Why IoT devices are essential for personal and rental scooters?
For both personal and shared or rental scooters,adding a smart IoT GPS tracker or IoT device is undoubtedly a necessary option.
These IoT devices are not only as a real time GPS tracker but also offer IoT functions such as keyless scooter start,easy vehicle usage,
battery status monitoring,location tracking,and theft detection.These are essential modern features that meet current needs.
As we all know,the purpose of installing an IoT device is to enable the scooter to have a GPS tracking system for anti-theft purposes.
If the scooter is stolen,the GPS information can be tracked,making scooter recovery possible.However,these IoT devices cannot be installed
in obvious locations,as thieves could easily discover and destroy the device,or steal the scooter.
So,where can IoT devices be installed on the scooter to remain hidden?
The best options include the battery compartment,handlebar or handlebar tube,under the footrest,front or rear fork tubes,inside the
light or tail light,and under the scooter's body panels.Since the scooter IoT includes GPS functionality,it is important to ensure that
the installation location does not interfere with the signal reception due to excessive metal or other obstructions.
The following nine hidden locations can ensure both the functionality and security of the IoT device.
Battery Compartment:The battery compartment is typically a concealed and spacious area,suitable for placing small IoT devices.
Be sure that the device does not interfere with the battery or the electrical circuits'normal operation.
Handlebar or Handlebar Tube:The interior of the scooter's handlebar is often empty,making it an ideal location for hiding a small
IoT tracker or IoT device.Ensure that the device does not affect the handlebar's operation or comfort.
Under the Footrest:There is usually space beneath the footrest to hide the IoT device.This area is also difficult to detect,allowing you
to use the IoT device's capabilities without drawing attention.
Front or Rear Fork Tube:The front or rear fork tube typically provides enough space to place small sensors or GPS trackers.Ensure that
the device does not interfere with the wheels'movement or compromise the scooter's safety.
Inside the Light or Tail Light:Some scooters have front or tail lights,and these can be used to hide the IoT device.This is especially
suitable for IoT devices that require power,as they can draw from the light’s power supply.
Under the Body Panels:Some scooters have decorative panels or plastic shells with space inside that can be used to install the device.
Just be cautious not to have any metal in the area,as it may interfere with the signal.
