The man fled the E-Mega Store on Cranford St, Redwood, with a $5500 mountain bike and when pursued by a staff member through a car park he turned and produced the electroshock weapon.
"We had a walk in, he grabbed a bike and did a runner.
"Our guy chased him, he nearly got there, he got within a metre of him, and he’s pulled a taser out on him. He ended up getting away.
Police confirmed inquiries were ongoing to locate the e-bike and the offender.
"It is concerning to police when any weapons are used in any situation,” a spokesperson said.
The incident follows the theft of 12 e-scooters during an overnight raid on the premises on October 11.
"We’ve lost 12 scooters and a push bike, there’s about 25 grand worth of bloody stock missing,” Shepherd said.
The business was first burgled in February when two e-bikes were stolen; another e-scooter was taken about six weeks ago during another after-hours raid.
