James Rodger is the founder and owner of Scoot Fit and a professional scooting coach.

Scoot Fit has been delivering innovative, fun, scooter training days from Reception to Year 6 in schools for over five years, providing 70 scooters on each visit.

Scoot Fit’s innovative approach has identified a large percentage of children in school struggle with balance and control of a three and two wheel scooter, leaving them and unable to scoot to school. School active travel rates immediately increase after identifying them, so they can then scoot to school safely.

Scoot Fit also delivers one day training courses involving theory and practical aspects of scooting for road safety teams and councils, to help them delivery educational sessions which are fun and informative.
