Hi! So you want to take the scooter apart and replace the 7 segment display with an LCD?

It's definitely possible! It depends a bit what the 7 segment display is wired up like - is the picture of the 7 segment display you posted the actual one that's used?

Unless there is a board that's job is just to power the display, it's likely you'll end up having to wire a ton of wires up.

Also I notice you said 'Arduino' - this forum is for Espruino - microcontrollers that run JavaScript - so if you want help with Arduino you'd be better off asking on the Arduino forums.

Its only a Idea of Using some Kind of Arduino Like Devices.
The Segment Display Picture is that Dashboard that are using a Lot of Ninebot Scooters.
So there would be a possibility to Create some of Device and Use it in Many Devices.
The First is one with Second PCB for Blinking Lights. Second is the Standard PCB without Blinking Light Function.

Well it definitely seems possible - but depending how technically inclined you are, decoding the signals that are sent to the display could be difficult if it's not well documented already.

I just quickly googled, and another option for this is there are bluetooth add-in boards. So you could use one of those and then have another proper LCD display connected wirelessly (either a Bangle.js smartwatch or something else)
