Modern Vespa

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone can advise if there is a way to secure a PX with a drum brake (front and rear) as live in London(for my sins) and considering a 97 PX200 but not sure how I would lock it up at home or in town?
Any ideas?
Thanks

I use these…

The lock fits perfectly around the front hub on my VBB. The chain is pretty burly.

Do the standard wheels have the little notch out of them that the sip tubeless ones have?
I made a lock that uses that hole, a 10mm clevis pin with thick wall pipe slid over it to make it too thick to fit in bolt cutter jaws locked at one end into a padlock that I cut the shackle off. I've got another design in mind using a threaded bar with a plate shaped to the wheel welded on one end so it can't rotate, after inserting it through the wheel a lifting eye is screwed on which you pass a d lock through and around the fork.

For high risk areas though I'd use two angle grinder resistant D locks, one round the fork and the other from it and around a post. Chains which are light enough to carry are much easier to cut than the d locks. https://www.litelok.com/products/litelok-x1

This is the style of anti-theft device that I have seen all the time on my 23 years living in Spain. It was called "piton", every one had them. The dealers would offer it when you purchased it new and it was very specific to the vespas. It would attach from the handle bar(left side) to the center of the chase(below the seat) near the fuel area. Very robust, very cheap, very sturdy(it will last for the life).https://harryscooters.com/product_info.php?products_id=1870

Same stuff 40 years later still popular in Spain. https://vespacenter.es/producto/antirrobo-artago-vespa-todas-classic/

You can still pick it up and stuff it in a van with that lock

Agreed that these are effective and visible.

Another option:
If you have something you can lock it to then a cable around the floorboards, press the rear brake and pass the cable through the loop created by the pedal.

You beat me to it. Two dudes can have a Vespa on the back of a van in 15 seconds tops. Grab it, lift it, toss it inside.

Finally got around to taking a pic of the lock I made

Well

And you can still pick it up

No need to buy shims just cut them out of a beer can, but I doubt any of the thieving chavs round here are that smart.
It's just an easy to carry portable lock equivalent to a disk lock, it isn't going to slow down someone that knows what they're doing for very long at all but at least random opportunist kids can't just run off with it.
I've got the parts to make a second one for the rear.
