Various systems and methods associated with protecting a rider of an electric bicycle from hazards while riding their bicycle are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance the safety of the rider in response current detected conditions surrounding the rider, such as conditions associated with the route or path traveled by the rider, other vehicles within the route or path traveled by the rider, potential hazards within the route or path traveled by the rider, environmental conditions through which the rider is traveling, and so on.

A smart cable lock is provided that is configured to mechanically secure items and provide an automatic determination that securing is achieved. The smart cable may be integrated into a vehicle, or otherwise may communicate with a vehicle. The vehicle includes one or more ports configured to house the cable when not in use. In some embodiments, an accessory includes one or more ports configured to engage with the connector. In some embodiments, the cable is affixed to the vehicle at one end, using a retractor, for example, and can be unspooled, intertwined with equipment, and then secured to a port on the vehicle. The smart cable lock secures and releases a latch based on user indications and authorizations. For example, if the cable is destroyed or damaged, or an unauthorized indication is made, the cable lock system may sound an alarm, or otherwise alert the user.

A tracking element protection device includes a first part, two clamp members and a second part. The first part includes a first recess, and the second part includes a second recess. A tracking element is received in the first recess. The first and second parts are connected to each other by two fasteners. The two clamp members are located between the first and second parts so as to clamp the protection device to a bicycle frame between the two clamp members. Each fastener includes a head and a threaded shank which extends through the second part and is threadedly connected a threaded hole in the first part. The head of each fastener includes three first positioning portions. A key is mounted to the head and includes three second positioning portions which are engaged with the first positioning portions to unscrew the fastener to separate the first and second parts.

An anti-theft device for a bicycle includes a fork unit that has a first fork bar and a second fork bar. The first fork bar has a passage and the second fork bar has a receiving opening. A securing element can be arranged in the fork unit to pass through the first fork bar in the passage and engage in the receiving opening. The securing element passes through a spoke region of a front wheel of the bicycle. The securing element has an engagement contour that engages in the receiving opening. A locking unit with an electromechanical drive is arranged in the second fork bar. The locking unit has a locking contour, which is connected the electromechanical drive and engages in the engagement contour in the locking state. An electronic control unit controls the electromechanical drive to unlock the unit.
