Hello! I'm new to this forum but I've done some research on how to convert lime scooters to personal scooters. I've noticed that Lime scooters are harder to convert than bird scooters. Unfortunately, I have a lime scooter. I've seen people buy motor controllers and connect the wires and they were able to get their scooters running. However, the tutorials I see on this forum are very vague, and they say things like "connect the motor controller wires". I would greatly appreciate if anyone could give a detailed tutorial on how to convert a lime scooter to a personal scooter.

I guess you could check out lime sj2.5 and the segway ninebot forum.
Battery is in the tube. Gps tracking device, bluetooth, sim card, all commands controls are going through the green box that needs to be disconnected. https://www.scootertalk.org/forum/viewt ... =56&t=5844
You might find at least one other detection device you need to take out usually on the right side under the handle bar beside the speed control. It's a piece of silver foil into a black plastic bar you need to unscrew from the handle bar.

Then, easy way is to change the controller and lcd for new ones you can reprogram yourself. Genuine parts are more expensive then copycats but maybe less a hassle to deal with.
Every steps and options you find on the forum.

I don’t think the Segway ninebot forum will be super helpful to convert a lime SJ 2.5 seeing as they are not the same scooter
