Scooter Recharge Scheme

Recharge stickers are displayed on the windows of the participating businesses so you can easily find them.  There are also recharge stickers placed above or near power points so you can quickly locate which power point has been designated for you to use.

Recharge points are provided as a community service and the operation of the recharge facility and security of mobility aids remains the user's responsibility.
