Electric Scooters and Motorized Skateboards

Electric scooters and motorized skateboards are banned on campus at SFA due to safety concerns, including the risk of fire. While they offer a convenient and eco-friendly transportation option, the lithium-ion batteries in some scooters can overheat or malfunction, posing a fire hazard. The ban helps protect the safety of everyone on campus and ensures a safer, smoother environment for all. 

However, motorized scooters and motorized skateboards may be allowed on campus if prescribed by a qualified medical provider with appropriate medical documentation. In such cases, students must also receive approval from the Office of Disability Services to use these devices on campus.
