November 14, 20205 yr This solution was mentioned way-way back in the past, but having found it, I followed thru to the website, bought the ground anchor in question, and fitted it. I have nothing to do with the company, but have nothing but praise for their attention to detail, communication, delivery (48 hours!) and price (less than most chains). Photo of the finished item attached. Oh wait .. the item is the Torc ground anchor, details at : https://securityforbikes.com/proddetail.php?prod=TorcMaxiAnchor Fitting took (as the instruction predicted) about an hour, almost all of it drilling the 4 bolt holes and cleaning the dust out.
November 14, 20205 yr The problem is, what if you keep your ebike in the toolshed? However secure the brick walls and any rings that might be bolted to them through which a bike could be secured, there could be a powered angle grinder inches away from the bike.....
November 14, 20205 yr Author The problem is, what if you keep your ebike in the toolshed? However secure the brick walls and any rings that might be bolted to them through which a bike could be secured, there could be a powered angle grinder inches away from the bike..... Yep, that's certainly an issue, so I guess the angle grinder needs chaining to a ring well away from the power. I think I'd notice power tool use if I was at home though, and I expect most thieves bring their own anyway. As has been said before, if they want it badly enough they will get it, at gunpoint if necessary, it's all about tipping the risk /effort / reward balance your way.
November 15, 20205 yr Very interesting ’post’ thank you. I had a good look through the available products at the web site. Cracking stuff beautifully explained.
November 15, 20205 yr Wireless CCTV is what I use for security. One camera on the outside and one on the inside with motion detection set to sound the alarm. The cameras around the house shining their nighttime red LEDs like ray-guns is enough to put off any potential trouble-makers. They also put off crooked door-knockers. I haven't had one tradesman offering to deal with the squirrels nest on my roof, since I installed the cameras.
