How to Open the Electric Scooter Seat Without a Key?
2 Answers
Reach your hand under the seat into the scooter's body and feel for a smooth, thin cable about the thickness of an Ethernet cable, similar to a brake cable. Gently pull it firmly with your hand to unlock the seat without needing a key.
I've encountered a similar situation where I lost the key and couldn't open the electric scooter seat. You can try inserting a plastic sheet or credit card into the lock gap and gently pry it open, but be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic clips. Many seat locks are simple mechanical locks, and forcing them open may cause the lock core to break or the shell to be damaged, making it even harder to repair. An alternative method is to check if the APP supports remote unlocking. Nowadays, many shared electric vehicles can open the seat via a mobile phone. If that doesn't work, contact the rental company or manufacturer's customer service—they have specialized tools to safely unlock it. I remember last time a friend lost his key and needed it urgently in the rain. He forced it open, and rainwater seeped into the battery, almost causing a short circuit, costing him 200 bucks to replace it afterward. I recommend seeking professional help first—it saves time and is safer. Usually, use a keychain to prevent loss, and after opening the seat, remember to check the internal wires and avoid tampering with them.
