Why this matters

1.25 m² per scooter is the densest practical layout that still allows users to park, lock, and retrieve without disturbing adjacent vehicles.

Typical practice

Most apartments calculate two-wheeler parking at 1 per dwelling unit minimum. Tighter projects pack scooters at 1.0–1.1 m² per unit.
