Low Barrier to Entry—With Limits

You don’t need a driver’s license and riders 14 and older may participate (minors require adult supervision/signatures). The operator supplies helmets (optional) and seasonal gloves, but note the weight limit of 130 kg (287 lbs) and health/sobriety rules.

What the Ride Feels Like

You meet at the operator’s departure point, get briefed and fitted—helmets optional, gloves provided in colder months—then set off with a small group. The low platform and wide wheels encourage a relaxed, surf‑like stance; the guide paces the group and weaves commentary into a ride that feels freer than a walking tour but more social and less exerting than cycling.
