Heard someone found an e ride in a dumpster on this sub and hoping you can help a brother out please

Posted by mobiusmaples@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 21 comments

Got my bike stolen last week (e ride pro ss 2.0 fatty) and someone mentioned in another sub a bike was posted here maybe and there was picture of the vin number visible. I'm in Bristol UK.

If anyone knows anything or can help I'd be very grateful. I know it's a long shot but damn.

With hope and thanks

In the old west they would hang horse thieves!

Many of ebikes these days, cost more than a horse ! Just saying !

If they get strung up I'm not gonna complain mate. Little shits.

I'm not about that life but I know some who are and if one of the youngers showed up fresh from robbing a disabled person they'd get slapped silly as a lesson. Violently robbing disadvantaged civilians is about at low as it gets

You gotta use multiple locks. You gotta make it as hard as possible. I deploy a lock, a disc brake lock and a handle bar lock…and I remove the battery when I’m away from my bike…

I got kicked off it while riding along bro. I never let the thing out my sight until it was violently stolen

Damn… glad you’re okay…

I also “carry” when I ride my bike. I can’t believe someone just kicked you like that.

Thanks bro. I'm in the UK so only allowed a whistle smh

If I could have been legally and safely armed I for sure would have been. It's not a thing here tho really unless you're pretty serious criminal n worth risking time for just having it on you. I'm not about that life I'm an artist lol just a wheelie guy. Had no idea I would be targeted like that and I'm disabled recovering from some crazy stuff. If you have a minute to check my profile i'd be honoured

The more I think on it the more I feel anyone hurting disadvantaged people for stuff deserves a full clip tho fr. Hope you continue to ride safe and enjoy, these bikes are the future imo. Big love

Feel for you bro. There's lots of people out enjoying for the right reasons but sadly some bikes are for sure a target, had no idea how much so. I don't wanna let this e bike thing go though it's what gets me outside and enjoying nature again, I think mini is the way to go, nobody trying to look hard on a kids bike

I think the one found in the trash was a Talaria MX4.

Apologies: This is not my bike. But I'm super grateful for the help. I think the photo is from US not UK and this is a talaria mx4 not my e ride pro. Hell of a find! Love y'all stay safe out there
