Battery Security

[ElephantsGerald]

As I chained my Wisper 905SE up at work today it occurred to me that the most valuable bit of kit on the bike is the battery, which isn't even secured to the frame.

In fact, since the saddle post has a quick release mechanism, a would be thief wouldn't even need any tools to pinch the battery.

Currently the only "safe" option would be to remove the battery every time I park up, which would be a right pain.

I'd have thought it'd be quite easy to fabricate a metal bar or plate which attaches to the frame and swings/locks into place above the battery, thus making it much more difficult to remove.

Does anyone manufacture such a thing?

Has anyone ever had their battery pinched?

Something for manufacturers to think about perhaps.

Regards,

Elephants.

No Lock

Hi Elephants

There should have been a battery lock either installed or in the packaging for you to fit.

If you don't have one please let me know and I will send you one immediately.

Missing parts?

I didn't come across anything like that when I was putting the bike together. If you could send me a lock that would be great. Thanks .

I've received the Battery lock and attached it to the bike now.

By the way, are the keys the sort you can get copied at the local locksmith, or are they fancy keys that can only be replaced by WEVCO?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi oldosc,

That'd be the Wisper Electric Vehicle Company.

They're the same keys as the battery. Shouldn't be too much of a challenge for your local keycutter.
