Hardware brands are releasing secure screws and nuts to reduce ebike theft
Trend - Brands are releasing anti-theft nuts and screws for e-bikes. These attach to the wheels, or motor, adding a second layer of security to the bike's components. These nuts require specialized tools to remove, preventing theft from bad actors with regular toolkits—giving peace of mind to ebike owners.
Insight - One of the largest growing sectors in mobility in the modern world is the field of e-bikes. Consumers are drawn to these products for convenience, low cost of ownership, and reliability. However, as ebikes continue to gain popularity, so does ebike theft, leading to near-daily reports of bikes being stolen in major cities, despite the use of regular bike locks. In recognition of this problem, brands are releasing screws and nuts that add extra layers of security to these vehicles.
