Lime Trains Nearly 100 Brookline Area Scooter Riders

BROOKLINE, MA (09/20/2019) (readMedia)-- This Saturday, Lime– the global leader in micromobility– will be hosting another "First Ride Academy", a series of free weekend training courses designed to ensure that Brookline riders know the basics of safe scooter riding and responsible parking. This will be Lime's fifth First Ride Academy, during the past four sessions Lime's team has trained nearly 100 Brookline Scooter Riders and interest is only growing. Every attendee is offered a free helmet to keep.

Details:

The 60-minute course is divided into three parts, each focused on a different aspect of electric scooter use:

1. Theoretical training focuses on how to use the Lime app and our core values

2. Practical training teaches participants how to inspect electric scooters before riding (brakes, accelerator, etc.) and how to ride, along with safety exercises

3. Urban initiation takes participants along a predetermined course for a guided ride in a public setting

Riders must be 18 years or older to participate. We encourage riders to bring their own helmet if they wish! For the best experience, participants should download our free app and create a profile prior to arriving at the event.
