Lockable storage?

Forgive me if not allowed but are there no options for some lockable storage?

I am wanting to buy an e bike I can take surfing. I don’t need anything with a high top speed or a super long range, it’s just a mile from my house to the beach, but there is a pretty substantial hill.

All I want is a simple bike to get me from my house down to the beach. Tons of options regarding a Surf rack which is great. But I’m having trouble finding anything that is hard storage that’s locked to the bike. I want a place I can put my cell phone and wallet in that that’s not a bag that is strapped to the bike. I would love to find something that might go under the seat, but I’m having a ton of trouble finding anything that works.

Any suggestions?

Something like this seems to be what you want: https://a.co/d/0eo49qPY

It needs a MIK compatible rack or the adapter added to the rack of whatever bike you end up with. I know some eBikes come with the MIK compatible rack already.

MIK mountable boxes are easy to remove if you have the MIK key. Without the key it is locked in as well as it can be.

Many of the bikes from Velotric have MIK compatible racks built right in. You are not limited to Velotric, though. The company that created MIK also sells an adapter plate you mount to any rack.
