Not My Scooter: Using the Dashboard With Your Phone's Sensors
Feature guide
What is Not My Scooter?
Not My Scooter is a dashboard mode that uses your phone's own sensors instead of a Bluetooth connection to a vehicle — useful when you want a speedometer-style view without owning a compatible scooter yet.
What you need
- Scooter Tools installed on iOS or Android
- Your phone's motion sensors (no scooter connection required)
How to use it
- 1
Open Scooter Tools
Select Not My Scooter instead of scanning for a Bluetooth device.
- 2
Mount or hold your phone securely
Sensor-based readings depend on how the phone is positioned during movement.
- 3
View the estimated dashboard
Speed and motion data update based on your phone's sensors.
What it's useful for
- A dashboard view without needing a compatible scooter
- Testing the app's interface before buying a scooter
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't connect to or read data from any actual scooter
- Estimated values aren't as precise as a real BLE connection
- It shouldn't be relied on as your default dashboard once you have a compatible scooter
Troubleshooting
Not My Scooter stayed selected after restarting the app
This mode is not meant to persist as your default dashboard after a cold start; if it does, reselect your actual scooter from the scan list.
