Follow these tips to keep your motorbike, moped or scooter safe:

Motorbikes

  • Always lock your bike and set its alarm if it has one.
  • Try to use a designated motorcycle parking place with a stand and security loop.
  • When leaving your bike for some time, try to lock it to something secure. At home, you can fit special attachments to lock your bike to.
  • Don’t leave items such as helmets or other possessions with your bike.

Preventing scooter/moped thefts – Scooters and mopeds are becoming increasingly popular, both with commuters and thieves. These types of vehicle are nearly four times more likely to be stolen that motorbikes. Scooters and mopeds are light and easy to steal if they’re not parked securely, so it’s worth taking extra precautions.

  • Park in safe areas where there are lots of passers-by and onlookers who will see if anyone is tampering with your scooter.
  • Never leave anything, including your helmet, unsecured and on display.
  • Have an alarm and immobiliser fitted – it is almost certainly worth the investment.
