Lime scooters have a software bug that causes them to hurl their riders to the ground

“[I]n very rare cases—usually riding downhill at top speed while hitting a pothole or other obstacle—excessive brake force on the front wheel can occur, resulting in a scooter stopping unexpectedly.”

This happened to a friend of mine. Twice. In a flat-as-a-pancake area.

Luckily neither he nor his son were injured.
