Group Rides
PostMods Scooter Club is very happy to welcome absolute beginners on our group rides, as well as seasoned expert riders with many many years of scooter riding under their belts. We feel that this is a great way to become accustomed to your scooter and learn safe riding techniques from experienced riders. You will also learn about our local roads and various conditions throughout the year.
PostMods has created a rating system for our rides which should help riders determine if a particular group ride is suitable for them.
The officers of PostMods will not police anyone who joins a ride, but the rider should use the descriptions below and join a ride that matches their experience and hardware.
Also note, that a particular ride may have more than one riding level – meaning that we can start a ride at a level 1 and after lunch have a level 2 or 3 return. If this happens, you can either find your way back home without the group or the group may split into two groups, with 2 different levels on a portion of the ride.
The Group ride level will be clearly designated for all rides and discussed before the ride begins.
Level 1
Ride for everyone, good for beginners – no highways or freeways.
Scooters: 50cc and above
