COUP scooters (popular in Germany and Spain) use Bluetooth for unlocking it before starting the drive. Not sure what is the reason for that vs. unlocking it through internet connection though.
Faster? More resilient? If they went through the cellular network, there would be more latency, and if the scooter is in a place with poor network coverage, it might not work at all.
(I'm assuming that most phones have better reception than the cheap cellular modems inside scooters)
