Looks like:- Cellular or GPS module - to track the scooter if its lost or for locating one to rent- Camera module - scan QR code- DC/DC board - convert the main battery voltage of ~48V to 5V- Left and right speakers?The newest model has probably gotten rid of the raspi:https://www.spin.app/rides/spin-6
Hmm, why would they have a code scanner on the scooter, when every phone in the last decade has a camera? Around here, the codes are just printed on the scooter, and you scan the code with the phone. There's no way to rent them without the phone, I guess, but I'm not sure how having the camera on the scooter helps... can you buy tickets somewhere?
I suppose they used the RPi 4 to get a product out quickly. It's just amusing to me as an embedded systems guy. Probably had people known about this last year then a lot of these scooters would have been raided for parts.
