On ignition, connect RED to BLACK and nothing else.
Wrap the other(s) with tape un-connected.
Undo the RED/BLACK connection when not using the scoot or battery will drain.

You can also do what I did:
I pulled the ignition cylinder out, removed the 'tumblers', reinstalled the cylinder.
You still need something to turn the 'keyway', like a screwdriver, pocketknife or an old key. Not very secure but better than nothing. I am going to add a kill switch under the seat that needs to be turned on too. None of these prevent the scooter from being picked up and hauled off in a pickup though, that's where the cable lock comes in.
