That's what i purchased (see my post above). I don't trust this item though. The lock moves too much in the housing and the first time I applied it, it took an awful lot to get it to unlock -
I use this lock when popping into a store and parked in a conspicuous space in a highly populated lot. Bright color announces a lock.
Probably never meant to be a theft stop if scoot is parked in a concealed area or a repetitive location.
If it moves a lot use the provided xtra insert  - is never going to come off without tearing up something. Squeeze it and lock pops open with the key.
I use this (on front brake) and the alarmed/pager Bully lock on the rear wheel to prevent a roll-away theft when parked in a conspicuous and public place.
Unfortunately a lightweight scooter is too vulnerable if parked someplace like a State park lot - while I go off hiking. I just don't do it.
I am well insured - but .....
I do understand those who say, "Insure it well and forget about it." ( a more stress-free way to live!)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I use a rotor lock so it won't be ridden/pushed away. If they carry it to a p/u or van it's just gone.
