Getting my lil bro an e-bike
My little brother is going here for this upcoming school year, and his family lives in Indiana, so he'll be on his own there. His other siblings and I were planning on getting him an E-bike, but I'm concerned about charging and theft. I don't want to saddle him with the responsibility, and with them not allowing indoor charging and theft, I'm a bit worried about that.
I'm wondering if 1, I can make an ebike look trashed enough (spray paint, duct tape, scuffed up motor), that it won't be stolen as long as he puts like 2 or 3 locks on it. I've also realized that to go full on redneck engineering with it, I'll probably have to do a modded bike, but whatever.
And 2, if we do get him an E-bike, what are the chances that he would get a roommate/ra that would throw a fit about him bringing the battery inside and putting it in one of those litiam battery bags to charge while he's in the dorm?
