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

Well spotted ... the bike may have been discarded on the side of the road when the owner realised the error of his/her ways.

[Jakkals.]

The owner is still on the mountain after reading the bike is not allowed

The only crime here is the bar-ends.

It makes it easier to track the owner down - he'll be someone who started riding mountain bikes in the 1990s and don't give a **** about fashion

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...
