Lime scooters have caught fire, broken apart in use, and been recalled after a technical bug caused “sudden excessive braking during use.” This week, a small number of scooters in Brisbane, Australia were hacked, causing the devices to say profane things to potential riders.

A Lime-S scooter in Paris. A small number of scooters in Brisbane, Australia were hacked, causing the devices to say profane things to potential riders. By Peter Holley Peter Holley Technology reporter Email Bio Follow April 24 at 4:07 PM The video is straight out of a goofy, low budget horror movie: A row of bright-green Lime scooters, parked neatly on a sidewalk, have come to life, unleashing a filthy flush of human speech.

"Don’t take me around, because I don’t like to be ridden,” one of the least offensive scooters is saying in a video published online.It’s not a modern twist on Christine, the Stephen King novel — and subsequent 1983 horror flick — about a car possessed by a demonic spirit out for revenge.

“We are aware that a few Lime scooters in Brisbane have had their audio files changed by vandals recording over the existing audio file with inappropriate and offensive speech," the company said in a statement."It’s not smart, it’s not funny and is akin to changing a ringtone."
