WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Ebike with distinctive lighting stolen in Admiral

| Crime | West Seattle news

Maybe you can help find this distinctive ebike:

My bike was stolen just outside of the Benbow Room on California and Admiral in West Seattle at 1:04 pm today, September 1st. Distinguishable features include large trunk on back, has light-up pedals, an underglow that can be turned on, as well as an LED sign that lights up on top of the trunk. I have also included photos of the new tires put on recently … This is my daily commuter and use this to get to and from work. Any help is very much appreciated and I am very grateful.

We’ll add the police-report # when we get it. (UPDATE: It’s 25-253565.)

Sorry this happened and hope you get it back! Did they cut your lock and what type did you use?

I had a Kryptonite u lock and had the rear tire booted. I also had 2 alarms on it, but I was unfortunately too far away to hear them.

Friend rode his e bike to the Ballard Fred Meyer last Wednesday. Got there at 11:30am. Parked in front of the main entrance door put the lock on and went in to shop. Came out 10 minutes later to find his cut lock on the ground and no bike.

I am the owner of the bike. Thank you to everyone that is keeping their eyes peeled for me. The location last pinged this morning along the First Ave S bridge, just over the Duwamish Waterway going northbound and has been stationary between 6:30am and 10:15am. I do have a police report number if anyone happens to spot it. The number is 25-253565. Thank you again to everyone and I am very grateful. 🙏

I spotted this bike up near the salvation army off of 16th it stood out because it was sitting with 50* other bikes next to an RV.

  I didn’t see this message until about 8:00pm. I just had my sister drive me by there to see, but it was too dark. I will return tomorrow and check again when it’s light. I will try calling the non-emergency line and have an officer go with me. Will update after checking tomorrow. Thank you so much for the information!

  No luck. :( Thank you for the information though. It was worth a shot. Any information is helpful.

I appreciate all of the help from everyone. I have gone over the footage at Benbow Room and we managed to get footage of the person who took my bike. I sent the photos to WSB and hoping to get an update soon. Last time I got a ping from my GPS was at about 12:53pm today. It showed it was at McCaw Hall, but upon checking, I did not see my bike there. I now know what kind of vehicle I am looking for. It is a white Dodge Ram. I’m not sure what year, but there is a dent on the driver’s side passenger door. It’s some form of lead for now.

Sorry, comment time is over.
