I got a temporary hi squeal 80Db 1" Piezo that works for $5 and installed it outside the scooter, rather than partially obstructed insides..

There are tons of alarms out there, even Talking Alarms with Proximity sensors and the works like a good remote pager, all going for anywhere from $36 to a (like the LM 508 and clones.....) or a simpler Scorpio/G-Force $700....

The most useless thing I think is a remote starter systems, and the flashing lights can bleed the battery pretty good.......as if the proximity isn't.....

Then there's the who want's to cut into harnesses to get a desired effect that might cripple your ECU/ECM......it's a bit scary unless you take a deep breath and study the combination your getting into.....
