E-bike thefts in Hawke's Bay
There has been an upsurge in e-bikes being taken from vehicles parked in public car parks, accommodation providers and freedom camping areas in the Hawke’s Bay area.
Some of these bikes are worth well in excess of $5000. The offenders are not opportunist thieves, they are well prepared with tools to steal these bikes. We want people to store their bikes wisely to mitigate these thefts occurring.

🔒If possible, do not store your bike on the back of your vehicle and leave it.
🔒 If you must, use high-quality, durable locks – and consider using two locks with at least one being a D-lock. Do not use cable locks as they are easy to cut.
🔒 If you are staying at motels/hotels or campgrounds, ask if there is a secure lock-up for bikes or if you can store them in your unit.
🔒 Ensure the frame and wheels are attached to a secure stand or anchor point.
🔒 Keep photos of your bike and frame. Record serial numbers for police and insurance companies.

🚲 If possible, lock it in a garage or park in well-lit areas around the back of your property.
