It’s a power trip.
You’ll find scooters in Boise on just about every corner. They’re convenient, environmentally-friendly and fun to ride. Riding a scooter can help fill in the gaps between the bus or vanpool, and parking them is a breeze. Scooters are electric too, so no noise and no fossil fuels. Just make sure you’re not one of those scooter riders. Know the rules before you ride.

On sidewalks and crosswalks
