Very interesting posts on how to secure a scooter. Just from reading this forum, i get the impression that locking a scooter securely is more complicated than locking a bicycle. But that shouldn't be so, should it?? A bike is just as easy if not easier to steal because it's lightweight. But, maybe a scooter is more attractive to thieves? Besides, most theives when looking at my bicycle wouldn't realise it costs $1,400.
I have ones question though about securing a scooter:
Can the Honda Metropolitan use a disc lock?someone said here that the Gorilla doesn't work with the Metro. I saw images of disc locks but have no idea how they work.

The Honda Met has drum brakes, so it will not work with a disc lock. A disc lock requires a disc brake.
Having 2 scoots I worry about them. Especially since I can only afford 1 kryptonite lock at a time!
we do have a back yard, but no real way to get it in there because there are raised steps. It would also be annoying to my landlords if I had to go through their backyard and start a loud scooter next to their window.
so, they both go in a small gated lot, which is on the other side of our new neighbor's house. The fence is only a few feet tall, so you could climb over it easy, but it's metal and locked. I have 1 kryptonite lock that goes on Yoda (sorry Zumi, but you're paid off and 1/2 the price, so....) and to the fence. Zumi gets a thick cable lock. Both are steering-locked and covered. I also have insurance.
I do believe I'll get a NY noose lock to replace the cable lock though, because it's very small. I only used around town during the day, but with 2 scoots I worry during the summer that someone will mess with em.
