Have any of you made something so that it helps stabilize your ride from blowing over from the wind. My brother lives in a condo and he parks his scooter in front of his car (assigned parking spots) in the garage structure with a cover. The worry is that the wind here in the Windy City could tip it over.

I was thinking of making something out of wood that he could leave on the parking pad that hugs one of the wheels. Any thoughts?

Thanks

it's a little expensive but maybe you could build something like it.

here this is cheaper. perhaps add a couple cross bars for more support, idk.
