Download the App

The first step in riding is downloading the Storm Scooters app. It only takes a few seconds using the link below. You’ll be asked to create an account and add a payment method.

Find a Storm Scooter

To locate an available scooter nearby, simply open the app. You’ll be taken directly to our service map, which displays nearby scooters, riding zones, and more.

Unlock Your Vehicle

To unlock a Storm Scooter, tap the unlock button on the service map. This will open your phone’s camera so you can scan the QR code located at the top of the scooter. You can also enter the alpha-numeric code displayed just below the QR code.

Get Riding

You’ll need a little momentum to start — kick forward with your foot, then use the thumb accelerator to control your speed. Do not press the accelerator all the way down at first; ease into it and adjust to a comfortable speed. Use the handbrake to slow down or come to a complete stop.

Where to Park a Storm Scooter

When you’re ready to end your ride, open the app to find approved parking areas around town. Always park your scooter out of the way — never in the middle of the sidewalk, as this can block pedestrians and those with disabilities. Do not block doorways, stairways, ADA access ramps, or bus stops.

End Your Ride

Once your scooter is parked correctly, tap the “End Ride” button in the app. That’s it — you’re good to go!

Road Rules for Riding

Motorized scooter riders must obey all local traffic laws. Riding is permitted only on approved streets and in designated bicycle lanes. Always check local regulations for your area before you ride.

In Provincetown, Commercial Street is a one-way street. Motorized scooters and bicycles are not allowed to ride against the flow of traffic on Commercial Street or any other one-way street.

Ride Safely

For your safety — and as required by the Town of Provincetown — riders must wear a helmet at all times while operating a motorized scooter. Riders are responsible for following all local traffic laws and must ride safely and respectfully, staying alert to pedestrians and other vehicles.

Helmets are available at Storm Scooters, 322 Commercial Street, or may be found hanging on scooters at various locations.

Important

Riders assume all risk and responsibility when operating a Storm Scooter. Failure to follow local laws and safety guidelines may result in injury, fines, or suspension of riding privileges.
