Topic: Bike and Scooter

The University partners with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul to offer bike and scooter share vendors on campus to increase mobility.

If you see bikes or scooters blocking entrances or paths, please let us know the location and a date/time so we can work with the companies to avoid and prevent future occurrences.

No—charging these devices is not permitted within campus buildings.

Unfortunately, the safe charging of these micro-mobility devices will continue to be the owner's responsibility. We do not currently have facilities that will accommodate large-scale charging of these devices and, therefore, we do not encourage their use when private charging is not possible. 

Observe the following safety measures when charging: 

• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for charging, storing, and handling your device's battery.
• Only use the original equipment manufacturer's charger to charge your device's battery.
• Charge your device's battery while plugged directly into a wall outlet. Never use charging strips or extension cords.
• Do not modify or attempt to alter or repair your device's battery.
• Never charge your device unattended or overnight. Never leave it plugged in when it is not charging.
• Avoid charging or storing your device's battery in extreme temperatures.
• Handle your device's battery with care–do not drop or submerge it in water.
