I've been riding e-bikes for over a year. I currently have two e-bikes by Momentum. A Transend E+ and a LaFree E+.

I have a problem with the Lafree that I hope someone on this site can help me with. I bought the bike as Demo, the dealer did not have a key for the battery and Giant/Momentum cannot provide one. I was told my only option was to drill the lock and then buy a new lock set. I have drilled the lock and can now remove the battery. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the old lock set and install the new one. Giant refuses to respond to my requests for assistance. Has anyone on this site gone through this and can provide some instructions on replacing the battery lock? Thanks for your help/

I would have taken it to a locksmith before I drilled the lock. They could have picked the lock and maybe made a key for it. You could still do that. It's possible they would have a lock cylinder that would fit. It looks like these bikes are a Giant product and the battery is still available. It is called an EnergyPak 400.

Thanks for your reply. As I said, I have drilled the old lock and am able to remove the battery. I have also purchased to new lock set like the one you posted. I just don't think the instructions are specific to my bike.

Never had the pleasure of seeing a Giant LaFree, but keys are either mounted in the frame or in the battery. If this is your lock and it's in the frame, you should be able to replace it if you drilled it. There's another view where it's held in by two vertical screws.
