Almost every electric scooter sold in 2026 comes with smartphone connectivity — app-based locking, GPS tracking, remote diagnostics, ride data. These features depend entirely on the company maintaining active servers and pushing regular software updates. This isn’t a theoretical risk — several Indian EV startups that launched between 2021 and 2023 have since wound down or quietly stopped maintaining their apps, leaving owners with scooters where connected features no longer work and firmware bugs never got fixed. Before buying, check how long the brand has been in operation, whether their app has been updated in the last few months and what their service commitment looks like if a model is discontinued.
