I own no land. If i used an indoor manual-peddling bike storage, i doubt that’d have an outlet.

    Most batteries are removable for safety, anti-theft, and maintenance purposes. Pick a bike that requires a key to remove battery (they can account for ~40% of the cost of the bike) then take it upstairs/into work to keep it charged.

    Since ebikes generally are pretty expensive bikes you have to treat them like that. Outdoor storage is difficult for expensive bikes, since they make nice targets for theft. Generally, 10% of the price should be spent for a lock, maybe some less for the very expensive bikes.

    Also, just because chances are high that it’s going to get stolen nonetheless, you should get insurance for the bike. If it’s properly locked to a sturdy structure with a lock that’s a special kind (known brand more than 50€ or sth like that) and gets stolen, then they give you money to buy a new one. Insurance is pretty cheap, considering the whole price point of the bike.
