I love the ending where the guy used all four locks to lock up his scooter 😄
Safety first 😜
That's gonna be me. I just got a scooter and I LOVE it but I live in a very large & busy city. Theft is everywhere and rarely prosecuted. So when I go to the market for 30m-1h I will be using all 4 locks + digital + alarm 😂👍
😂😂😂 S'ogun l'ayé ni?
I always carry with me a U-lock with an extension chain and a flexible lock. Great tips!
This is super helpful, thank you!
I like the folding lock ...thanks for the so useful information !!
Great tip about suspending the lock mechanism, above the ground, as to avoid hammer attacks. Thx for the compact & substantive videos=)
Right. That never occurred to me
Imagine getting your scooter stolen while you're in a store buying a lock
lol, that would be sad
Very informative. Thank you.
Glad I could help
I have same scooter
Love it so much
I use a combination of thick chain lock and a disc brake lock with an alarm for my Vsett 10+.
Thanks for that. I think the chain lock is the best all-round, for me anyways - so it weighs a little more, but better that weight than the weight of worry. Re: Lock location, locking away from the ground, suspending the lock: Great tip.
You are absolutely right!
Opting for the best compromise: folding lock. Can’t be lugging a huge lock in my backpack all the time. Thanks!
Great choice!
Just make sure it can withstanding a angle grinder for a few minutes.
Liteloc and Hiploc are the best on the market! They can resist grinder attacks! They are more expensive! 189$!
Yeah, these brands are good.
Is that the Segway Ninebot F40?
I'm using all these locks at once with the addition of a cuff lock. I also arm 2 motion alarms on my scooter then cover it with a bike cover that can be secured with a cable lock so it conceals where the alarms are as well as the hard locks underneath so the thief can back off before he even takes the cover off!
I'm using the Seatylock Mason, Foldylock Compact and Seatylock Viking for the U-lock, folding lock and chain, respectively.
Using all these to lock my current Segway Ninebot Max G30LP and my soon to be brand new Segway Ninebot F2 Pro!
I am using Ninebot F40 and NIU KQi2 in the video.
You are very thorough in protecting your property :)
I dont mind spending 5 minutes locking and unlocking the scooter with a few locks if it means no one steals it
Totally agree with you.
Maybe add a tracking device also
yes you need to lock it physically or digital but the best way to do please don't leave your escooter or ebike outside for long period time coz no matter what lock you use, it will disappear coz having more time outside more chance to find a way to steal it
Good thoughts!
wow where is that 4:12 ?
garden city, denmark
I need an e-scooter to go to the gym and am looking for an e-scooter with the best locking points. What do you recommend?
For getting to the gym you don't need something expensive and fancy I guess. So I would pick something with a good price/quality ratio like NIU KQi3 or Ninebot F40.
@@ElectricWheelers but I weigh 100kg and live up a big hill. Gym does not allow to bring escooter inside.
@@ElectricWheelers I will check. Thanks.
@@SuperSokol7 100kg is no problem for most of the scooters. And you just need to buy a good lock. This video provided some good insights.
@@ElectricWheelers Thanx, the next issue what if I go to the gym and leave my e-scooter outside and it starts raining? How rain resitant are e-scooters from rain? I usually go to the gym for about 2hours.
U dont need backpack for chain lock.
I just wrap it around the frame
Good tip!
What about the handcuffs locks ?
They are uncommon, so I didn't include them in this video. But in general, they are much more secure than cable locks but not as secure as chain locks or U-locks.
If you live in the city area and have fair crime u need a D Lock capable of withstanding a angle grinder for at least 10minutes or more.
Hiplock D1000 or
Altor SAF for example
You need one or two alarms, one for to scare and one to put inside the scooter or hide.
You need GPS hidden inside the scooter and a
gps sticker to warn criminals to not even bother trying.
And maybe a laminated security note hung on the scooter letting them know how risky it is to steal it.
If u r making quick trips and dont plan on being gone for 10 minute's or more than just the d lock AND folding lock. Never a cable lock.
Thanks for the good suggestions!
Everything you saying is true . I found a U -lock with a alarm . I don’t know if it’s good though do you have any suggestions?
I’m considering getting the kyrptonite u lock with the kyrptonite thick chain use both to lock my scooter
@@albertomejia7656 kryptonite is a piece of crap when up against a angle grinder. I gave examples already.
When in doubt, multiply the effort by using multiple locks. Chain/U Lock/Folding lock/Alarm/GPS Sticker. Make them work for it. Assuming your going to be away for a period of time.
Water thanks for these tips I've been searching Internet and couldn't find direct like this
The best locks r so expensive and all they really do is slow a theif down by a min or two.
I decided on medium price locks and just spent the money I otherwise would of used on insurance. Piece of mind
I totally agree with you. There's no lock that works 100% of the time. But if your scooter has a decent lock and there is one next to yours with a poor lock - a thief rather takes the other one.
always add an alarm not just lock
Stupid that most scooters do not have open locking points, eg VMAX, Segway. Which scooters have open locking points?
Helpful video, but not as helpful for those times (which is often the majority of the time) when there is nothing to lock the scooter , like a bike rack etc..., than your stuck with only
the ability to use a large enough lock to lock the front wheel to back wheel, etc...and it still be picked up and carried away,
If anyone has any recc. for quality security gear please comment! I got a new scooter but theft here is common & unprosecuted! Budget is unlimited! Safety is #1 for me! 👇
I just got a new NIU KQi3 Max and I LOVE it!! But I live in very large & busy cities where theft is everywhere & insurance is expensive!
So when I must park my scooter, I want to use all 4 locks + digital + app + alarm 😂👍
But I don't know what to get! Many ppl recommend folding locks, but theives here are fast & professional. Power tools & lock picking are as common as opportunistic theft & vandalism from homeless. (Yes, I'm in both downtown Los Angeles & San Fransisco California, back & forth for work 😅)
I will not leave it overnight, but 30min-1hr is likely if I can't bring it with me certain places. Trust me, that's long enough to be worried!! NYC is safer!
Any lock/security product is worth it if they will protect my scooter!! So, please, tell me all your best lock & security products! I want real reviews from real people!
put a air tag on it to track it if someone does steal it
Yeah, that's a good advice
I live in Arab Country i keep it open and go 😂
Nice :)
