E-scooters in Australia had some very naughty interactions with riders. It seems as many as eight Lime scooters had their audio files hacked to make sexual remarks. In a video posted to Twitter, a group of scooters can be heard making numerous statements, including “Don’t take me around, because I don’t like to be ridden.”
Another video shows a Lime scooter making a more sexually explicit comment when approached by a potential customer: “Okay, if you’re going to ride my ass then please pull my hair, okay?” says a voice from the scooter’s voice box. Lime responded to the incident in a statement: “We are aware that eight Lime scooters in Brisbane have had their audio files changed by vandals recording over the existing audio file with inappropriate and offensive speech.” This isn’t Lime’s first PR problem—other scooters were taken out of circulation earlier this year after a firmware glitch caused the front wheels to lock up unexpectedly, resulting in several customers being injured after getting launched over the handlebars.
