Locking Sucess
Hi Bavarian, a VERY good idea! at 97+ lbs the Whizzer is a burden to carry, and with the stand down VERY unwieldy! I had not considered the need to lock mine (immobilize) but that will work nicely! In addition, if you wanted to, you could run a cable thru that lock, and attach to other Whizzers, or anything stationary!
Simplicity of design to me equals elegance. A mechanical contrivance, easily built, and nearly indestructable should be the goal of ALL builders.
I wish our Throw-away society understood this as well as you (apparently) and I do.
Good Job!

Good idea. Kinda like a disc brake lock on bigger bikes.
I'm also going to suggest locking it to something immobile so it can't be thrown into the back of a truck. That seems to be the way most motorcycles are stolen.

Unfamiliar with Whizzer bikestand.
This might sound silly, but couldn't the thief simply unbolt the stand from the frame?

This method will not stop someone that is actively searching for a Whizzer to steel. Nothing will stop them. This will stop someone that is thinking they can just walk or ride off with the bike. A crime of opportunity so to speak. I don't know many thieves that carry wrench sets in their pockets.

The way I heard it; "Locks don't stop thieves, they keep good folks from going bad." I will be drilling my center stand soon, I don't want to corrupt anybody.
Thanks for an elegant solution.
