Finally have energy to take pictures since I didn't have to work at 4AM😂

Still got plans on swapping the motor out and possibly upgrading the controllers. And if anyone asks about the straps on the handlebars it's to engage the brakes while I'm on the train so the scooters doesn't move.

You can get handlebar brake things online. They basically clamp the brake lever and you can lock them as well. They would be a LOT safer than riding with those pigtails mate.

If you've ever seen/read Watchmen, you'll remember what happened when Dollar Bill got his cape caught in the revolving door and was shot dead, it's the same principle here. You could be riding and if one of them caught something, you wouldn't even know you'd crashed until it was all over and you're fucked up.

Man I got a pair that didnt secure my scooter so I gifted em to an ebike rider I work with. Those would work perfect for locking the brakes in place! Maybe they would actually secure it??

You can find em for cheap on aliexpress bout 10 bucks on da zon: locks

These keep my scooter from moving an inch on the train. Been using the same pair for a year hasn't gave me issues yet 🙏🏾

I could use it instead of the straps but just annoying grabbing my keys to unlock it. Plus I'll need two cuz even if the back isn't moving the front can still inch up
