It's not my scoot y'all, it's one I put together for my friend, and yeah I'm going to cut the bolts, don't worry about that haha. But I'll use my Dremel, about a million times faster and easier. I don't know about locking the bars, they're not too wiggly, but maybe I'll try the tape thing first.
Edit: I just realized that scooter is made from at least 6 other scooters haha.
