So Jow Forums I've been seeing these new lime scooters popping up in my town and they are hella fun to ride. I they are GPS tracked and unlock via an app.
I've been thinking about talking one into my underground garage where there's no GPS signal and try to convert it for personal use. Can I rip out the Lime stuff and make it my own?
I'm sure that the basics will work, motor, frame, battery, throttle and brakes. I'm a mechanic not a programmer or electrician, do you guys have any idea about the onboard computer, the whole tracking mechanism and the wireless unlocking. Maybe my whole plan is a potential waste of time and energy.
The motor, the tracking, the lock, all requires electricity.

Spot the butthurt scooter shills. OP you should definitely steal or break these faggy scooters. Fuck big scooter industry
Dominic Reed
Dont be stupid.
The GPS is going to log where it was taken, and its going to show that right at the entrance to your garage, it lost signal. Little suspicious no?
Brandon Lopez
it also registers who was the last person that used it vie the app
Thomas Gomez
That's why u just pick it up without paying for it. Do you even nigger?
William Cox
Scooters are for children.
Wyatt Adams
no one managed to debotnet the scooter from the week that it was legal to steal the scooters in SF. You'd probably have to buy a new controller altogether (around $100 for the original xiaomi ones), do some rewiring and even then you'd get a heavily used e-scooter in return. Just buy a used scooter from ebay for $200-300.

>unlock via an app Yeah have fun getting caught on camera using wire cutters to get it out in the first place.
Zachary Howard
I was happy to hear someone recently got killed on one of these things near where I live.
Austin Richardson
Jam the cell signal as you transport it, otherwise they will know where you took it by having the last known GPS location. Also don't unlock it with a phone/account that can be tied to you.
Hudson Hall
You're the reason we can't have nice things. Kys
Daniel Bennett
It's not strapped to anything. You can just pick it up
Joshua Moore
>jam the cell signal Yeah, let's add a felony to the crime he's already committing. He just needs a scooter sized Faraday cage
Wyatt Sullivan
I think he meant that it's in a "locked" state where it doesn't power on or operate.
Xavier Watson
Dont steal, Cletus.
Parker Edwards
Dumb gypsy.
Luis Davis
You can make absolute bank charging them if you have a truck

