best electric bike world image

I have a developed electric scooter. I want to take it places like to the store, movie theaters around town etc. I'm close enough to all these places but too far to walk. I want to use my scooter to get there but am afraid that someone just might pick it up and walk away with it. It's 70 pounds, which wouldn't be too hard to pick up and go, but definitely inconvenient to just pick up myself and walk around with it. How do I secure it? Is there anything in the scooter world that addresses this problem?
Answer
The answer is simple. Get a big chain and a big padlock and when you park it anywhere, chain it up, even if it is only for a few minutes.
Ideally, the chain should go round the front fork, through the front whell and around a heavy immovable object.
Do not simply wrap the chain through the wheel and the fork as a favourite trick of motorbike thieves is to stick a metal bar through each wheel and carry the bike off into a waiting van.
Also, do not allow the padlock to lie of the ground as it is much more vulnerable to being hit by a hammer (if it is off the ground all the thief can do is give it a glancing blow).
I would also advise parking it somewhere where people walk past as a thief will never want to work with an audience.
If you make it hard for a thief, they will move on and look for easier pickings. If there is a big chain and padlock, they will not risk it. Every second they spend either trying to pick or break the lock or cut the chain will dramatically raise their chances of getting caught so if you have visible protection in a public place they will move on.
I was reading a motorbike magazine recently and they found the state of most motorcycle locks and chains to be very unsatisfactory. despite this I would still advise one as normal bike locks are even flimsier.

Are new electric motorcycles going to be grossly overpriced?

I noticed this with more fuel efficient cars. When they first came out, they were expensive. Actually, they still are. Well, I'm hoping this isn't the case with the new electric motorcycles. Any ideas on how much those things are going to cost and how far they can go?
Answer
Many of the currently available E-bikes available world wide are assembled in the PRC, and are relatively cheap. In part this is due to the very low labour costs and large volume of production. Another reason is that very little is spent on research and development, though some claim that designing a new logo and paint scheme is 'R&D'.
So once a couple of new E-bikes are taken apart and copied by these assemblers, they will quickly start selling them worldwide. Undercutting the companies that have spent a lot to develop the technology.
