Commuting Scooters

A breath of fresh air

Today is the first day of travel chaos on the rail network with an 80% reduction in services across tubes and trains for the whole of the UK (sigh).

And with people taking to their cars, bus and taxi to complete their journeys, sadly, many travel alternatives are overwhelmed. If, like us, you had a difficult commute this morning, you might find this helpful. It is a clever map that converts tube distances to scooting times, helping you to determine how long it would take to make the tube journey by kick scooter.


If you are relying on the bus network or live outside of London we have a dedicated webpage for you to check the scooting times on a bigger scale. With advice to only travel where necessary, you might have to rely on alternative ways to get around generally. After all, rail chaos doesn’t just affect commuters, with many of us relying on public transport for the school run, appointments and journeys from A to B. Thank goodness the sun is set to shine this week.

Beat the queues, avoid the jams and move at your own pace. Our lightweight, foldable adult scooters are engineered to make every journey a breath of fresh air.
