my sister gave my nephew who lives with us one of her electric scooter she owns on a fullcharge doing around 15km it can go travel around 40km he said i can use it when he is at school as long as i take good care of it

i wanted to use it to go up to the shops but im am scared to leave it anywhere as it may be stolen or vandalised/broken

Buy a lock? For some scooters you can buy disc brake locks with cables for attaching to bike stands etc.

Depending on the type of shopping, just take it into the shops with you. They're smaller than your average supermarket trolley.

😉...or you could sell it and buy a keyboard that has a shift key, a full stop and a comma.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

I use two different locks for my e-scooter; one is tiny, and just slips into my pocket - it's not a particularly strong cable, of course, but is ideal for a supermarket trip:

I also have one of these, which comes with a bracket so it can stay on the scooter; it's a bit noisy when going over bumps though!

You can also get locks that go on the disc brakes, but I've not bothered as there's nothing stopping someone picking the scooter up.

But, seriously, basically any bike lock can be used to secure a scooter - it just depends on how secure you need it to be...
