Not much 'traffic' on this forum of late! Let's see if we can change that a bit!
Having an Atlantic 500 and a Scarabeo 150, I am concerned about security of these pieces of equipment while they are out of my garage allowing me to enjoy the enviorns of my part of the great U.S. (Western).
I have heard a few horror stories about theft of different sizes of scooters, tho I would say that, for the most part, these would not be the BIG maxi-scooters.
That said, I believe that every owner of whatever they own, feel that security is important. I am interested in genning up some stimulation about SECURITY DEVICES!
I have a Krypto single-hole disc brake lock that I use from time-to-time, especially while taking a walk in the park or going somewhere unfamiliar. I bought a 2 1/4"w X 1" h RED plastic key tag (actually!!) with the words "REMOVE DISK LOCK" and have a small velcro glued in place and attach it to the yoke of either scooter steering when the disc lock is affixed to the scooters front brake system. Sure don't want to try to drive off...!!!
I, today, purchased a Kryptonite 11 1/2" X 4" wheel lock. This, you would affix to a post or anything 4" or less in diameter and then to your front wheel.
I'm wondering, also, if there are other ways to fashion this particular item to the scooter so you wouldn't, necessarily, have to use a post or something...??? I have not experimented thus far...
So... yes!... Now --------- let's hear stories and ideas concerning this topic.
