11 seconds to steal a scooter

It's great that scooters are growing in popularity, however there also appears to be an increase in scooter thefts .

The average scooter in NZ would weigh approximately 85Kg and would be easily lifted on the back of a vehicle by a couple of motivated criminals.

At scooter.co.nz we have yet to lose a scooter to theft, however we recommend that our customers activate the steering lock and secure the scoot to an immovable object with the scooter lock provided.

A news report from CBS Denver shows surveillance footage of three men with a truck stealing a scooter in 11 seconds. The report also features some good tips to prevent theft.
