Mopeds

This is how you can help protect your moped: 

  • Chain your moped rear wheel to an immovable object or ground anchor, don’t rely on the steering lock – Standard steering locks are easily defeated and your moped can always be lifted into a van if not secured. Use a disc lock on the front wheel.
  • Fit theft resistant number plate fittings – Stolen number plates are commonly used to hide the identity of stolen vehicles. Use one-way clutch head screws to secure plates.
  • Use a moped cover – Covers are another hassle for an opportunist thief; if they cannot see what moped it is, they are less likely to target it.
  • When possible, keep the lock off the ground – Whenever you lock and chain the rear wheel, wrap any excess chain around the rear wheel and try to enclose the lock. Keeping the lock off the ground can prevent it being attacked and smashed.
