Abstract
Description
[0001] Entering a PIN to start an e-bike solves the problem of illegal riding through theft.
[0002] Previously, the e-bike could be started by attaching the bicycle computer.
[0003] After the illegal removal of the mechanical bicycle locking system, the e-bike cannot be ridden and therefore has additional theft protection.
[0004] Further development of the electric drive could prevent the drive wheel from rotating without PIN entry.
[0005] The only way to steal the e-bike is to carry it away, which is much more conspicuous, as riding is not possible without entering a PIN.
