Adventure Tips

Master the basics on-site

Allow yourself time in the parking lot practice area to get comfortable with scooter controls before heading out on the street.

Wear a helmet

Helmets aren’t just recommended—they’re critical for safety during your scooter tour around busy city streets.

Check the weather forecast

Scooter rides are best in dry conditions; rain or snow can make roads slippery and reduce visibility.

Bring water and sunscreen

Denver’s high elevation and sunshine can be dehydrating and intense, so stay hydrated and protected when riding.
