I invested over $40,000 into launching a dockless scooter business, including the purchase of commercial-grade scooters like those used in downtown mobility programs. This investment covered not only the scooters themselves but also the necessary software systems and the development of a custom mobile app.

I secured a license from the city to operate the scooters downtown and complied with their request to share a portion of the revenue. However, after some time, the city unexpectedly removed the scooters from the streets. Since then, I have lost contact with the original equipment providers and software developers. The backend systems are no longer accessible, and without the software, I am unable to power on or operate the scooters.

These scooters have been sitting idle for years, and I am now exploring options to reprogram or retrofit them with new software to regain control and put them to use. I am determined not to let this significant investment go to waste and am seeking a viable solution to restore functionality.
