Hello together

I have received the scooter and am basically satisfied. The scooter cannot be used without initial "pairing via bluetooth" to the app or beeps and is severely limited (speed), so this is mandatory.

For the community's understanding:

1) After I have done this on my iPhone, I am of the opinion that my wife can also use this scooter without the app and mobile. Right? I put my mobile away once and deactivated Bluetooth and it worked.

2) What is the point of pairing with the app? Sure, I can see information, update the firmware and lock the motor, but there was also something on the internet about theft protection, but I don't see that I can lock the scooter if it is "lost", like with Apple Airpods or something. Sure I can lock the motor before I leave so the thing is useless. I assume pairing is not possible with a new mobile / account after the initial setup.

Thanks

Hello, I use the same scooter and am also very satisfied. 1) Exactly, when you need to go fast, just switch it on and go. The mobile doesn't have to be paired. That's how we use it within the family. 2) Basically, I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that pairing allows the speed to be increased from 15 to 20 km/h. This is why we have the scooter with two wheels. That's why we set up the scooter with two different accounts within the family who use it the most (hence to your last sentence: multiple mobiles / accounts would therefore have to go).
I don't know about being able to lock it in case of loss, but that would be a good idea.
Also pay attention to the D or S mode. Simply double-click on the power button to switch to S = speed = max. speed.
