Unless we're ever ready to start treating bike thieves like horse thieves, that's unlikely to ever change. And I doubt we'll ever have the political will to do that, or even a kinder gentler version of it.
Ya, but that just means I'm more likely to have an EV car than E-bike. The former is must less likely to get stolen, and the latter can still be very expensive (although not as expensive as the EV car).
