>Locks:
Insurance company typically requires a class 3 lock in addition to the moped being locked with the steering column lock.
I'd recommend a padlock/chain combo so you can lock onto something solid.
Lost my 1st moped from right outside the house. Properly locked, but not attached to anything, so they probably simply lifted it onto a trailer or into a van... allowing them to work on the locks at their leisure elsewhere.

An alarm with vibration/movement sensor (current moped has one) is also a good idea.

Helförsäkring (full coverage) is likely to cost almost as much per year (depends on where/how you live etc) as the moped linked in the thread costs. I went with full for the first year (on a 11kSEK moped) and then traffic only.

Service and spares: the linked moped looks like a version of the Baotion Chinese ones known under various names. everything but body parts (engine, brakes etc) should be easy to find, if not locally then online, as they're generaaly all the same across models (engine/transmisions come in 2 basic variations depending on wheel size (10"/12")
