How easily can this be removed? (I wouldn't want this to be stolen and might consider taking it off when parking the bike.)

The lites easily snap on and off..... if they connect to more than one spoke, it's a little tougher.... maybe ten seconds. If they only connect to one spoke.... could be trouble and may even snap off as you pedal. If you park anywhere where you can't keep an eye on the bike... the smart thing would be for YOU to snap them off. I do !

Hey Belle,Id say it is relatively easy to remove, but when I lock my bike up I have not had anyone touch those lights. I think they go relatively unnoticed by pedestrians walking by, unless they are lit up. So I wouldnt worry too much about them being lifted off your bike. I think you would be more likely to get the whole wheel stolen.

I don't think it can be removed without destroying it. That being said, I don't see how removing it would affect the operation of the crankset.

sorry haven't tried to remove it. I would think from putting it up it wouldn't be too hard, but not sure. Sorry

Yes, it can be removed easily. I remove it after every use for easier storage.

It isn't designed to come off but I guess you could cut it off. I haven't had a problem with mine at all.

I wouldn't leave my bike out of eye sight while it's on. If I had to leave my bike somewhere where I couldn't see it I'd take it with me as it's really easy to remove which is the great thing about it. Quick to throw on for long rides and easy to remove when you need to.

Yes, it is not too difficult to remove, you just have to bend it a little. Once it is snapped on, it feels very secure though.

Very easy to remove. As other has said, it takes a bit of time the first time but afterwards its ok. Longest time is spent making sure it is even/centered on the rack.

I use a flathead screwdriver and pry it off. There are 3 little pieces that hold it in. I found the first time that I need to be more aggressive than I thought was safe, but it came off with no damage. Just work the screwdriver around the outside metal ring and you'll get it off.

Easy. I simply pull it straight up to remove. I purchased a second one as a gift. That shows how much I like the product.

No. It can't be removed. Be careful not to drop it. I'll brake. It happened to me the 1st time. I bought it again because it works great and it comes with the stand. That's a great plus.

That's a great question. I haven't tried removing it. So far it's holding in place nicely with no adhesive sneaking out or peeling along edges. It's protecting the back from scratches which is why I got it.

If someone had a screwdriver, it could be removed in about 30 seconds. With a battery operated drill/screwdriver it could be removed in 10 seconds.I think the risk is small considering it's value to a thief. What's the reduced risk of getting hit by a car that doesn't see you worth? Make sure youlock your bike first.

I've never tried removing it, but I would imagine that you might also be able to simply avoid installing it during the initial setup. Hope that helps...

This isn't a basket that is meant to be removed at will. It attaches to the rack via brackets and bolts that would take time. It can be removed but not casually (I have a bicycle basket that comes off with the press of a release button). This is not like that.

the holder that mounts on the bike has a hand screw to loosen it so it can easily be removed. It's very Steal-able... but the fact that it comes off easily is actually an advantage for me because it's a super flashlight even without the bike mount so I just remove it when I park my bike and use it to find my house keys and walk up to my house. I clip it onto the keychain with my bike lock key so I don't forget to bring it back out to my bike the next time I go riding.
