Reece's gran Sylvia Glass told the Courier the bike had been found dumped on the beach at Prestonpans and badly damaged.
She said it had been thrown in the water and attempts made to set the petrol tank on fire.
Sylvia said: "Unfortunately his bike has been found vandalised at Prestonpans beach."
Police are appealing for help tracing those responsible for the theft which happened on Saturday night.
Reece's mum Kelly-Ann has set up a Justgiving page to try and raise money for a new bike. To support it go to www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/lee-ness?
