Budapest E-Scooter Tours on MonsteRollers!
All of our guided e-scooter tours in Budapest use MonsteRollers. Put simply, there’s no better way to explore so much of our city in such a short space of time.
These vehicles have wheels that are 24cm (9.5”) wide, a range of 30km and a top speed of 25 km/h. Combined with a low platform and hydraulic disc brakes, they’re safe, secure, comfortable, and fun to ride. Even if you have no previous experience, it takes a matter of minutes to learn the basics. Your tour will start with a training session during which our guides make sure that everyone is comfortable before we head out!
And best of all, you DO NOT need to have a driver’s licence to rent and ride a MonsteRoller! They’re suitable for anyone over the age of 16.
We’re allowed to ride on Budapest’s cycle lane network, on low-traffic roads, and in traffic-restricted areas like Margaret Island. This means we can glide from place to place in the most direct way. As a result, riding a MonsteRoller is the fastest and most convenient way to explore Budapest, especially when compared with cars and public transport.
