An IoT module for electric scooters is a hardware unit embedded within rental e-scooters to offer connectivity, data gathering, and remote management capabilities.

These modules facilitate fleet oversight, optimize the user experience, and boost operational performance for shared micromobility platforms.

Key features and functionalities of IoT devices for e-scooters include the following:

Real-time GPS tracking is crucial for fleet management, helping operators ensure that e-scooters aren’t stolen.

After users rent an e-scooter, they can also view its location and other relevant details.

Both operator and user apps can be tailored to specific needs. For connectivity, IoT devices are equipped with cellular technology (such as GSM, 3G, 4G, or LTE) to send data to a cloud management platform and receive remote commands.

The remote lock/unlock feature allows users to secure or release the scooter through the rental app.

Data on the scooter’s performance, usage, battery levels, speed, and more is collected remotely, giving operators insights into the scooter’s condition.

User verification ensures that only authorized riders can access the e-scooter, using methods such as RFID, QR codes, or app-based authentication.

Our vehicle-pickup robot comes in two versions:

One with four slots and one with two slots, designed to handle different tasks and street activity levels.

Each slot is equipped with magnetic charging for the scooters, so they don’t need to return to the main control room and can be directly delivered to the next location.

Currently, Bird and Lime rely on a lot of manpower in areas where scooter rentals are high, but our solution takes a different approach.
