The best electric scooters for urban tourism

The days of traipsing around the city are a thing of the past. Today, personal mobility vehicles are the best option to discover the main tourist attraction of a destination.  They’re fast, comfortable, easy to ride, eco-friendly and give you complete autonomy. Here are some of the most impressive electric scooters to ask for when you rent one in your next urban destination.

Electric scooters are a fantastic solution for decongesting the world’s main urban centres and visiting the main tourist attractions in a city. They’re now a reality in our lives, and their possibilities are limitless.

The three pillars of this type of mobility are limited cost, versatility and sustainability. When it comes to urban mobility, the electric scooter is the king of all things cool.

While it’s true to say that when they first appeared some cities were plunged into chaos because of the lack of regulations, but in the case of Spain, and thanks to the regulations issued by the General Directorate of Traffic, and a period of transition and better information, they’re now accepted as an important means of traffic in the city.

It’s priced at around €300. The speed range varies between 15 and 25km/h, and the range is a little less than 30 kilometres. Its Achilles heel is the obvious loss of power on steep slopes.

This all-terrain electric scooter comes with thicker wheels and is designed to be a little more aggressive so you can explore more rugged terrain.
