Outdoor Training / activities

Takes place in groups using the area(s) you have previously chosen for scooter training

Outline of Lesson 1

During Lesson 1 training, pupils are introduced to Scoot Safe, check that their scooter is safe to use, discuss what to wear for scooting, and practice some basic scooting skills

The Scooter safety check should be – A simple check on…

• Wheels should be secure / not wobbly and turning freely.

• Bar ends, should have a plug in them, otherwise they may be dangerous if a rider falls on them.

• The steering should turn freely, and the height adjustment lever should be secure.

• Safety items can include a bell and reflective stickers.

Think about…

• If there are problems with a pupils scooter what are your options?

• Are you confident to make minor adjustments?

• If not a local bike shop may be able to help.

• If you have concerns about a scooter’s safety don’t use it in the exercises. (The school may want some scooters to loan if a pupils scooter fails the safety checks)
