We really had fun here. Weather wasn't great but we would gladly go again. Might even research buying some scooters to play with at home.

To celebrate my wife’s retirement and birthday earlier this month, we decided to do something unique and truly different so we booked the covered bridges tour with Strasburg Scooters---and I’m so glad we did! We had such a wonderful time touring the Amish countryside on an absolutely beautiful late summer day with an excellent our tour guide Brian and the great people who were in our group. Some used the two wheel scooter but those of us who were less adventurous chose to commandeer a three wheel “scoot coupe” which was a blast to ride in! And I cannot say enough about Brian-----He was very professional, attentive, engaging, knowledgeable, amusing (I did laugh at all of his jokes, even the ones that were Dad-like!) and went the extra mile to make sure everyone was enjoying their time out on the road. He was also very resourceful in dealing with a few snafus experienced along the way and did everything possible to ensure we completed the tour as scheduled. He even took the time to graciously share some very wise marital advice with us before we departed (we’re remembering to say those special words when leaving each other, Brian!). All in all, it was an amazing time that my wife and I will never, ever forget----thanks to Brian and Strasburg Scooters! Try ‘em out-----you DEFINITELY won’t be disappointed!

We will notify you as soon as we can after we have made the determination as to whether it is safe to ride. Keep in mind that weather varies from place to place - it may be raining where you live, and not raining near us.

Yes, we provide training. Riding a scooter is very similar to riding a bicycle. We will provide every operator with training prior to the tour, focusing on balance, throttle, and brakes. You will be required to sign a release after training stating that you have been trained and are confident in your ability to operate the scooter. If we do not feel comfortable with your ability to safely operate a scooter, we will not take you on the tour (unless you’re a passenger with someone else). We offer 3-wheel Scoot Coupes which require no balancing ability to operate. Riders not able to operate a two wheel scooter may upgrade to a Scoot Coupe, for an additional fee, based on availability.
What should I wear? Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day of your tour. Remember that the scooters will be moving at speeds up to 35 mph, which will create a wind chill. Even if it feels somewhat warm outside, you may want to bring a coat (just in case). Each scooter has a small storage space that you could use if you decide not to wear the coat. Can I wear shorts? Shorts are acceptable. Open-toe shoes? Open toe shoes are strongly discouraged.
While tipping is never required, it is always appreciated.
All of our tours are led by experienced guides. We take you places that you probably wouldn’t find on your own. It’s much more enjoyable to follow your guide than trying to read a map or GPS while riding your scooter. Relax and enjoy your trip!
The tours are all on paved roads. 95% are back roads. One thing to keep in mind is that the tour is on public roads, so you may encounter loose stones, debris, potholes, animals, road apples, etc.

This decision will be determined by the road conditions as they pertain to safety of the riders. Strasburg Scooters will make every attempt to give advance notice of any cancellations, however this cannot be guaranteed as weather conditions may vary. ***Riders must arrive 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the tour for safety training. Anyone arriving late will forfeit the tour with no refund.***

The LLDW would alleviate your financial responsibility for up to the first $1,000 of damage to the scooter, as well as any lost revenue during the period that Strasburg Scooters, LLC is unable to use the scooter.
