Systems and methods for managing a fleet of personal mobility carts

A theft management system that manages theft of a fleet of mobility carts, the theft management system comprising:

• a first mobility cart comprising:
• a communication module that provides location information;
• a throttle that provides a throttle input;
• a motor that drives at least one drive wheel;
• a mobility cart user interface having a display, a speaker and a light emitting device;
• and
• a controller that controls operation of the motor and the mobility cart user interface;
• a computing device having one or more processors that communicates theft zones to the communication module, the theft zones comprising a home zone associated with a home boundary;
• a first zone associated with a first boundary;
• and a second zone associated with a second boundary;
• and
• wherein the controller operates the first mobility cart according to the following conditions,
• based on a determination that the first mobility cart is in the home zone, command the motor and mobility cart user interface to operate in a default setting with no restriction and report location information to the computing device at a home zone frequency;
• based on a determination that the first mobility cart is in the first zone, command the light emitting device and speaker to operate, and command the display to display a first message indicative of a warning, and report location information to the computing device at a first zone frequency, faster than the home frequency;
• and
• based on a determination that the first mobility cart is in the second zone, command the motor to operate in a reverse mode, and command the display to display a second message indicative of an instruction to relocate the first mobility cart.
