A scooter garage in architecture refers to a designated space within a building or residential complex specifically designed for the storage and sometimes charging of scooters—both electric and manual.
With the rise of urban mobility solutions, including e-scooters, architects and planners are increasingly incorporating scooter garages into their designs to promote sustainable transportation and reduce clutter in common areas.
These spaces are typically compact, easily accessible from the street, and may include features like ramps, secure locking stations, and charging outlets.
In residential buildings, scooter garages are often located near entrances or within parking garages, ensuring convenience and safety for users while maintaining a clean and organized environment.

In construction, a scooter garage detail drawing provides technical specifications and dimensions for the proper design and installation of a dedicated scooter parking area. These drawings are typically part of architectural or engineering plans and may include the following elements:
- Plan View: A top-down layout showing the number of scooter bays, spacing between each, circulation paths, and access points. It ensures efficient use of space and easy maneuverability.
- Section View: A cut-through drawing illustrating floor levels, ramps (if any), floor finishes (such as concrete or non-slip tiles), and drainage if required. It may also show wall-mounted charging stations.
- Elevation View: This shows the vertical surfaces, such as lockers, wall racks, signage, lighting fixtures, and security features like CCTV or barriers.
- Materials and Finishes: Details of surface materials used for durability and safety, such as epoxy-coated floors, stainless steel racks, or weather-resistant cladding.
- Dimensions and Clearances: Essential for compliance with local building codes and for ensuring scooters can be parked without obstruction—typically around 600–800 mm per scooter bay.
- Electrical and Charging Points (for e-scooters): If charging facilities are included, the drawing will show conduit paths, outlet locations, voltage specifications, and waterproofing measures.
- Security Features: These might include secure access (keycard or biometric), lockable racks, or enclosures with fencing or mesh.
- Ventilation and Lighting: Especially in enclosed spaces, details will include mechanical or natural ventilation systems and adequate lighting for safety.
These details help contractors and builders implement a well-functioning, safe, and user-friendly scooter storage space.
