My Velowave Ranger E-Bike was stolen

Today was rough. My Velowave Ranger E-Bike was stolen, and I’m feeling a mix of frustration, disappointment, and loss. That bike was more than just a ride—it was my way of getting around, my freedom, and a major investment. I can’t believe it’s gone.
I had it locked up, but apparently, that wasn’t enough. It’s scary how quickly someone can take something so valuable. I keep replaying everything in my head, wondering if I could’ve done something differently. Maybe a better lock, a different parking spot, or just more vigilance—but at the end of the day, I guess if someone really wants to steal it, they’ll find a way.
Now I’m stuck trying to figure out my next steps. Replacing it isn’t going to be easy, especially on a tight budget. If anyone has recommendations for a cheap but reliable electric bike, I’d really appreciate it. Something sturdy, decent battery life, and not a total nightmare to maintain.
Losing my Velowave Ranger hurts, but I guess all I can do is move forward and try to find a solution. Here’s hoping I can find something affordable soon.

You deserve better.
I would research 2 lock systems and a cliche -> airtag.
Thieven dismantle bike into pieces and sell parts for easy money, bike shops can be inform about stolen pieces if they fit with your photo and/or description.
Sometimes they try to sell them online on ebay & Co. you and followers can observe that websites, if your stolen bike online, safe evidences with screencaptures, contact the website owner, and the police.
DO NOT ACT & CONFRONT THE PERSON by Yourself & Followers, you will warn the thief and he vanished with your stolen bike.
