Protect Your Investment and Ride with Confidence
E-Bikes are revolutionizing urban commuting and leisure rides, and HEPHA is proud to be part of this movement. However, with their growing popularity, E-Bikes have also become prime targets for theft. That’s why securing your HEPHA E-Bike is essential. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best practices, tools, and insurance options to safeguard your E-Bike and give you peace of mind.
Why Security is Crucial for Your HEPHA E-Bike
Your HEPHA E-Bike is more than just a bike - it’s a valuable investment in mobility and sustainability. With advanced features, premium components, and a price tag to match, E-Bikes are unfortunately attractive to thieves. To protect your bike and your wallet, it’s vital to invest in top-tier security measures.
Top Security Measures for Your HEPHA E-Bike
-
HEPHA’s Built-In Anti-Theft Devices
HEPHA E-Bikes come equipped with innovative security features designed to deter thieves and give you full control:
-
Display Key (only older models)
Your E-Bike can’t function without its display. Simply remove the display when parking to render your bike inoperable to others. Replacement displays can only be ordered and activated through your personal HEPHA account, ensuring maximum security. -
Phone Key (latest models)
Turn your smartphone into a key! When activated within the app, this feature ensures your HEPHA E-Bike only works when connected to your phone via Bluetooth. If you walk away and lose connection, the motor will not provide assistance unless a unique code is entered on the display.

Battery Locking Mechanism
All HEPHA E-Bikes include a secure locking mechanism for the battery. Locking your battery in place prevents it from being removed or stolen when you’re parked.
-
High-Quality Physical Locks
Pairing your E-Bike’s built-in security features with robust physical locks adds an extra layer of protection. Here are some top recommendations:
-
Frame Locks (with Optional Chain Locks)
Frame locks are easy to use and provide a quick way to immobilize your bike. For added security, use a chain lock to secure your E-Bike to a fixed object, making it harder to move or steal.
