What happens at a Scooter Dash event?
This 1 hour charity team building challenge will get your teams building scooters for children aged 5-15 years old. The perfect activity for a charity team challenge or hospitality evening but get ready to dash! The scooters need to be built and pass a safety check in just 50 minutes!
We start with a briefing from the o3e Team Leader. Then hear directly from the charity about these scooters will make an impact to the people they support. Working in groups of 6, our scooters are split into 3 sections, with vibrant and unique graphics!
All the tools and equipment you need to build your scooter is provided by us.
Why make and donate scooters?
The scooters you build are donated to a local charity the same day that you built them. Your impact to the community is immediate. Sustainability wise, the scooters are designed to be fully recyclable with our suppliers! Even the wheels are made from recycled rubber! Scooters encourage children to scoot to school, providing a more sustainable method of transport.
Now Available as a DIY Option!
We now offer the Scotter Dash activity as a self-facilitated DIY option – same charitable outcome, more flexibility for you.

Scooter Dash FAQs
What's the group size for Scooter Dash?
To maintain a bit of healthy competition, Scooter Dash sees teams of 6 race to build scooters in just one hour! We can cater for large and small groups, from 6 - 1000+.
Where does the Scooter Dash take place?
We'll bring our team and all the equipment for the event directly to you, whether you're at a hired event space or on-site at your offices. We're invested in keeping our carbon footprint low, so we have a network of specialist o3e Event Crew across the country. We've held events in the UK, Europe, the USA and beyond!
How do you choose which charity the scooters we make will be donated to?
If you don't already know which charity you'd like to support, we'll give you options for organisations in need, typically in your local area as we feel supporting your own community is important. Scooters are particularly valued by children's carers charities, sports initiatives and community projects in underserved communities. Although we work with big charities like Action for Children, we tend to try to encourage giving donations to smaller charities who don't always receive the same funding as larger organisations.
How long does the Scooter Dash event last?
Get your skates on! This event is one of our Impact Hour activities, designed to last for one hour. It's the perfect challenge to fit into a day of team building or as a standalone mini-event. For a longer scooter building activity, check out Getting the Balance.
What happens after the Scooter Dash?
After the event, we'll deliver the scooters you've made directly to the charity, normally on the very same day straight after your event. Once the recipients have had the donations for a short while, you'll receive feedback you can share with your team to really demonstrate the difference they've made by participating in the event.
