    Why would you want to go faster on an e-scooter? If you’re suicidal there are many better methods than this…

    Why would you reprogram an e-scooter in Rust if the objective wasn’t to make it run faster and more efficiently?

    security against remote hacking, privacy to use randomized bluetooth MAC address and maybe even disable bluetooth, safety to turn off more gracefully when something malfunctions. some scooters keep the engine running if the throttle is pressed when the head unit reboots

    I know it cost money, but consider a flipsky or anothe VESA controller.

    It's pre built with all the ways to mod it and bypass the headache. Also it's a buy once and never buy again(until it breaks).

    I reverse engineered the hardware and firmware of my Egret GT E-Scooter. I describe how I got in, analysed communication between components, and reverse engineered firmware. I speak about writing custom firmware for the display unit.

    Great write up, I love to follow someone who explorers the inside of an everyday device like this.

    I wish I was as talented, I have a scooter that became useless because the app went dead. I wish I could hack the firmware to at least put it in working condition...
