Discussion on social media about the subscription model for the Bajaj Chetak Urbane paying for advanced features, such as charging and geofencing, has sparked talks about users trying to 'jailbreak' their scooters by hacking the paywall. Taken from the world of smartphones and gaming consoles, this concept refers to reprogramming the device’s software to get around manufacturer restrictions. In the case of the Chetak, this could be about hacking the scooter’s on board computer to enable features like reverse mode or hill hold assist without having to pay for the TecPac subscription. Although such modifications could void warranties, and even be illegal, tech savvy owners who want access to all features without ongoing costs might be tempted to play. This leads to questions of consumer rights, ethics of digital rights management in vehicles, as well as those of safety in unauthorized modifications of electric scooters.
