Description
Notice for our customers.
To our knowledge comes news about software fixes being deployed to scooters fleet by their companies across some US and some EU cities – when your scooter is connected to IOT device there is probability that it will update itself and start messing up with unlocking signal cycle sending by our modules. For now affected scooters will get symptoms of shutting down after 20s of work – so to be clear this tool doesn’t work on heartbeat patched version yet, we’ve opened USB port for updates in the future – we are constantly working on firmware.
Please be aware of this and stay “offline” to not pull updates from vendor IOT service.
This tool was created to be a small speed booster (speed unlocker).
Dear customers, this tool is in ALPHA VERSION for the moment, we are developing compatibility for more electric scooters ESC all the time. Please consider your support with new models.
Small discount up to 2020-08-30 due to EARLY VERSION stage.
On beta version there is no guarantee that this tool will be compatible with your ESC however it’s open ported to further update it.
Thanks for your awesome feedback. Stay tuned scooter-rebels!
What this tool is about
This is a hardware component – basically ready to use kit that can unlock full speed potential on an electric kick-scooter which you own. It does work with stock scooter components.
Product is suitable for unlocking speed on “Tier” (and maybe others like “Voi”, “Jump” , for now it’s unknown). This is maintenance-free version.
Requirements:
- official scooter IOT devices/unlocking module that can already generate heartbeat. For ex. application “MyTier” for Tier company scooters – SPEED BOOSTER will work along side
New “booster” is ready to use, plug and play – it will fit completely inside the steering tube due to small form factor.
Device is designed to be use with bought scooters which have capability to send “heartbeat” sequence (if you don’t have heartbeat enabled scooter you can use regular unlocker like “PARROT“).
This app is dedicated for users with 2 minute shutdown problem who has official IOT heartbeat code generator – this BOOSTER tool is working side by side with it.
So you preserve official app capability (turn on/off) and get speed unlocked and scooter stays on (no issue with 2 minutes shutdown).
For ex. Tier users with access/bluetooth pin code to official app – which already can turn on their scooters – can benefit from this tool by unlocking full speed without 2 min. shutdown issue.
Compatibility:
- ES-200G (Tier/MyTier)
- contact us if you think your scooter is compatible
End user has to solder only few connection wires – detailed instruction comes with this kit.
Please read FAQ tab prior placing your order, maybe you will find some interesting things there.
Warning statement
We strongly discourage anyone from using this tool on any scooter beside your own. We are not responsible for using this device i way other than for diagnosis purpouse. Please read the “terms of service” before buying this product. The product is sold as it is, without any guarantee of compatibility with your specific copy of vehicle due to possible manufacturer hardware changes.
Usage (maintenance-free)
How to use, what this tool can do
To activate speed unlocker, scooter has to be turned on through it’s manufacturer provided application.
This tool is maintenance-free so there is no extra user interface/input.
After turning on scooter, our module will detect scooter state and after few seconds will initiate speed boosting sequence. Please always ride with your helmet on!
We actively work on further firmware upgrades – see changelog.

GENERAL
Simple steps to update your tool to latest version
Since version 5 of PARROT and KINGFISHER there is a way to update your tool through USB port.
Firmware will be available to download only when order get status “Completed” (package was shipped/dispatched)
This tutorial may vary depending of your OS (MacOS or Windows). Take a look:
- Download & install Arduino IDE – https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software
- Download most recent .hex file (firmware) – click here parrot-v8a.ino.d1_mini.bin
- Download & install ESP tool to flash your device: https://github.com/Rodmg/esptool-gui (Mac) or https://github.com/espressif/esptool/releases (Mac, Win, Linux)
Type command in your console (cmd.exe on windows or Terminal on MacOS) followed by software manufacture instruction.
PARROT is mostly based on ESP8266 chipset. Baud rate 9600.
You can find various GUI (Graphical User Interface) software to flash your module, make use of it when you are not experienced user.
Disclaimer – firmware upload (reflashing/flash/reflash) your tool will void your warranty, there is no coming back from your flashed device to previous version. If your module works fine – consider leaving it as is.
There is a list with error codes number and related issue (do not take it for granted).
01E – High current protection
02E – Low battery OR Low voltage protect (ex. battery or controller problem?)
03E – High voltage protection (controller problem?)
04E – Locked motor protection
05E – Controller problem (MOS burned?)
06E – Controller problem (tbd)
07E – Motor problem (tbd)
08E – Motor over temperature limit (intense riding? sensor?).
09E – Throttle problem (thumb throttle issue? throttle wire shortage?)
10E – Brake problem (broken brake lever? brake wires?)
11E – Signal transmission problem (controller problem?)
12E – Signal transmission problem (controller problem?)
Wiring scheme
Wire voltage across harness in our tool
Please measure outgoing voltage in wires from your scooter and do not exceed this rates.
