How to protect your electric scooter or electric bicycle against theft

Electric scooters and e-bikes have become popular means of transportation, but unfortunately they are also attractive to thieves. Protecting your electric scooter or e-bike is therefore important to reduce the risk of theft. Here you will find tips on how to protect your electric scooter or e-bike against theft, as well as suggestions for effective locks from Wheely Shop.

1. Use multiple locks for extra security

Combining different types of locks makes it harder for a thief to quickly take your e-scooter or e-bike. A smart tip is to use both a disc brake lock and a chain lock, which provides double layers of protection.

• Wheely Shops Disc brake lock with alarm system has a built-in alarm function that sounds loudly if the lock is disturbed, which immediately deters the thief.
• Feel free to combine this with a Smart chain lock, a robust and flexible option that is difficult to break.

2. Lock the electric scooter or e-bike to fixed objects

If possible, always lock your e-scooter or e-bike to a fixed object, such as a bike rack or fence. This makes it more difficult for a thief to lift it away.

• A Smart spiral lock plus is perfect for this purpose. Its flexible design makes it easy to attach the bike to various objects, and its robust construction provides increased safety.

3. Use locks with unique features

Locks with extra security features, such as combination locks or locks with alarms, make it both more difficult and less attractive for the thief to steal the vehicle.

• A Combination lock is a good choice for those who want to avoid having to keep track of keys. The code is easy to set and provides a secure security solution.
• A Smart handcuff lock is a smaller and lighter option that is perfect for securing smaller components or as a secondary lock.

4. Install a disc brake lock for direct wheel locking

Disc brake locks prevent the wheel from moving, making it impossible for the thief to easily roll away your electric scooter or e-bike.

• Wheely Shops Smart disc brake lock is an effective lock for electric scooters with disc brakes. This lock is easy to install and provides high security by locking the wheel.

5. Park in well-lit and well-trafficked areas

A simple but effective strategy to reduce the risk of theft is to park in areas with good lighting and lots of traffic. Thieves often shy away from stealing where they can be easily spotted.

6. Bring the battery in

If you have an electric bike, consider taking the battery with you when parking for extended periods. A vehicle without a battery is both less attractive to thieves and harder to resell.

Protecting your electric scooter or e-bike from theft often requires a combination of proper parking habits and secure locks. At Wheely Shop you will find several options for locks for different security needs. For example, choose a Smart spiral lock or one Disc brake lock with alarm system to maximize security and protect your investment.
