Beware of buying second hand bikes!

My Electric Bike was stolen last week.  I want to warn the thief that the bike is due for a full overhaul.  It is a dangerous to ride it for more than a week the condition it is in.

1. The spokes are coming off of the tires.
2. The brakes need to be replaced.
3. The battery even though it looks good needs to be charged very often.
4. The seat is frayed.
5. The paint job is chipped and very dirty.
All that I found was a piece of the lock where the cowardly thieves cut through it.

I want everyone to beware of buying this bike.  It is a White Green Bike, with a black battery 15W.   If you see it on  any resale sites, http://www.yad2.co.il/ especially for a very low price  then it is probably mine.

The police are swamped with stolen bikes, computers, iphones, you name it, and they don't have the manpower to follow up on leads.

I would caution anyone buying any bikes on resale sites 2nd hand as you don't really know if it is stolen merchandise or not.  It is best to buy from a store.
If you do buy 2nd hand demand to see the original receipt and warranty for the bike.
