Very nice. Be safe out there when tweaking these things.

From what I've seen on the streets, people bypassing the restrictions will not, and there will be injuries.

You only notice the ones that aren't safe.

How would you know if someone bypassed the restrictions if they were riding it safely?

Wish I was brainy enough to do this sort of thing!

That's what is nice about LLMs. You CAN do these things now!

Maybe I'm out of touch with the times, but I wouldn't feel safe riding an e-scooter with custom vibe coded firmware.

If it is coded in safe Rust, why not ?
