easily flipped or used for their materials in the black market.
