Highlights
Outing Highlights
A route that points you to local favorites
The scavenger hunt was designed to showcase operator recommendations and encourage riders to eat and shop at Oceanside businesses rather than simply ride the scooter for the full period.
Photo tasks and social posting are built in
Among the 6–12 items you'll be given, several require posting images to Facebook and Instagram and tagging Ride Oside; other tasks are completed by presenting receipts from recommended venues.
Complete the list and recover part of the fee
The hunt ties points to specific tasks (totaling 60 points) and offers a partial refund when you return the scooter with required proof and battery level.
What the day feels like
What the four hours feel like
The itinerary alternates short scooter hops with time ashore for eating, shopping and photographing checkpoints. The experience is intended not as four continuous hours of riding but as a blended outing: up to roughly half the time in motion on the scooter and the remainder spent visiting local stops and fulfilling photo or purchase tasks.

Details to review before reserving
The booking covers a four‑hour period on the scooter; the format allocates roughly half that time to riding and half to stops and tasks.
Bring a charged phone for photos and social posts, and keep receipts for any purchases or meals that count toward the scavenger list; you must be able to present posts and receipts as proof.
To qualify for the refund conditions you must return the scooter with at least two bars of power remaining and provide proof (posted photos and/or receipts) for the listed items.
Operated by Ride Oside and designed to encourage local shopping and dining while using electric scooters as short‑range transportation between stops.
