Strasburg Scooters is a guided scooter and vintage-bus tour operator based in Strasburg, Pennsylvania offering scenic and seasonal experiences across Lancaster County. The business runs two-person Scoot Coupes for backroad excursions and operates an antique Ford model AA school bus called 'Barney' for larger group tours.
Tours include the Sunset Covered Bridge Tour, Scootin' with Santa, The Spooky Scoot, the Ultimate Amish Adventure, the Thanksgiving Day Tour, and community fundraising rides for the Strasburg Borough Police Department and Strasburg Fire Company No. 1. Several scooter tours are listed as approximately two hours in duration and highlight historic covered bridges, rural backroads, and local culture. Multiple experiences specify that no motorcycle license is required, making rides accessible to a broad range of participants.

'Barney' tours include Bridges with Barney, Backroads with 'Barney', and The Spooky School Bus, with guided narration and cultural context; one Backroads tour is led by an Amish school teacher. Reservations are recommended for specific dates and seasonal events.
