Yeah, I’ve been eying them with keen interest for the same reason .. I’ve since learned that Lime/Bird are not the OEM’s of these things, that they are in fact a re-brand of the Xiaomi M365 and Segway Ninebot scooters, so .. just for the record, we don’t have to deconstruct a Bird or Lime ..

Yes, that is awful, truly.  And to think I would have voluntarily helped fund his project given the opportunity.  I seriously want an electric means of getting in and out of the city .. so in case anyone else wants to jump on the scooter bandwagon, and come up with a Metalab variant, maybe this is something for consideration in the future ..
