First, you got ripped off. You bought a stolen Bird scooter, which is cool and fine, but you shouldn't have paid $270 becuase that's regular price for a used scooter that isn't stolen.
Second, to take off, drill or cut off that. Just cut it flush, it's like a mushroom head (it's a rivet). Once you get it flush, you can punch/press the rest of it into the hole, and the rivet will fall through and out. I used a dremel cutting/grinding tool, a hand saw or file could work too. Or a drill but you'll damage the drill bit.

I bought 2 scooter , $270 each, from design to app, charger, battery, texture on scooter, all show M365 and Xiaomi.
however, this scooter can not folding. I plan to replace the folding, I took out 4 hex screws, but the 5th is not hex, I tried many things but I could not find out what is it.
Anyone know how to take this out?
