Are there locks for mobile vehicles controlled via the Internet?

Hello, can you tell me if there are ready-made locks, the type by which scooters, bicycles are attached to any object (fence), and at the same time having the following features:

  • Remote opening
  • Get open/close status
  • Getting the state of charge (if they are powered by the built-in power supply)

That is, for sure, a SIM card should be inserted into such a lock to connect to the Internet.

I am researching the topic of scooter sharing, I was given such a topic at the university, and then I looked at electric scooters for sharing, and I didn’t find anywhere that there were electronic locks, and the locks themselves could not be found. Either I’m not looking well, or it’s a rather niche product and they don’t openly post it on sites, and large companies somehow go to them when they develop scooter sharing or, which may well be combined with the previous points, they develop them on their own.

If someone understands a little (or vice versa a pro :) ) in this topic, can you give any links to such locks, or maybe there are really scooters completely ready for sharing. (It is desirable to get exactly a link to the seller's page, possibly with a description of which protocol is used for interaction and the scooter API)

It is clear that there are such locks, and (in some cases) they use a cellular connection (and therefore a SIM card) to communicate with the control center.
But since this is a niche product, and partly implementing security through obscurity , it is unlikely that a private person can buy something like that (try buying a subway turnstile, or a bus validator - the effect will be similar). Companies please

Find a representative of the company for locks and write to the mail saying that I want to open a self-catasharing and ask for information on products. Get the basic one no problem. It will only be necessary to correspond, spend time, decide what you want from them.
We have a lot of mother's individual entrepreneurs who want a business and so that they immediately flood. I think they even have a package of information for such a case

Scooters have a bonus, you do not need to block the wheel mechanically, it is enough to prevent the wheel from spinning by programmatically reading the attempt to move and brake the wheel by closing the windings. It makes no sense to mechanically block the scooter - whoever needs it will pick it up and carry it away.
But the bike needs to mechanically block the wheel, so there are electronic bike locks for them https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Smart-Bike-...
well, of course, ready-made options are sold, you can buy a whole infrastructure, application with a personal design, a wholesale batch of scooters. Ready business consider.
