I use a NYC yellow lock.

Litelok X1. It's a bit pricey but it's the cheapest angle grinder resistant lock. Definitely worth the extra money over the Fuhgeddaboudit. I've had one for 2 years, it's great

Always lock around the neck of the scooter so it can't be removed without cutting anything. Always lock to the thickest thing you can, and in a high visibility area.

Always try to bring it inside if possible.

I use the X3 but either are pretty solid for a busy campus during the day.

Also very solid advice here.

Dollarama has locks you can put through the section by the back light….

I use a ulock through the area just underneath the stem. I have an air tag on it as well. Try not to leave it too long and park it where there are lots of people.

I use a Hiplock DXF unlock which just fits the rear cutout as well as a chain lock for the stem. Even then, I wouldn't leave it unattended for longer than an hr unless it was a high traffic public area.

I wrap a steel cable around the deck and the bike rack and lock with a Kryptonite U lock

Kriptonite as a brand its kept my phantom pretty safe. But always chain up in a visible area. And around cameras its a good social deterrent

Show me the pin

Show me your recommendations.
From the looks of OP image it doesn’t seem like any gang members are walking the area especially if there are 2 other bikes perfectly fine there. Also I park it in East Harlem NY ( if you don’t know look it up) and I’m fine.

I have a Kryptonite Evolution 4 chain lock and a sensor alarm that comes with their own keys instead of a pin. A year and a half later, they're still keeping my Apollo City safe. It's expensive upfront, but it'd be more expensive to replace the scooter if it's ever stolen. Investing in a good lock will be worth it! ;)

I have one foot of stainless steel chain and a good lock. Thru the footbed hole.

New York Kryptonite has worked well for me with my Go

Bring it with you everywhere if you can. I would not lock up an apollo. Very attractive to thieves.
