Lime's wireless electric skates, which have flooded the world and can be found in Athens and Thessaloniki, seem to have fallen victim to a humorist in Brisbane, Australia. The hacker managed to modify them to play inappropriate voice recordings, a hack that the company was not amused at all.

The heard from the e-scooters, recorded through their mobile phones by the users who went to use them and uploaded to social media networks. In these you will hear the skates saying “Don't take me. I don't like running” (via a video on twitter from 7News Brisbane), or "If you are going to drive my ass, then please pull my hair, OK?", (via a video posted on YouTube).

Skates spawn normally s when they work, for example when are unlocked. Last year, the Guardian said that a Lime skate in Oakland was programmed to shout: "Unlock me to ride me or I'll call ”, if someone was just teasing it.

According to the company, the hacker breached their physical port sound, locally on each skate, and did not get on their system. Eight skates in total were affected and have now been withdrawn from use.
