Why I Built the Scoot-Boot

"I’ve been a victim of bike theft, and I know that sinking feeling. But that’s not actually why I built this company.

You invest in an e-bike or scooter to connect with your city, your community, and yourself. But that freedom completely vanishes the second you park it and start stressing about whether it will be there when you get back. Fear of theft shouldn't keep you from riding the machine you want.

I invented the Scoot-Boot so you can park your ride, walk away, and actually enjoy your day.

The Founding 100 Deal: Our mission is to get more riders out on the streets with total confidence. To do that, I'm skipping the retail wait and offering our first Chicago production run straight to real riders. Join the Founding 100 today, and I'll give you 50% off MSRP to help us kickstart the mission."

Layered Security: How It Works


Most locks are passive. The Scoot-Boot is active. Here is how our four-stage system deters, detects, and defeats theft before it happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it defeat an angle grinder?

No lock is 100% grinder-proof. However, the Scoot-Boot’s alarm detects grinder vibrations instantly, blasting a 110dB siren. It strips away the thief's "privacy", creating immediate public danger for them and forcing them to flee.

Do I still need a U-lock or chain?

For quick stops where there is no rack, the Scoot-Boot is a perfect solution. For high-risk or overnight parking, experts recommend "layering." Use a lower-strength U-lock or chain to tether your frame, and let the Scoot-Boot's active alarm aggressively guard the bike as a whole.

How do I carry it while riding?

We have developed two mounting solutions: a sleek vertical mount and an innovative "any-position" bracket to fit any frame geometry. As a Founding 100 member, you will receive exclusive, heavily discounted access to these mounts when your Scoot-Boot ships.

When am I charged & what if I cancel?

Giving card today only holds your spot in the Founding 100. We will not charge until your Scoot-Boot ships from Chicago. Change your mind? You can cancel your reservation at any time before shipment.
