The Moped Garage Continues

The Moped Garage program is on summer break and will resume in August at the Kuovi Youth Center, Kuovinkuja 4:

• Wednesday, August 19, 4:00–8:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, August 25, 4:00–8:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, September 2, 4:00–8:00 p.m.

The Moped Workshop is primarily intended for 15- to 17-year-olds who are interested in mopeds and want to learn how to maintain and repair them.

During the sessions, the young people are assisted by an instructor knowledgeable about mopeds and mechanics, as well as a youth counselor. The Moped Workshop is equipped with the necessary tools, but each moped owner 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 Mopotalli is to promote safe traffic behavior. After all, modifying mopeds is not even allowed. When visiting Mopotalli, young people agree to follow the center’s rules.
Mopotalli is one of the city’s youth centers where we follow the principles of a safer space. Our center is substance-free, and energy drinks are not allowed either.
