Prevention tips

Under the guise that prevention is better than cure, we would like to offer you some prevention tips to reduce the risk of theft of your moped or scooter:

• Have a present alarm or anti-theft system on your moped or scooter.
• Always remove the key from the moped if you leave it unattended anywhere, even if only for a short time.
• Park the moped in a well-lit and guarded parking lot whenever possible.
• Attach the scooter "to the ground" or to special racks.
• Always watch your keys. Never leave them unattended in a coat pocket outdoors.
• Use only good, certified ART locks class 3 or higher.
• Install a VbV (Insurance Bureau for Vehicle Crime) certified alarm system or track and trace.
• Have the license plate etched or engraved into plastic parts
• Install a brake disc and steering head lock if possible

Should your moped be stolen despite the preventive measures taken, a moped insurance policy with theft coverage may be able to ease the pain somewhat. On our website, you can easily and quickly compare moped insurance.
