Surprised?

All the electric bikes I have previously had needed a key to switch on the battery juice. But not this 2019 Giant Trance E+3. The key is to unlock the battery only, or so it appears. Once on the bike the controller will work with a single button pressed and away, with me on it one hopes! Pity there is not a hidden or internal switch on the battery so that it can be left in situ. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

It makes no difference if you have the switch in the controller or the battery. When the switch is off, the battery is isolated.

I think the op is referring to the theft possibility without having to remove the battery.
