Layered security

Hitch lock through the receiver. Security pin or cable through the bikes. Soft straps alone are not theft gear. Park where you can see the rack when you can.

Travel days

Pin before lunch stops. Do not leave e-bikes on a rack overnight outside a motel without serious locks — remove batteries and take them inside.
