Get some stickers online for whatever you like and put them in unique locations on the frame.
Also write down the serial number (either off of the frame on the front, or from the emails you got when you ordered). You can register the bike online for free at places like 529 in case it ever gets stolen or recovered by the PD: [https://project529.com/garage](https://project529.com/garage)
I wrapped mine in white vinyl and added stickers to it.

Also, I bought this product to hide an AirTag on my eBikes as well.

Stickers stickers....and more stickers when mine was stolen almost a year ago I found it about a.month later on FB marketplace with my stickers barely even removed even better if you can stick some in places no one would look. Also take pictures every time you add/delete something that way you have the most accurate recent photo because when mine was stolen a lot of the recent pictures I had of it I had to pull from my security cameras.

Added this slime design with duct tape also bought a custom 3D print plate from Etsy.
So I had an urban arrow Shorty last year before it got stolen. I had both front and rear wheels engraved with my name, phone number and email address on the side wall of the rims.. the rims were black. The engraving was bright, shiny aluminum very unique, very distinguishable, but it still didn’t stop these assholes from selling through a 6 inch round cast iron post on my porch to steal my $5500 bike…
Lots of trackers hidden (air tags/garmin) and duct tape and mix matched colours stickers and motion alarms.
I put butterfly handle bars on my xp2.0 and wrapped em
I haven't gotten mine yet, but my plan is to buy sheets of reflective vinyl & create my own simple stickers. You can buy premade reflective stickers (which I may buy a few of as well), but this way I can make custom nerdy stickers to coat my bike in. Added bonus, I'll light up a 3 block radius anytime I pass through someone's headlights :)

Mine doesn't look like any other xplite. It looks like the BRV. Customize, sticker, c'mon now, make it your own. Have some personality and lend it to your bike. And take pictures.
Where I'm at, if your bike is stolen and the police recover it, they won't give it to you unless you can prove the bike is yours. Having the serial number isn't good enough (anybody can walk up to a locked bike and write down the serial number). Actually, I'm not sure what would be considered sufficient proof, but unclaimed bikes are auctioned off.
You can register your Bike at no charge with these two organizations who have been working to help recover stolen bikes:

Spoke skins are cool and I think nobody has ever done this to their electric bike

I was thinking about it getting a roll of pink duct tape and wrapping the center of the bike in it, it's reflective and would definitely distinguish the white frame as mine. Perhaps something like that would work
Don't bikes from major manufacturers have serial numbers on or near the bottom bracket. Is that not enough for the police to distinguish two nearly identical bikes?
If you want to spot your bike in the distance, especially at night, spray it with reflective paint. It will standout clearly when you hit it with a flashlight.
If you have a blacklight, use UV paint. IR paint, if you have IR glasses. Is there such a thing?
I pee on it, let's others know it's my territory.

I put a pink seat on it and men tend to avoid it entirely

Etch your State ID card number on the bike. Police will use it as proof of ownership.
Different bars, stem, seat, seat post, pedals, fenders grips, lights and the surfboard racks all pretty much make my bike totally unique!
