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.

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 🤟

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

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

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.
