The two black plastic caps that covered the rear axle bolts on a reader's [[Gotrax]] electric scooter, removed and set on the concrete. Getting them off took security Torx bits the owner did not already own. For someone unwilling to buy a specialty bit set for a single tire change on a roughly $200 scooter, the cheaper path is to throw the scooter away, the outcome this hardware encourages. | The two black plastic caps that covered the rear axle bolts on a reader's [[Gotrax]] electric scooter, removed and set on the concrete.
