Pedelec thief in Lörrach: owner chases perpetrators away!
An exciting incident occurred on Saturday, October 27, 2025, on Palmstrasse in Lörrach. Shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon, a bicycle owner had his Pedelec stolen, which was safely parked on the bicycle trailer of a car. At 1:35 p.m., the owner received an alarm from his tracking device informing him that his valuable e-bike was being moved. This alarm device is proving to be extremely helpful, as the situation unfortunately shows.
The owner acts quickly and uses GPS tracking to locate his Pedelec. He follows the signal to Bergstrasse, where he finally finds the bike unlocked. An unfortunate circumstance that probably caused the perpetrator to flee was the owner triggering an acoustic signal, which certainly attracted attention. According to the Freiburg police headquarters, the unknown perpetrators fled when the signal sounded, leaving the scenario without a direct confrontation.
Bicycle thefts in focus
This incident is not an isolated case. Statistics show that bicycle thefts have seen a worrying increase in recent years. According to a survey, high-quality bikes, especially e-bikes, are particularly at risk. Therefore, owners of such valuable two-wheelers should find out about special bicycle or e-bike insurance. These policies offer more comprehensive protection than traditional home contents insurance and can provide more helpful compensation in the event of theft.
- Versicherungsschutz umfasst Risiken wie Diebstahl, Vandalismus oder Unfälle.
- Die Entschädigung kann sich nach dem Neuwert oder Zeitwert richten.
- Separate Verträge sind für jedes Rad nötig.
This shows that the issue of bicycle safety and insurance coverage is becoming increasingly important these days. Anyone who relies on the bike should think about how they can best protect it, because the risks should not be underestimated. As this incident in Lörrach proves, technology can have a good hand in an emergency - at least if you use it correctly.
If you also own an e-bike or high-quality bicycle, remember to find out about the available insurance offers and, if necessary, take out the appropriate protection.
