Electric scooter locks are, unfortunately, a must in the urban environment. Anything that looks relatively useful or fun tends to disappear quickly as those who like to steal take advantage of any opportunity they can to add to their belongings at someone else\u2019s expense. As a result, anyone with an electric scooter in working condition is also going to have to invest in some basic security tools to keep it in place when not standing right next to the vehicle.

The lock needs to be substantial enough that it makes trying to steal the electric scooter or parts of absolutely a pain in the rear and not worth the trouble.

The frame and wheel of the scooter needs to be locked so the thief doesn\u2019t have much reward for a lot of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
