To counter this, drive manufacturer Ananda has introduced the R525, a hub motor equipped with integrated anti-theft protection. It is worth addressing the obvious caveat immediately: the system can only lock the wheel, meaning thieves can still physically carry the bike away. The EU-compliant version delivers a rated continuous power output of 250 W and up to 42 Nm of torque on a 36 V system.
