The real answer is because putting physical buttons or touchscreens on an electric vehicle is a safety risk. (Flaky Bluetooth controllers are also a risk, but a much lower one.)
- wkat4242 3y agoTaking your phone out of your pocket is an even bigger safety risk. And they can always lock the controls while in motion. I think the app is preferred by the manufacturers because it's cheaper and allows them to collect a lot of data (most apps also require an "account" for no reason other than data collection)
- otabdeveloper4 3y agoYou're not supposed to take your phone out the pocket while riding. The app is only for changing certain factory settings or for maintenance. It's a safety risk because buttons and screens can cause water leaks and/or sparks, which you definitely do not want in any electric vehicle. (Scooters/e-bikes/EUCs don't have many moving parts, but you need to take care of the wiring very seriously.)
