1. A method, comprising, by a controller of a micromobility transit vehicle:
supplying a first set of signals to a plurality of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), wherein each of the plurality of MOSFETs is configured to couple in part to a phase of a motor of the micromobility transit vehicle, and wherein the first set of signals is configured to cause the plurality of MOSFETs to operate in a first state;
receiving an indication of an intent to temporarily immobilize the micromobility transit vehicle; and
in response to receiving the indication, supplying a second set of signals to the plurality of MOSFETs, wherein the second set of signals is configured to cause the plurality of MOSFETs to operate in a second state.
