    While we’re here … how do you go about removing the batteries from these things? (For academic purposes only, of course.)

      You can remove them with the following:

      1 part gasoline

      1 part motor oil, ATF, diesel or whatever you have

      A wine bottle

      A rag soaked in gasoline

      A lighter.

      It won’t remove them in the original condition they were in while still inside the scooter but it will remove them.

        Now that’s just wasteful.

        You must not waste the batteries in scooters, the gold in flock cameras or the ram in data centers. I believe Jesus said this. Now pray with me

        Yeah…

        Again, only for academic purposes, I’d like to remove them in good condition so the battery cells inside could function in home-made ebike batteries. 2 or 3 scooters worth of batteries should be able to make a very nice ebike battery pack.

        And wear dark tinted goggles and cover your lower face. Wear gloves.

        For safety. Of course.
