They are using their GPS tracker for location, not bluetooth. But the unlock procedure is via Bluetooth. Maybe if you log the traffic when you unlock a Voi you can see what post it does to their API.
According to the fact that VOI uses Bluetooth to unlock the scooter, I was thinking about sniffing the exchanges.
But what can I use to do so ?

If you own a Android go to developer options and turn on bluetooth snooping. the log file should be bt_snoop.conf.
Tho heads up bluetooth might be a hassle to decode but u should try

Yes there is. Under the scooter, behind a black rubber cap, there is a SweTracker Lite. Has a Sim card.

Which country ?
Here in France there is a tracker, but if you have a look on VOI's website, the scooter has no tracker and is foldable, which is wrong here in France !

I have looked at two ES4 from VOI, one had GPS the other did not.

The GPS in this model of VOI is only for tracking theft or to help finding lost VOIs. It's not in any way connected to the control system.

I've also noted some stickers on some stating they're gps-tracked...but not the external battery To view images REGISTER or LOGIN for full access.

How does that work btw, are the batteries unit specific?
