It's likely not an issue at the moment because electric bikes are still a novelty: highly recognizable and harder to resell. Should they get popular, then sure, it would be an issue, exactly like it is for any bike.

Btw, it's ridiculous that in 2015 we still haven't solved the problem of stolen bikes.

$3,500 for that is so crazy.

When your bike is your car you can rationalize spending an almost unlimited amount cycling gear and gadgets under the guise of saving money. (I speak here from experience).
