What to Bring When I Pick Up My Rental?
Be Sure To Bring:
- 2 government-issued photo IDs
- A credit card for a temporary hold (a preauthorization): we need to have it as a guarantee for your rental even if you choose to pay cash or debit at the end. The preauthorization amount depends on the type of scooter, length of rental, additional optional items. It varies between $250 to $500 per rental scooter.
- Your reservation number
Type of IDs:
- If you're renting a non-plated scooter with pedals and if you're over 18 years old, you don’t need a driver's license. However, you should still bring two of the following photo IDs: driver’s license / Sunlife card / passport / citizenship card.
- If you're renting a plated scooter, you'll need a valid car driver's license with another government-issued piece of ID. You'll also need to be over 21 years old.
Do I Need a Driver's License to Rent a Scooter?
It depends on the type of scooter.
Non-plated scooters with pedals
No, you don’t need a driver's license if you're over 18 years old. However, you must show valid photo IDs and proof of age (driver’s licence, Sunlife card, passport, etc.) at the store. In the province of Quebec, our pedals e-scooters are legally classified as power-assisted bicycles. This means that they are bound by the same laws that apply to traditional bikes, not motorcycles or cars. If you're under 18, you're welcome to ride as a passenger. You must also be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who will sign a liability waiver.
Plated scooters
Yes, you’ll need a car driver's license. You must show a valid driver's license and proof of age (driver’s licence, Sunlife card, passport, etc.) at the rental location. Plated scooters are considered motor vehicles. This means that they are bound by the same laws that apply to cars or 50cc gas scooters. If you're under 21, you're welcome to ride as a passenger.
Do I Need to Wear a Helmet?
Yes, it is required by law.
How Old Do I Have to Be to Rent a Scooter?
Non-Plated Scooter with Pedals
You must be at least 18 years old at most locations in the U.S. and Canada and provide two valid pieces of photo ID.
Plated Scooters
You must be over 21 years old and bring two valid pieces of photo ID (including a valid car or scooter driver's license).
Do I Need a Credit Card to Rent a Scooter?
Yes. You must provide a credit card for a temporary hold (a preauthorization). The preauthorization amount depends on the type of scooter, length of rental, additional optional items. It varies between $250 to $500 per rental scooter.
A preauthorization is not a charge, but it places a lockdown on some of your funds. The available balance on your credit card is reduced by the amount of the preauthorization. Once you return your rental, the pre-authorization is immediately voided, but it may take up to 15 days to be released by your bank. During this time you will not be able to access those funds, so we recommend contacting your bank/credit card company with any questions.
Do You require a Deposit to Rent a Scooter?
Yes. You must provide a credit card for a temporary hold (a preauthorization). The preauthorization amount depends on the type of scooter, length of rental, additional optional items. It varies between $250 to $500 per rental scooter.
A preauthorization is not a charge, but it places a lockdown on some of your funds. The available balance on your credit card is reduced by the amount of the preauthorization. Once you return your rental, the pre-authorization is immediately voided, but it may take up to 15 days to be released by your bank. During this time you will not be able to access those funds, so we recommend contacting your bank/credit card company with any questions.

You can provide them the transaction ID that appears in the refund receipt as a reference.
Is It Easy to Ride a Scooter?
Very easy.
Most people learn in just a few minutes. However, just like learning to ride a bicycle, we recommend you practice until you're very confident before going out into traffic.
We offer basic operating lessons when you rent a scooter.
Can I Go on Public Roads?
Yes. Our rental scooters are street-legal in cities where we are located.
IMPORTANT:
Non-Plated Scooters with Pedals
You can go on public roads with a posted speed limit of 50km/h. Since these scooters are usually slower than traffic, stick to the right of traffic as you would with a regular bike.
Plated Scooters
Plated scooters with a top speed of 70 km/h can travel on roadways with a posted speed limit of 70 km/h or less. Plated scooters with a top speed of 45 km/h should only travel on public roads with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h or less.
Where Should I Not Ride?
You cannot ride on sidewalks, walkways or pedestrian streets.
In most cities, you cannot ride on bike paths or lanes.
Can I Park a Scooter on the Sidewalk?
It depends on the type of electric scooter.
Non-Plated Scooters with Pedals
Yes. You can park them on the sidewalk. Canada and US cities where we are located legally classifies these as electric bicycles. This means that they can park on the boulevard (the space between the walking part of the sidewalk and the curb), just like a bicycle. However, it is illegal for them to park on the sidewalk walkway itself, that is, the space set aside for people to walk. You can be ticketed if they obstruct the walking path.
Plated Scooters
No. You cannot park them on the sidewalk. As they are considered motor vehicles and are subject to the same rules, it is illegal to park a plated scooter on the sidewalk. Most cities offer dedicated and free parking areas for motorcycles/scooters.
