Scooter Alarm

The built-in alarm detects motion and tampering while the scooter is parked. Everyday use – arming, the dashboard menu, and what happens when it triggers – is covered in the Handbook's Riding page; this page documents the full behavior and configuration.

How it works

When Enable on Lock is active, the alarm arms after the scooter enters standby. Unlocking the scooter disarms it.

An armed alarm can be triggered by:

  • Motion — enabled by default
  • Buttons — presses of the left brake, right brake, horn, or seatbox button; enabled by default as one group
  • Seatbox — opening the seatbox without an authorized unlock
  • Handlebar — the handlebar lock changing to unlocked, or the handlebar position changing to off-place; optional and disabled by default

To avoid false positives while parking, handlebar triggers are ignored for 90 seconds after arming. An off-position reading must then persist for one second before it triggers the alarm.

For diagnosis, the alarm records the source and timestamp of the last trigger.

Dashboard settings

Open Settings → Vehicle → Alarm. The dashboard provides:

  • Enable on Lock — arm the alarm when the scooter enters standby
  • Honk on Trigger — use the horn when the alarm triggers
  • Duration — choose 10, 20, or 30 seconds

The individual trigger-source switches are advanced settings and do not appear as dashboard rows.

Advanced: CLI configuration

Use the current lsc commands to inspect or change the alarm:

lsc alarm status       # Show alarm state and settings
lsc alarm arm          # Enable the alarm; it arms in standby
lsc alarm disarm       # Disable and disarm the alarm

lsc settings set alarm.enabled true
lsc settings set alarm.honk true
lsc settings set alarm.duration 20

Advanced trigger-source switches accept true or false:

lsc settings set alarm.trigger.motion true
lsc settings set alarm.trigger.motion false
lsc settings set alarm.trigger.buttons true
lsc settings set alarm.trigger.buttons false
lsc settings set alarm.seatbox-trigger true
lsc settings set alarm.seatbox-trigger false
lsc settings set alarm.trigger.handlebar true
lsc settings set alarm.trigger.handlebar false
