About Us

Here at Scooters Mart...........we’re on a mission!

We want to make sure that everyone knows how good scootering or kicking is for your health and well-being. The problem is people have too much FUN to really care how good they are for the body.

Our Timeline

Personally I have been Scootering or Kicking now for 23 years and still love it.  Here is a bit of a timeline to give you an idea of some of the crazy things we have done.
