TSA Note

We view the SBU as a personal mobility device, helping you get from point “A” to point “B”. While we have ridden inside many US airport terminals and have been greeted with approval (and even clapping) by the TSA agents and other passengers walking to their gate, this may not be the case every time or the official policy. Please ride respectfully and safely to ensure a culture of responsible SBUers.
