What happened to unu? unu GmbH went insolvent in 2024. The cloud was shut down and every scooter's SIM was deactivated. The scooters still ride, but everything connected went away with the company. Read the full story

Everything that stopped working, working again

Sunshine talks to your scooter over a small service called Radio Gaga. Here is what you get back.

Real-time tracking

See your scooter's location, state, speed, and battery levels live on the map.

Remote control

Lock, unlock, open the seatbox, and honk from your browser or phone.

Trips and stats

Rides are logged automatically, with distance, duration, and battery use per trip.

Scooter sharing

Give friends or family access to your scooter, with control over what they can do.

Movement alerts

Get notified the moment your scooter moves while it should be parked.

Open API

A documented HTTP API and OAuth, so you can build your own tools on top of your scooter's data.

Curious what it looks like?

Take a fully interactive demo scooter for a spin. Lock it, honk it, open the seatbox, watch the state change. No account, no setup.

How it works

Two things stand between your scooter and Sunshine. One is hardware, one is software.

1

Replace the SIM

The original soldered SIM is dead. Swap in a working one yourself, or have a service do it. This is the hardware part.

2

Install Radio Gaga

One command over SSH installs the small service that connects your scooter to Sunshine. Takes about five minutes.

3

Ride

Your scooter shows up online within a minute. Tracking, control, and trips start working immediately.

Don't want to solder?

We are working on ways to bring connectivity back without opening up the scooter. Tell us about yours so we can shape the plans around real demand.
