We’re excited to welcome Scooty back to the streets of Downtown Markham—just in time for sunny days, spontaneous adventures, and more active commutes.
What is Scooty?
Scooty is a convenient and environmentally friendly electric scooter-sharing service that lets you rent and ride e-scooters directly from your smartphone. Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or simply exploring what Downtown Markham has to offer, Scooty provides a fun, affordable, and zero-emission way to move.
Time to Update Your App
To ride this season, you must update to the latest version of the Scooty app. The previous app is no longer supported and will not display available scooters.
You can update your app in one of three simple ways:
• Scan the QR code located on any Scooty vehicle to be prompted automatically.
• Visit the App Store or Google Play and search for “Scooty – Let’s Go!”, then tap Update.
• Or follow the in-app prompts if you already have it installed.
Ride Smart. Ride Safe. Ride Scooty.
Scooty riders are encouraged to follow local and provincial traffic regulations, use designated bike lanes and paths, and always wear a helmet. Let’s keep Downtown Markham safe, enjoyable, and scooter-friendly for everyone.
