The eBike Store on N. Vancouver Street and Alberta was burglarized early this morning. Owner Wakefield Gregg says thieves threw a brick through one of his storefront windows and took a bike valued at $1,800.

This is the second smash and grab at a North Portland bike shop in less than a month. On February 27th, thieves broke into Cascade Cycling which is just a few blocks north of The eBike Store.

The bike stolen from The eBike Store is a blue eZee Sprint step-through and Gregg says the thieves didn’t steal a charger or a battery so “they might not be enjoying the bike to its fullest potential.”
