A Wave of Thefts: In Which Israeli City Are the Most Scooters Stolen?
Published
A new survey recently published reveals alarming data regarding the personal security of electric vehicle owners in Israel. According to the data, nearly half of electric bicycle and scooter owners reported that their vehicle had been stolen at least once during the recent period.
The data shows that the phenomenon is very widespread. About 45% of respondents indicated that they had lost their vehicle due to theft. In addition, the situation is worsening for some riders: 11% of them reported having suffered a theft twice, and another 4% noted that their vehicle had been stolen three times.
Contrary to what many might think, the city where the most thefts occur is not Tel Aviv. The survey points to other cities where the risk for electric vehicle owners is the highest, which raises questions regarding enforcement and the protection of private property in the public sphere.
The frequent thefts cause a significant financial loss for many riders, as these are expensive means of transportation. Experts recommend that owners use stronger security measures, such as high-quality locks and tracking systems, to make things difficult for thieves and try to reduce the risk of losing their property.
