S1E48 NED Antoine Burdett on riding e-scooters, infrastructure and road rules issues, and social riding

In this Not Everyone Drives episode of the Streets and People podcast, Wendy chats with Antoine Burdett about his experiences with e-scooters and his involvement in the Scootmasters community. Antoine discusses how he first discovered e-scooters in 2018, his transition from personal pleasure riding to community volunteering, and the growth of the Scootmasters group to nearly 5,000 members. The conversation covers various aspects of e-scooter use, including infrastructure challenges, safety concerns, and the potential for e-scooters as a complement to traditional transportation. Antoine emphasizes the importance of thoughtful urban planning, education, and considerate use of e-scooters to foster a more accepting and safer environment for all users.

The Streets and People Podcast

Every day in Caboolture and Morayfield, people get left behind because they can’t drive. Some are too young. Some are older. Others live with disability or manage on a low income. You probably know 1 or 2 people in that situation.

We keep asking the same question: Why do cars get the red carpet while everyone else gets the gravel?

Get Around Caboolture is a local movement focused on practical transport solutions that work for more people. Through real stories and expert insights, our podcast highlights what’s missing – and what’s possible.

Our podcast series:

People & Projects (PnP): Interviews with researchers, advocates, and professionals working on transport solutions across Australia.

Not Everyone Drives (NED): Conversations with locals who don’t drive, sharing how transport access, or the lack of it, shapes their everyday lives.

Road Rules 360 (RR360)
Co-hosted with John Burrill, this series looks at road rules from all angles, with a focus on people walking, riding, scooting, or using mobility aids.

Get Around Caboolture is a community movement advocating for more travel options for people in
Caboolture & Morayfield. 

Our Goals

1. All children can ride to school on safe streets 

2. All young adults can get to work or study without needing a car so they begin adulthood without a debt of $15,000 a year. 

A lack of transport options leads to a high financial burden for
families, businesses and governments.

The only way we can be sustainable for the long term is with your help.
