I hired the scooter from a fellow operating from the footpath near the Bombing Monument in Jalan Legian. He even had proper business stationery listing his place of business as the footpath!
Before accepting the bike I checked that there was:
* no more than 1 inch slack in the chain; and
* plenty of tread on the tyres.
I also put my foot on the rear brake pedal and pushed hard, the bike did not move, and I squeezed the front brake lever and pushed, again the bike did not move.
