Commuting Scooters

Sick of smelling someone else's armpit on the tube/tram every morning?

Tired of fighting over car parking spaces at your office? Downcast about spending another lunchtime at your desk watching the crumbs of your Pret sandwich fall miserably onto your keyboard? Stop! There's no need to feel this way any more. Let using an adult scooter as part of your journey to work be on that list of #microchanges that may change your life for the better - really.

Commuting Scooters

1. The average person will take 20 minutes to walk 1 mile and only 6 minutes to scoot it. Think of the time you could save by scooting to your office from your home or the train station. Scooting instead of elbowing your way onto a packed tube carriage is not only a more pleasant way to get around town but also saves you money on your Oyster card. Look, how easy and quick it is to scoot between tube stations.


2. Scooting is a free workout. Scooting;

- is fat burning
- is core condition
- is endurance building
- helps agility, strength, stability and coordination
- inexpensive
- suitable for all ages and sizes

Our Scootercise programme has a list of exercises you can do with and on your scooter enabling you to get your daily dose of exercise for free.

3. Scooting allows you to take your hour's lunch break. Did you know only 30% of UK employees take their full lunch break? 48% of people say not taking their lunch break affects their productivity. Don't be the 70%. #break4lunch instead using your scooter and explore the world around you, run your errands, get some fresh air and feel great about yourself. We've collaborated with Sustrans on scooter routes for parts of the country which take in amazing things to see and do during your lunch hour.

4. Scooters are portable and lightweight. Which makes them easy and simple to carry and transport. They fold, which means you can store them under your desk at work or on the luggage rack on a train. All this means you won't be the folding bicycle person who is tutted at for taking up too much room on the train. It also means you don't have to wear Lycra. Win win!


So will you be scooting back to work on an adult scooter?