Ethan Baker
This.
Sebastian Morris
>mb gy That app asks for money, which is linked in some way to your name and everything they need to know to know who to point the finger at when one of their capital unit disappears.
Lucas Young
try contacting their manufacturer and buying one. These companies don't create them in their backyard, they hire other people to do it. If you can find the manufacturer, you'll save yourself a lot of hassle.
Hudson Sullivan
go for the birds. The original bird, xiaomi m365, only has a little box on top but its just like the pre bird factory xiaomi other than that. I think the gps may be in the little box. just tear it off and youre good.
Juan Allen
Lime's newer scooters are made by Segway Ninebot
Blake Johnson
Why would anyone touch these disgusting dirty things
Eli Kelly
They pay for themselves in like 3 weeks, it's ok to steal them.
Camden Cook
Don't be a negro commuter Buy your own goddamned scooter
hey do people use these things with an app to scan it or do they just scan it and it gives them the ap?
Because, i mean
if you put your own QR code on there after hijacking it, repeat 50 times...
Owen Rivera
No this is definitely possible and one of my friends did it. I'm not telling you how, though.
Hint: it's a Huawei scooter
Lincoln Evans
>whites provide nice things to improve society as a whole. >niggers have to steal them, ruining it for everybody.
every fucking time.
Jackson Roberts
If you unlock them with an app they have your personal info. So when shit goes missing they can come after you.
Isaac Ross
Do you happen to live in the Seattle-tacoma area?
Jason Scott
how do these things get charged?? they don't just run forever without charging
Aiden Wilson
LOL at all these butthurt faggots because some nigger wants to steal from some niggercorporation. Take as many as you want Jamal. Someone picks them up and charges them then puts them back.
Julian Brooks
>because some nigger wants to steal from some niggercorporation Hey, poorfag. That could be a local business owner's property. I just invested $6,000 into heavy-duty tools, and have a contract with another local to rent some of them out. I'd be fucking furious if a nigger stole my shit.
Cameron Phillips
The lime scooters are the property of some local business? Are you retarded or is the cum all over your face making it hard for you to comprehend things. I work in SF and I’m tired of seeing this scooters all over the sidewalks. I could care less about some nigger destroying the property of one of these cancerous so called “tech” companies. I think more niggers should steal these scooters.
Adam Miller
didn't South Park just do a episode about these fag scooters and pussy sticks?
Noah Parker
so if you get a bunch of aluminum foil and wrap it around the scooter, you can block the signal before you get it to your garage and you won't get caught like an idiot. just keep the motor and scrap the rest. then build a mount and rig sprocket and buy a control system to put it on a bike or somthing
Chase Martinez
>Someone picks them up and charges them then puts them back. how does one get that job? it is a job right? people don't just do this for free I assume
Austin Ortiz
You sign up on their app to become a charger person. Then you can see the scooters that need charging on the map so you to pick them up bring them to your house. Charge them then you need to put them back on the street before a certain time like 8am in order to get the money for charging them.
Oliver Ortiz
Op is most likely from wroclaw, Poland where those scooters appeared a week ago and are now in the center of attention. Also, why should we give a fuck about some American corporation and their scooters? It's high time they learnt Eastern Europe is like wild west where anything goes. Do you really think the police will waste their already limited resources to chase after some foreign company's stolen scooter? Kek
Aaron Johnson
I see them too, mainly used by boomers who think they're zoomers. The kind of person who would say "whimsical" unironically.
Carson Davis
Not OP but I live in Seattle and e scooters are banned city wide, even though we have these god forsaken bikes (made by the same companies) littering every street corner. Almost as big a visual blight as the burgeoning homeless community.
Logan Scott
Do you really think they give a shit about stolen scooters? In less than a month time it recoups all costs and starts making profit.
Jonathan Green
Can you drive your own scooter?
Brayden Young
>hm, the GPS logs show the scooter ending up right in front of this garage before it lost signal >wonder where it is
Are they banning all 250W 8 inch faggot rides, or only rental ones? AFAIK you can drive any abomination under some power and speed in US, besides shitholes like NY, but people there still ride
James Roberts
Ninebots are quite shitty scooters. I'd recommend to invest $1000 into E-TWOW. I know, I can buy a driving shitbox even with automatic for $1000 and with some wrenching even pass inspection.
Daniel Richardson
I'm at u Waterloo, they're everywhere, do annoying. People don't know how to control them and ram into each other like tards
Lincoln Young
I'm so glad I don't need to deal with inspections. I can just buy a $300 shitter, register it, and go
Ayden Miller
Those scooters are retard proof... How people can't drive them?
Kevin Foster
It's Waterloo
Ryder Jenkins
I can do the same, but give $50 to an inspector, since I live in thirdworld shithole. The problem is that it is thirdworld shithole, you need to have working brakes.
Eli Robinson
You need an inspector to tell you your car's capable of stopping? That should be something you can figure out on your own rather easily.
Matthew Cooper
Not only. Emissions, light aliments, steering... On $300 car lights are harder to align, most of them don't even have catalytic converters, but they should...
Brayden Richardson
>Emissions Fuck it, if it runs it runs >light alignments What? >steering alignment If the car's pulling to the side I'm either not going to buy it or already intend to get it fixed. Again, don't need an inspector for that.
Wyatt Howard
I hear that drilling into the QR code disables the lockout and GPS, but just don't be a fucking nigger and buy one online.
Dominic Robinson
Agree, inspection is a meme. >light alignments >What? Light beam should be correct, so you don't blind anyone. The problem is that a lot of people have HIDs...
>People don't know how to control them and ram into each other like tards I think we have a new sport!
Wyatt Cruz
These are literally ALL rebranded Xiaomi or Ninebot scooters
Just import those from china
Christopher Brown
Imagine being so retarded you stopped reading and just keep replying.
Jaxson Green
Just get E-TWOW, much more based thing that some shitty Ninebot/Xiaomi
Robert Johnson
>risking jail time/record over a shitty e-scooter that you can buy cheap on some chink site
lol op, lol. go for it, it's a good idea!
Hunter Hughes
I remember they had these in paris, checked out the app and there was an accumulation of about 20 in the river hahaha.
Carson Turner
fuck kw4rent
Jace Bailey
They don't even have a fucking working website, are you kidding
Lucas Evans
for the money and copious amounts of time you'd expend modifying, unlocking and debranding one of those things you might as well just buy a fucking used electric/gas scooter from an auction or craigslist
Christian Wood
They're fucking chink scooters that don't even cost that much new.
Jason Hernandez
what do they go for, like $150?
Kayden Hill
Website is nothing. Plus it is working. e-twow.com/ They are just making this shit since 2012 I guess, and they finally made it last 10 000 km and more, while Ninebot trash literally shits itself (otherwise I can't call, since at 200 km fucking screws were just ripped from aluminium threads). Also it has better suspension, more power. Also, early models had simple electronics. I owned one, but I had to sell it, since I moved to other country, and sending shit in plane is impossible.
Parker Kelly
And yeah, some small romanian-chink company makes more quality stuff than big ninebot/xiaomi/segway. I find it extremely hilarious.
Ryder White
About $200 according to other anons ITT
Matthew Moore
250$ + shipping. But I guess you can get knock offs cheaper
Kevin Roberts
it's not theft if you're picking up litter.
Gavin Young
...
Luke Sanders
They don't care. Those shits last no longer than 3-4 weeks anyway. The cost is low. Investors pulled in millions. Nobody will even notice its missing trust me.
Jason Anderson
Triggered, snowflake?
William Mitchell
It's still tracks and will ring out an alarm when it noticed it's being moved without being unlocked.
Lucas Martin
I'm over those scooters... Also, don't ride them drunk lol
Wait, this is a real thing? I thought matt and trey made this shit up for South park, lmao
Levi Cooper
throw it in the back seat of a van drive on freeway at 65mph disconnect and remove control unit (box) throw out window buy 20 dollar speed controller from aliexpress hook speed controller to motor and battery and throttle
Jaxson Evans
nigger
Ryan Perry
lol I saw someone on Craigslist selling mainboards for them for something like $100. I'm sure you could just order one yourself for next to nothing.
Jacob Martin
Just started showing up in the hood They are being appropriated and its hilarious, my city couldn't even have a bike share because they all got appropriated in 2 months.
