This is the best summary I could come up with:
However, when Spin backed out of Seattle, many residents discovered unused scooters scattered throughout the city.
This discovery was recently shared to social media where Pi enthusiasts are simultaneously befuddled and ready to book their tickets to Seattle.
Legally speaking, if the scooters are abandoned then snagging one for the Pi inside is fair game but it’s currently not clear if Spin has plans to recover their remaining assets.
The Seattle government has an official blog available to the public where we were able to confirm that Spin was originally welcomed to the city back in 2021 as a fourth scooter rental option.
At first glance, it seems like an overpowered option for something like an electric scooter but without exact confirmation of its purpose, we can only speculate.
If you want to get a closer look at the insides of one of these Spin scooters, check out some of the pictures shared to social media.
