How do I park a scooter?

Before you park, ask yourself:

• Am I blocking a pedestrian walkway, cycle lane, crosswalk, driveway, or building entrance?

• Am I parking on private property?

• Is this location inaccessible to others who may want to use the scooter?

 All of these are big no-nos. While some people may think it’s funny to park scooters in inaccessible locations or toss them in waterways, riders may face fines, bans, and other forms of prosecution for vandalism and bad parking behaviour. 

 Here are some tips on how to park properly:

• Park either on the street along a pavement, parallel and close to a wall, in a bike rack, or within a designated parking zone;

• Use the kickstand to make sure the scooter remains standing upright;

• Be sure not to block any access ramps, bus stops, crosswalks, or entrances, or in any other way obstruct public areas;

• Pay attention to the red areas on the map. These are no-parking zones in which you won’t be able to park;

• Earn credits for good parking – head over to the app to find out where your nearest great parking spot is (the green areas on the map).
