Scootering with a group can elevate the e-scooter experience to the next level. It makes for a great bonding activity with zero environmental repercussions.

If you are planning to organize your own electric scooter group ride, here is a step-by-step guide to help you out.

  1. Choose a route that matches the skill level of the weakest rider, so nobody falls behind. Choose straight, even courses if there are beginners in the group. If all of you are veterans, keep things exciting by including several curves and hills.
  2. Avoid left-hand turns and intersections. Left turns place the rider on the path of incoming traffic. Meanwhile, intersections can lead to some riders breaking away from the group due to making a wrong turn.
  3. Stop every hour. Give everyone regular opportunities for a quick snack, a restroom break, to do some stretching, etc.
  4. Schedule recharge breaks at specific charging stations. Ask each member about the range of their electric scooter and schedule based on the one with the lost single-charge mileage.
  5. Keep the group size manageable. You are more likely to encounter complicated situations if your group is too large, especially in intersections.
  6. Communicate all essential details to every rider. Provide each participant with a map with markings of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for each key destination.
  7. Repeat all the important reminders the night before and the morning of the group ride. This may include fully charging their electric scooters, taking a restroom break before departure, etc.
  8. Decide on agreed-upon hand signals before departure. Designate rendezvous points where the group will wait for anyone who strays away from the pack.
  9. Assign two qualified people to take up the rear and act as sweeps. They will watch over the group to ensure that nobody is having problems.
  10. Establish a communication system between the lead riders and the sweepers. You can use CB radios, Bluetooth earphones, smart helmets, and the like for no-delay exchanges.

A reliable electric scooter is critical, especially for the organizer of the group ride. The Flash Motors premium hyperscooter. Its 6061 aluminum alloy and carbon fiber construction makes it the toughest e-scooter the market has ever seen.
