Scooter Lock-up (2024)

FAQs

How do you lock up your scooter? ›

You can also wrap the floorboard of the scooter when using an appropriate length chain. For maximum protection, Kryptonite recommends using two locks: a disc lock, to prevent roll away theft, as well as a chain or u-lock that is fixed to an immovable object to prevent lift away theft.

The Apollo City 2022 and City Pro have carrying handles that are part of the frame and perfect for threading a lock. These are just some of the most common and most secure places to anchor your scooter, but use your best judgment when it comes to your specific make and model.

Get the right gear

Simple gear like good locks, an audible alarm, and GPS tracking are some of the best scooter theft prevention tools available. Chains should be made of heavy, hardened steel designed to resist bolt cutters and similar tools. You can also use solid D-locks to block the wheels.

Invest in a high-quality lock, such as a wheel clamp or a heavy-duty chain lock, to physically secure your scooter. Consider installing a GPS tracker and an alarm system for added security. Always remove the ignition key when leaving your scooter unattended, and try to park in well-lit, secure areas.

As a general rule, the top speed of a 50cc moped or scooter will be restricted to 30mph. However when looking at some of the most popular 50cc mopeds out there - many 50cc sit comfortably at the 28mph mark.

The most important thing is to lock your scooter's frame. This will prevent thieves from simply picking up your scooter and riding away. Thread the lock through your scooter's frame and around a fixed object.

Use Micro's combination lock to keep your scooter secure. Choose your own combination, then wrap your scooter up tight, or wrap around a fixed post or bike rack with the push-button retracting cable. We recommend looping the cable through your scooter's wheel.

Scooter Trackers

Tracker strives to continually innovate our range of stolen vehicle recovery systems to ensure our scooter customers can always have peace of mind. We offer both standard GPS scooter trackers and Tracker's patented VHF tracking technology.

When at home the best place to keep your motorcycle, moped or scooter is in your garage or shed. Fit a garage door defender or upgrade garage door locks. Garage and shed alarms as well as low level dusk to dawn lighting will also enhance security. Fitting a ground anchor also provides extra security.
