Thanks to frame-integrated batteries and shrinking motors, ebikes have come a very long way in the past few years in terms of simpler, sleeker looks more in line with traditional pedal bicycles. Still, while they're not as immediately recognizable as they once were, ebikes are often designed to…
I have only a second hand ebike from a few years ago, and it’s not stealthy about it at all.
However I can remove the battery block, which is secured in its slot with lock and key, anytime I leave the bike out of sight for a longer period. In fact I need to do so to recharge it.
I really don’t get the appeal of stealth ebikes, if someone wants to steal it they can’t get the expensive and specific part of it is removable. Even stealing it with its battery is only somewhat lucrative because it requires a very specific dock to recharge it, and that’s not likely to be included.
The stealth part is also appealing because then the other, elitist riders won’t judge you for riding an ebike.
