Great Development News – Scootopia will be teaming up with ‘Youth Riders’

Big News: Scootopia x Youth Riders Mentor Programme Launch

Youth Riders Charity is excited to share a major step forward for our community. Following a recent meeting with Scootopia’s team, we’re officially moving ahead with a brand-new mentor programme designed to support and elevate our more experienced riders.

This collaboration is all about progression—giving young riders a clear pathway from learning the basics to stepping into the world of professional scootering.

What’s Changing?

Once riders complete each of our core development levels—Beginner, Junior, and Novice—they’ll unlock access to something special. Graduates will be invited into a structured mentor programme led by Scootopia’s professional riding team.

This means real coaching, real opportunities, and real pathways into the sport at a higher level.

What the Programme Includes

The discussions, led by Lewis from Scootopia, outlined an “Academy-style” approach that everyone agreed would be a huge boost for our riders. Here’s what participants can expect:

Professional Mentorship
Riders will be coached and supported directly by Scootopia’s pro team, helping them refine their skills, learn advanced tricks, and build confidence.

Becoming a Scootopia Rider
Selected riders will have the chance to represent Scootopia, which comes with some exciting perks:

• Competition entry fees covered
• Contributions toward travel expenses
• Prize money matched if they place on the podium
• A personal 10% discount code to share for Scootopia gear

Regular Meets from Pro Riders
Lewis and members of the pro team are keen to attend Youth Riders sessions regularly—offering hands-on support, encouragement, and inspiration for all participants.

Exclusive Opportunities
The partnership opens doors beyond riding progression, including:

• Co-branded merchandise (think clothing, grip tape, and more)
• Discounts on Scootopia products
• Sponsored prizes at Youth Riders events

Why This Matters

This programme isn’t just about perks—it’s about creating a clear progression route for young riders who are committed to improving. It channels the energy of our older participants into something structured and aspirational, while also raising the profile of Youth Riders through wider exposure and social media reach.

Most importantly, it gives our riders something to aim for: a chance to turn passion into opportunity.

Looking Ahead

Everyone involved in the meeting agreed this collaboration is a fantastic fit and a natural next step for Youth Riders. We’re incredibly grateful to Lewis and the Scootopia team for their time, enthusiasm, and commitment to supporting young talent.

More details on how to join the mentor programme will be announced soon—so keep an eye on our channels.

The future of Youth Riders just got even more exciting. 🛴
