Shipping Electric Scooters (Bulk Shipments)

Shipping Options

FCL (Full Container Load): Most cost-effective for appropriately packaged scooters filling a 20' or 40' container. Direct loading/unloading.
OOG (Out of Gauge): For unusually large/heavy scooters or those requiring specialized handling. May involve Breakbulk or flat rack containers; higher costs.
Breakbulk Shipping: Less common for bulk shipments unless volume is exceptionally large or scooters are unwieldy.

Materials: Sturdy cartons, internal bracing (e.g., corrugated cardboard, foam padding), protective wrapping (e.g., bubble wrap).
Securing: Use dunnage (e.g., wood blocks, inflatable bags) to prevent shifting during transit. Secure scooters with straps or other appropriate restraints.
