I take my scooter inside everywhere I go, don't care if it weighs a ton, it comes everywhere I go. Some malls wont allow you to bring it inside so I have a special bag I put my scooter into and carry it over my back so they cannot tell it's a scooter I am carrying. I charge it from coffee shop outlets, I secretly plug it in, free juice! hehe.

So do these locks really keep your scooter safe? I’m thinking about getting my first scooter, and I’m just worried about the security when I have to go to a mall or something

@landpet

3 жыл бұрын

No lock is completely safe. I always try to take my scooter with me, but if not, then this is what I use. I always try to lock it up in a very public place where there are a lot of people around, rather than hidden away from everything. There are alarms and other things as well that help but nothing will stop an angle grinder. Angle grinders make metal feel like butter sometimes, granted they are loud and can draw attention :). For more discrete solutions, people can in theory take off your handle bars and your front wheel and try to slide off the lock as well, this will take some time to do. Hence why I have the additional chain to help restrain it even more by keeping the U Lock more confined. Again, at the end of the day, if someone REALLY wants to steal your scooter, there's not much you can do. This is just a good deterrent, nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah something to keep in mind with the locks is whether your scooter can just be dismantled to remove the lock by unscrewing a few screws. If that is the case you just have to factor that in to how securely locked the scooter really is and perhaps not bother with the most expensive locks if nobody in their right mind is going to try to destroy them anyway when there is the easy way.

@chaxologist2961

Use a handcuff-style lock around the neck of the scooter which can secure far narrower than a U-lock and then you could place a much narrower U-lock than your previous one such as a Seatylock Mason U-lock underneath it to prevent thefts such as this one. That way, you just got yourself 2 strong locks to secure your scooter, both requiring angle grinders to remove them.
