Shopmobility Safety

We want to ensure you are safe while enjoying the sights and facilities in Oxford.

Shopmobility staff will always give you a lesson before you take a scooter out for the first time but here are a few tips to keep you safe and sound while riding around the City:

1. Stopping is simple - just take your hand off the power lever
2. Only use dropped curbs to cross roads
3. Don't try to go up or down curb stones - you risk disconnecting the batteries or tipping yourself out of the scooter
4. Slow right down for corners and shop doorways
5. Give pedestrians plenty of room
6. Use pedestrian crossings when available
7. Always allow plenty of time to cross the roads
