How many of you dawgs, have alarms on your scooters?... For along time now( 5 yrs) I have never had an alarm system on my Bali 250.. I read post, that said, the alarms drain the battery. So I never got one. Got to looking on Amazon and some hooked up to the scooter power source and others did not. Some were fairly expensive and others cost hardly anything. I got to looking at this one alarm system- it ran off its own power source( a 9v battery), put a alarm at 120 db that is loud, came with own key chain activator, cost $9.15 made in Hong Kong. Free shipping. So I ordered 2 and received them- one for my Bali 250 and the other for my wife's Honda Rebel. They both work go. The power source will last along time, because the alarm does not sound always. It is sort of like a smoke detector, in that it uses a 9v battery and is on continuously until alarm senses smoke. Most smoke detectors last 6 month before needing to change battery. So the same principle is setup with this alarm, that it only sounds if scooter is slightly moved, tampered with.. It will scare a thief.. Attachments:

An alarm that does not immobilize is of little use most times. Had one theif who simply plugged in a flashing light and drive off when the vehicle he was boosting had an alarm. People pulled over and let him pass. Of course he was not boosting 50 cc scooters just cages and larger bikes.

With a good quality GPS tracker if your scoot is ever stolen, it will lead the cops right to the crooks front door.

Yes, a GPS tracker would be idea to get thieves to leave your scooter alone, but GPS tracking systems cost big bucks too. You also don't want to alert someone, that you have one, otherwise they will search and take it off the scooter. Mine will work good for around here. It just detours thieves that would want to steal the motorcycle or scooter. Nothing is 100% guaranteed.. But with making a loud alarm that neighbors and we can here inside our mobilehomes, well this would scare off any thieves. The scooter and motorcycle are fully covered under insurance too. That is also in case of theft.. Insurance may go down a little if we tell them we have anti theft alarms on them also. Mine can be locked through disk too. So a thief could not take it rolling. Too immobilize it, one would be searching a good 2 minutes with the alarm going off. I heard some insurance companies will take off on the bill, if certain things are attached.

I chain mine up with a 1/2inch grade 80 chain like a bicycle and then lock the steering. So far no problems but i would like to get a gps tracking system eventually.

Some will just a get a cheap pay as you go GPS cell phone and wire it to the scooters electrical system so it always stays charged. If the bike is stolen they activate the phone and ping its GPS for the location.
