Mopotalli will begin operations on April 8.!

Mopotalli begins on Wednesday, April 8, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Kuovi Youth Center, Kuovinkuja 4.
Mopotalli is primarily intended for 15- to 17-year-olds who are interested in moped maintenance, repair, and mopeds in general. During the sessions, the young people will be assisted by an instructor knowledgeable about mopeds and mechanics, as well as a youth counselor. The Mopotalli workshop has the necessary tools, but each moped rider must provide their own spare parts for repairs. Mopeds cannot be left in the space to wait for the next session, as the space is also used for other activities.

An important goal of the moped garage is to promote safe traffic behavior. After all, tuning mopeds is not even allowed. By visiting the moped garage, young people commit to following the garage’s rules.
The moped garage is one of the city’s youth centers where we follow the principles of a safer space. Our facility is substance-free, and energy drinks are also not allowed.

For more information, contact youth counselor Jessina Vastamäki at 040 180 9780.
