The Florida Keys are a haven for adventure seekers, and one of the best ways to experience them is on two wheels. If you’re planning to rent a scooter from A&M Scooters, knowing how to ride responsibly can make your trip safer and more enjoyable.
Understand the Local Traffic Laws
Key West treats scooters just like any other motor vehicle. That means following all traffic rules, using turn signals, and yielding to pedestrians. It’s essential to understand right-of-way laws and never ride on sidewalks.
Helmet Use and Gear
Though helmets aren’t legally required for riders over 21 in Florida, we strongly recommend wearing one. Every rental from A&M Scooters includes helmets at no additional cost. Protective eyewear and proper footwear are also smart additions.
Know Your Route
Before heading out, plan your route and check traffic patterns. Some areas of the island can get congested, especially near Duval Street and cruise terminals. Having a plan helps avoid unnecessary stress and keeps your ride smooth.
What’s Included in Your Rental
All scooter rentals at A&M include not only helmets but also locks and a quick how-to on safe operation. Visit our Scooter Rentals page to learn what’s included and what to expect.
Ride With Confidence
Our staff is always available to answer questions and provide guidance on safe riding practices. Whether you’re exploring Key West or taking a scenic ride along the coast, trust A&M Scooters to make your adventure both safe and memorable.
