Here's how to use them safely so we can all enjoy campus together:
Always wear a helmet:
- Crashes and falls are extremely common when riding scooters. Wearing a helmet dramatically decreases your risk of severe injury.
- Riders under 18 are legally required to wear a helmet when riding.
- P&T will be doing a helmet giveaway later this year! Stay tuned for a free helmet.
Lock up scooters securely:
- Use a sturdy U-Lock and a cable to ensure your device is secure.
- Avoid leaving your device outside overnight.
- Parking & Transportation offers free access to secure bike cages on campus.
Slow down around pedestrians:
- Fast-moving scooters are an extreme danger to pedestrians.
- It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
- When around pedestrians, scooters should be going at a walking pace or 3-5 mph.
