That doesn't stop them in Barrie. They walk in, grab the bike and walk out. Even if front desk staff see's them, they won't intervene other than yelling and calling the cops. If a security see's them, they try to intervene but a guard at barrie city hall got permanent damage from trying to stop an idiot a couple years ago so I won't be surprised if they are also hands off now.
Part of me has always wanted to chase a thief attempting to steal a fixie. The first corner should result in a great crash. Hopefully they get hurt.
That's worth more than my motorbike. Looks fantastic.No one will ever get the chance. Stood back to admire my handiwork when it was finished. First requirement: had to be black on black with black accents. Unfortunately it’s always MOAR! BETTER! with me. Brodie Bikes double butted Prestige frame, Mavic ceramics on Syncros/Shimano DX BMX hub black DB DT Swiss spokes combo, Avid Ultimate Black Ops brakes and levers, Avid Black Ops stem, Pro Taper bars, Flite Evolution Ti rail carbon fiber saddle, OG Shimano DX BMX pedals (rare and $$$$), Thomson seat post. The brakes alone are $1K. No way it’s ever being left anywhere.
I've never felt the desire for radar. If I'm on the road, I have at most the right earbud in. I also normally have a crazy flashing light that makes me very visible from behind even in full sun (similar to a cateye viz 450 but old). That means the vehicles know I'm there (assuming they are watching at all) and I know the vehicles are there (even EV's at speed are easy to hear coming). I don't see what the upside is to radar. Lots of vehicles pass closer than 1m. A flexible spacer rod with a metal tip for durability is much more effective to maintain space than more tech.
I don't own one...but rode with a guy who had one. First thing that's cool, if one person has it, everyone has it lol. I was getting the alerts from his radar on my bike computer.
I ride early in the morning so the car lights usually warn me, also you can hear them coming. The electric cars have a quiet eerie whine but their lights are so bright too. I tried the bar end mirror and kept smashing them on side door entrance to the garage and banging into it, so I took it off. I might try the helmet mirror, but will probably figure out a way to poke my own eye out with it.
I would buy a bike that fits within the legal definition of ebike as that opens up the places you can legally ride. That rules out a lot of bikes that look really fun (like surron).

I would be leery about the specific bike you linked. Motor seems to have reliability issues. I'm not sure if you can convert to another bottom bracket motor or if the whole bike is crap if the motor dies. Wheel motors have some downsides but they make it much easier to retrofit with another system (or no system.).
FAZUA Ride 60 - in our big e-mountainbike motor comparison test
We tested the FAZUA Ride 60 Light eMTB motor, both in the lab and on the trail. It sounds promising, but how does it fare in real life?
