About Sunshine

What happened to unu?

unu GmbH went insolvent in 2024. Their cloud was shut down, and the SIM cards in every scooter were deactivated. Thousands of unu Scooter Pros lost remote access, trip tracking, and firmware updates overnight.

The scooters still ride. They charge, they lock, they go. But everything that made them "connected" went away with the company.

What is Sunshine?

Sunshine is the replacement cloud for the unu Scooter Pro. Real-time tracking, trip statistics, remote lock/unlock, scooter sharing, movement alerts — all the stuff that stopped working when unu pulled the plug.

Free to use, built and run by Starsong GmbH with help from the community.

Supported models

unu Scooter Pro (2020 and later, with MDB/DBC boards). Older unu models are not supported.

What is Radio Gaga?

Radio Gaga is a small service that runs on the scooter's stock firmware. It talks to Sunshine over MQTT — sends telemetry, receives commands. The original firmware stays untouched.

You install it once over SSH after swapping in a new SIM card.

What is LibreScoot?

LibreScoot is a separate project that replaces the stock firmware entirely. Offline navigation, motion alarm, keycard management, a proper dashboard, and a lot more.

If you just want the cloud features back, Radio Gaga on stock firmware is the quicker path. If you want full control over everything the scooter does, look at LibreScoot.

What do I need?

1. A replacement SIM card. The original MFF2 SIM is dead. You need to swap it (yourself or through a service).
2. A Sunshine account. Invite-only for now. Codes are free on Discord.
3. Radio Gaga installed. One command over SSH, once the scooter has internet.
