4. Electric scooter hire

Location
Nice

Rent an electric scooter in Nice – a fun and efficient way to explore the city!

Sometimes the best way to explore a new city is to do it like the locals. Better than the train or a taxi, an electric scooter lets you glide through Nice at your own pace, so you won't miss a thing during your stay.

Nice is a large city and tricky to cover on foot in a single day – renting an electric scooter gives you the freedom and flexibility to see more, comfortably and efficiently. Skip the traffic and start your journey along the beautiful Promenade des Anglais.

From there, head into the heart of old Nice with its vibrant Cours Saleya market, tempting restaurants and colourful little streets. Then make your way up to Castle Hill for stunning panoramic views over the city and coastline.

The shop is conveniently located in the heart of the city – the perfect starting point to explore Nice and its famous Promenade des Anglais.

With a standard bike, you can easily reach the Promenade du Paillon (a beautiful stretch of city gardens) and the colourful, authentic streets of Old Nice. Feeling energetic? Ride further along the Riviera to nearby towns. It’s a handy and fun way to get around – ideal for discovering Nice at your own pace.

Prefer a boost? Choose an e-bike and ride up to sixty kilometres using the five speed modes. Venture out to Cap Ferrat via Villefranche-sur-Mer, or cruise along the coast towards the old town of Antibes. It’s a comfortable, eco-friendly and enjoyable way to explore more of the Côte d’Azur!
