You don’t, and they aren’t. No one is stealing a 57.3 pound bike frame, especially if you’ve put a decent lock on it and a stationary object. You can take the battery with you inside, and for work, you probably want to so you can recharge it. Most E-bikes are damn heavy even without the 7.5 pound battery. I’ve owned two so far, and noone has ever fucked with either one. Got the second one after the first one’s motor burned out after almost 11,000 miles.
Literally anyone I know who ever owned an e-bike has had it stolen. I don’t own a bicycle anymore, since I can’t keep them inside and they keep getting stolen.
Not sure where you live, but in major cities this is a huge issue. Just consider the profit to be made on e-bikes.

San Diego, and I have never had an issue. I do have a garage, so that may be why. I don’t want the salty night air rusting the thing.
I could defintely see someone stealing a bike and not realizing the battery is missing, they could have just assumed the battery was dead.
