Highlights
Outing Highlights
Compact Vespa‑style city scooters
Mid-size automatic scooters with a 4‑stroke, 3 HP engine and a top speed of 50 km/h offer efficient, easy city travel while consuming only about 2.5 liters per 100 km.
Unlimited mileage and flexible durations
Rentals run from single‑day eight‑hour hires up to seven days, and the offering includes unlimited mileage so you can set your own itinerary and tempo across the city.
Simple license requirements — strict operating limits
You can drive a 50 cc scooter with a regular car license (EU 'B' or 'AM' category or equivalent), but Hungarian law forbids carrying a passenger on 50 cc machines and bans their use on motorways and expressways.
