How to Prevent E-Scooter Theft: Anti-Theft E-Scooter Tracker
Electric bikes and electric scooters have been revolutionizing urban transportation for over a decade now. Some cities, such as New York City, have strict restrictions and regulations when it comes to these vehicles. As e-scooters popularity continues to rise, so does the theft of these motorized rides.
Fortunately, there are many ways that you can prevent having your e-scooter stolen. This article will explore the benefits of using Tile’s anti-theft e-scooter trackers, as well as top-notch tips for deterring thieves.
4 Tips for Preventing E-Scooter Theft
1. Secure Your Scooter with Locks
Step one for anti-theft protection is locking down your ride. Opt for high quality locks that are specifically designed for e-scooters. Seeing the lock alone is a good enough deterrent for thieves looking for a quick pick.
2. Embrace the Power of Tracking
Placing a Bluetooth tracking device on your scooter, in an area that thieves cannot see, can ensure that you will be able to find your ride in the case that someone does take it. Simply place a Tile Sticker out of sight and activate Anti-Theft Mode, a feature that puts your device in incognito mode for anyone scanning for trackers. With a 250-foot range, you can keep track of your e-scooter when it is nearby, and the Tile Network can help you track its location out of range when you mark your scooter as ‘Lost’.
3. Park Your E-Scooter Wisely
Clear visibility is your friend. While it may be tempting to try to hide your scooter, it is actually ideal for thieves to steal when there are no witnesses around. Opt to park your scooter in well-lit, high foot traffic areas to deter any nefarious activities.
4. Register Your E-Scooter
If local authorities require you to register your scooter, do it. Doing so will place your scooters information into official databases which can significantly aid in the recovery of you ride if it does get stolen.
