Before you head out, take a moment to review these tips to help keep our trails, streets, and shared spaces safe and enjoyable for all. 

Before you go 

• Helmets are not provided, but highly recommended for all riders.  
• Plan your route before you start. Routes and designated riding areas are available in the app. 
• Stick to approved trails and roadways. Riding is not allowed on downtown sidewalks, City Hall property, or skate parks. 

While you’re riding 

• Ride responsibly and obey all traffic laws for safe operation.  
• Follow posted speed limits. The maximum speed is 20 km/h unless otherwise posted.  
• Ride solo. e-Scooters are designed for one rider only and are not designed to carry passengers.  

Share the trail 

• Stay alert and be aware of others around you.  
• Slow down when needed and pass with care. Use your bell to inform others when you intend to pass.  
• Be courteous, everyone is out to enjoy our parks and trails. 

When you’re done 

• Park your e-scooter in a safe, designated location.  
• Make sure your scooter is clear of vehicles, accessible parking areas, bike paths, and other trail users. 

Have fun, ride responsibly, and enjoy the journey!
