Adaptive DCS is calling on the cycling community to keep its eyes peeled for a number of unique 3T Bikes after they were targeted by thieves earlier this week.

3T has only recently been re-introduced to the UK market through Adaptive DCS and the ‘electric boost’ models are here in very limited quantities.

Two of the bikes that were stolen are brand new models and are the only ones in the UK, namely, a 3T RaceMax Italia Project X in raw carbon finish and a 3T Exploro in BMW collaboration paint scheme.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of burglary following the crime, but have since been released on bail.

A spokesperson from Derbyshire Police commented: “We received reports of a burglary at a business in Derbyshire on May 9.

“A number of electric bikes, battery packs and bike equipment were stolen during the burglary, which occurred between 11pm and 11.45pm. A 42-year-old man and a 29-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of burglary. They have been released on bail as enquiries continue.

“Anyone with any information on the burglary is asked to contact us, quoting the reference 24*272334. You can also anonymously contact the independent charity CrimeStoppers, on 0800 555 111, or by visiting the CrimeStoppers website.”

A spokesperson from Derbyshire-based Adaptive DCS added: “Our attention now turns to finding these bikes and we request the support of the bike industry and cycling communities to inform us or the police of sightings or online listings of these very specific bikes.”
