In Celebration of Earth Day

E-scooter safety event in Red Deer Saturday

Apr 22, 2022 | 3:51 PM

An e-scooter safety event is planned to be held in Red Deer on Saturday, April 23.

While the event was originally supposed to be held on April 22 in celebration of Earth Day, it was postponed due to weather conditions.

As a result, on April 23 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the corner of Gaetz Ave. and Ross St., riders can learn the fundamentals of safe road use for non-car users, micromobility vehicle basics, tutorials of local rules of the road, and parking best practices.

Hosted in partnership with local organizations, businesses and health and safety experts, new riders will also receive a free helmet and obtain a promotional code for 50 per cent off their first 30 minutes on an e-scooter to be used the same day.

The safety events are also being held on Saturday in three other cities across Canada: Calgary, Okotoks, and Windsor.
