Bike stolen without battery.

[EdC]

Last week my Bosch powered ebike was stolen after I had removed the battery. Now I have the original 500 power pack battery, my extra 400 power pack battery and a 4 amp charger, and I don’t know what to do with them. I tried buying a bike the uses power back batteries, but I ended up with one that uses a power tube battery. Any ideas on repurposing those batteries and charger. The batteries and charger are only 3 years old. Ed

Probably post the make and model of your stolen bike on the classified section here and see if you can find a buyer for the batteries. The problem might be in the shipping...

I bought a trek because I could add those batteries to it. but that's too late for you. you can get a printout of the battery's info and sell them.

If selling them make sure new owner is legitimate owner of their bike. Don't want help thieves power their stolen bike.

Mileage will determine value.

If your new bike uses horizontal 625 PowerTubes, I would trade you one in for the PowerPack batteries.

Lithium ion batteries are sought after for recycling. Take it to Lowe’s or Home Depot. They partner with a large recycling company. Call2Recycle. Same thing happened to me recently. If No one on this site wants the battery and charger I will drop it off at Lowe’s. Sorry it happened to you.

So sorry to hear that EDC

I am considering so many things before I buy an e-bike (which I plan to do for commuting mainly) and “stealibilty” is one major thing I have been considering.

If you do not mind, could say how your bike got stolen? Did the thieves snap through the lock or was it left without a lock for a period? Also do you live in a busy city or suburb

(please feel free to refrain from answering, I am just trying to get a feel for things for my purchase and an e-bike with the Bosch batteries is what I am leaning on hence my question to this seemingly fitting topic)
