Um Halb an der Bar e. V. – Support from Scooterists for Scooterists
Solidarity from the scene – for the scene
What began in 2015 as a spontaneous aid initiative has grown into a non-profit organisation with a clear mission: scooterists helping other scooterists in need. The tragic death of a Vespa rider at the time triggered an outpouring of sympathy within the community – and a wave of support.
Within a very short time, dedicated riders from across Germany collected donations for the grieving wife and newborn child. Direct, fast, and unbureaucratic – just as real help should be. The overwhelming response showed one thing clearly: the scooter scene sticks together.
This experience led to the idea of creating a lasting structure for this solidarity. The association “Um Halb an der Bar” was founded – by scooterists, for scooterists.
Helping when it matters
The organisation Um Halb an der Bar e. V. serves as a support hub for scooterists who find themselves in difficult life situations through no fault of their own. Whether after an accident, illness, or other misfortunes – we are ready to help when help is needed.
Together with the scooter community, we collect donations, coordinate aid campaigns, and demonstrate:
Solidarity in the scene is more than just a feeling – it makes a real difference.
Um halb an der Bar
... is a popular slogan in the scooter scene to arrange a casual meet-up with friends and like-minded people at rallies or niters – typically over a cold drink, at “half past” some undefined hour. The organisation that grew from this motto now supports injured riders – and in the worst cases – their families left behind.
Because some of our friends we will never meet again at half past at the bar.
Scooter Center has taken on sponsorship and supports the organisation with its infrastructure, including logistics, webshop and payment systems.
All proceeds go directly to the organisation. By purchasing a “UM HALB AN DER BAR” product, you directly support their mission.
