Any spaz dealer should be able to help trace it back to the owner

Giant ebikes are registered on their system.

 

Once plugged into their computer they KNOW everything about the bike !!  Exact distance I rode, etc .... And my contact details have been programmed into the system.

 

 

 

Would expect Spez to have similar functionality ...

I fear to find a bike like this with no owner is ominous to the owners current circumnstance.

 

I take it I understand correctly, someone found this abandoned somewhere?

Kind of like a cellphone, and they are impossible to steal

Stolen in Claremont, rider was found battling up a hill. Battery still fully charged.

 

New "owner" had ridden all the way to HB with the motor switched off...
