Replacing the Old and Adding to the 12 Current Scooters!

Help me give my students better scooters so they can move around better!

My Project

My building is looking to add 6-12 more of these wonderful 16" wide base scooters with awesome wheels that allow students to move around easier on our new floors! Our floors are a pairing of vinyl and gel floors which are great for durability but the older scooters dig into the floor. Which makes it hard for students to roll around for our activities. These inline wheels help so well! The scooters are great for a lower body and cardio workout, and also are great for team building activities and games. We currently have 12 of them but my biggest class is 27 students this year!
