Could I take an external battery from a lyft Segway es4, and use it on my personal scooter? I’m kind of scared to take it from a lyft scooter because when you plug circuit boards in there they explode. Maybe they have something that prevents people from stealing them? I just don’t wanna mess up my scooter.

If you attach a stolen Lyft battery to your ninebot, your scooter could possible explode!

Wait what? How is that possible? If you use a stolen battery from es2/4 on your personal es2 how is there a risk of explosion?

I mean if you don’t know what you’re doing it is pretty easy to short a battery and the lithium batteries are always ready to go off if the moments right, I don’t think there’s an actual mechanism in place to purposely make it explode.

Oh I see

I mean, if you have the right screwdriver. Just unscrew and attach to your personal

No, because that's called stealing lol
If you didn't buy the scooter, don't just "take" the battery

No need to steal batters plenty fro. Electronic recyclers I got a 4 pack of ninebot batteries made 72v pack runs my full sized scooter just need to figure out throttle going to try on small scooter https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-of-4-Inter ... 6339311008

So, my take away from this conversation is that you let someone else steal them for you and then sell them to you on ebay? Jeeze.
Ive always loved that "side step the issue"attitude. You think you got moral high ground for purchasing the sh*t online...obviously stolen bro...cmon...you aint dumb. If you really think about it, buying batteries online will only promote more theft, as the ebay seller will be inclined to go harvest more batteries and sell them...being that they are 100% profit, its a great way for them to make money. So in the end more sh*t will get took while some prick stands on his soapbox and says "im not a thief!" You aint no better than the dude stealin the sh*t, homie. Its actually probably worse.
My take? If you want to jack the sh*t, go do it. These companies leave their little scooters on the streets, unsecured, with next to no deterrent...its a bad business model. Who does that? Its like me selling jewelry in the hood for no money down just promise to pay me next month. Ya right. I would go under real quick. Love it or hate it, people will steal. Its a simple fact. Imagine a Rite-Aid didnt bother to pay rent on a building, they just leave a box of Advil in a pile on the corner and have you scan it and pay for it with your cell phone. Ha. Out of business in a week. (unless they had a bunch of rich investors).. See, they got a security guard, alarm tags, security camera, locking display racks for expensive sh*t. These companies spend a lot on loss prevention. Because that is the cost of doing business. Plain and simple. These scooter companies give no fucks. Its a joke. I dare to say that if you dont jack that scooter, someone else will. Im just being real.
And if you are like me and are not cool with stealing, good for you. Its a good way to be. Karma will always catch up with you. And stealing isnt right, you wouldnt want someone to steal from you, right? But, look, I dont judge either way. People will do what they do. So CAN you take an external battery from a lyft es4? Well, of course you can. Youll need the right tools though. SHOULD you? Thats up to you, homie. Only you know whats best for you.

And by the way....you know how you can always spot a thief.....they are the one going around saying that they aint no thief and they the first to lecture you on how its SO wrong to steal. And thats some real talk for you motherf***ers. Keep it real homies, and whatever you do, be safe out there. peace

God Bless.

They are a recycling company gets them from bird other wise bird would be all over them. They have to do something with all the old scooters advertising them as birds

[Superbird]

They have a warehouse full of jump scooters they are selling sitting on packing foam they look legit would not buy if I thought they were stolen they would be pretty stupid to use bird name in listing bird would contact them if they didnt know them. Check there other items have frames and everything I'll ask where they get them
