Testimonials

“ I cycle daily but had never tried an e-scooter so I wanted to learn about the road rules for scooters and get comfortable with riding a scooter on the road. The course covered off both of these learning goals. The scooter can now be an alternate/backup form of transportation for me. Great course, well taught, well structured and offered options to participants based on their skills and comfort levels. Thank you!”

“I honestly did not think I would get from fear of getting on a scooter to actually riding on the road. But the team patiently worked on getting my confidence up and woohoo I’m on and confident! ”
