    Does anyone have policy language around bicycles and scooters in buildings? ?We have always refused bicycles based on fire prevention and egress obstruction in our buildings but we are seeing an increase of electric, stand up styles scooters being brought inside due to the risk of theft and I am concerned that we could have several parked inside classrooms. ?Aside from the lithium battery risk, wondering if anyone has established rules around these battery powered scooters.

    ?

    Thank you,

    Darren, here is a link to our policy. “The interior storage of bicycles and personal electric vehicles is prohibited?without university approval.” This includes electric scooters.

    Hi Darren

    At Mohawk we don’t have a policy on bikes being in the building.? It is something that I am hoping we create, but I really don’t want to be the owner of it…? ? We do have a secure bike cage that is attached to a building.? Du
