Lock for scooter

[Zaardvark]

Hi,

We are going to be commuting to scoot with my daughter using her maxi scooter - I think we can lock it up at the school but I wanted recommendations for the best way for it.

I found this

Has anyone used one of these? It looks rather flimsy.

We have one of these (older version of this) and I think it's quite handy. You can put the metal wire through the wheels and/or wrap it around the steering bar a few times and then tighten it up. We mainly use is to lock the scooter up to a bannister in a communal hallway where the front door to the street doesn't always close properly. Don't know how robust it really is if someone tried to take it apart and really put their mind to it (the metal wire is quite strong though) but I'd imagine it would be ok for locking up the scooter at school. The scooters are otherwise quite difficult to lock up as bicycle locks are too thick to go through the wheels etc.

What I;ve used with some success is a padlock with an extra long loop (you can get them from the lock place in ED near to AJ Farmers) or an ordinary D-lock - quite tricky but you can just about get it through the bit where the front wheels attach to the main body. Have now just got hold of a ruck sack long metal cord padlock which will thread through a couple of scooters.

Sadly all this info rather useless now as we had one of ours stolen through leaving it unlocke outside our front door doh!

Cheers - sorry to hear about yours being stolen B-N.
