Stolen electric scooter found repainted black in Lake Lucerne mystery

An electric scooter, previously reported stolen, has been recovered from Lake Lucerne in Flüelen. The scooter, now painted in black, was found with its electrical systems still functional. The scooter was initially reported stolen on October 14, 2025. It resurfaced on Tuesday, November 4, after being retrieved from the lake. Notably, the scooter's color had been changed from red to black during its time missing. Uri cantonal police are baffled by this transformation, as no information is available about who might have painted it. Authorities are now appealing to the public for help. They are seeking witnesses who may have seen the scooter between October 14 and November 4, 2025, in Flüelen. Any information could prove vital in their investigation. The recovered scooter, despite its color change, is operational. Police are eager to identify those involved in its theft and repainting. Witnesses are urged to come forward to aid the ongoing investigation.
