looking for recommendations for bike locks for the RadRover 6 Plus - being a fat tire bike, I'd need a lock that is big enough for the fat tires....

I'm in a fairly large city, so i'd need a decent lock, but I don't see my bike being locked up for more than a few hours at a time at most, plus the majority of bike theft here are thefts of opportunity.

thanks!

Still waiting for my bike arrive, but ultimately found myself deciding between the Thousand Chapter and the Bern Hudson. LOVE the look of the Thousand Chapter, but at the end of the day the Bern appears to provide more protection, and that the most important thing when it comes to my dome.

And I love a bargain and want as cheap as possible, but safety isn't something I'm willing to skimp on, so I'm dropping that extra 75 bucks on one of those, instead of some cheap helmet.

I've continued to research, and for e-bike coverage exclusively, https://velosurance.com/ seems to be the strongest. Most of the ebike companies are underwritten by the same insurance company, but the little features seem to make Velo stand out.

My homeowner policy actually specifically excludes e-bikes, which i suppose it's nice that they're upfront about it, and i don't have to research the fine print. :D

total n00b here - in fact, my RadRover 6 hasn't even arrived yet. But I am super jazzed and keep checking the tracking every day as it gets closer and closer to arrival day.

I've done searching here as well as other places online, and haven't really found much aside from a few scattershot comments.

Do folks insure their e-bikes, and if so, what has proven to be the most effective route? Seems to be a purchase that is a couple of grand oughta be insurable, but I've seen exclusions  on homeowner and renter policies for things like "moto-vehicles," which I suppose by definition, an e-bike is.

thoughts?
