Ghent e-scooter offroad tour: Parks, graffiti & urban trails

Ride Ghent's hidden corners on an e-scooter built for bumps and playgrounds

The Green Snake Tour is a guided 3.5-hour e-scooter ride through Ghent that mixes bike paths, single tracks, parks and urban obstacles. You'll cruise Keizerspark, glide through the graffiti street, explore East Ghent's green belt, and navigate the city from Ghelamco Arena to Handelsdokken. The tour adjusts to your pace and fitness level, and every scooter comes with a full-suspension frame, helmet, backpack and an enthusiastic guide in your choice of language.

The experience

The scooters here are built for the terrain. Each one has a 24-inch full suspension and two powered wheels, so you're not fighting the bumps: the bike feels them instead. You'll start with the basics, then move into the route: Keizerspark's quiet paths and pond, then the colorful graffiti alley where street artists work year-round, then the green belt that runs through East Ghent. The guide picks the pace. If you want to tackle the urban obstacles and playful challenges scattered through the city, you can. If you'd rather cruise at a steady roll, that works too. The scooter does the heavy lifting (each wheel has its own electric motor), so a moderate fitness level is enough to keep up.

The route connects corners most visitors miss. You'll pass the Ghelamco Arena, glide along the Handelsdokken where old warehouses have become galleries and cafes, and weave through neighborhoods that don't show up on the standard walking tour. The whole day is 3.5 hours, and the guide adjusts both intensity and duration to match the group. A helmet, backpack with battery space, and an enclosed pocket for valuables come with the scooter. The guide stays with you the whole time and handles roadside help if anything needs it.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French and Dutch.

Can I do this e-scooter tour if I've never ridden one before?

Yes. If you can ride a bike, you can ride an e-scooter. The motors do the work, so you only need a moderate fitness level and the ability to balance and steer. The guide will walk you through the controls before the route starts.

What's the graffiti alley like, and is it safe to ride through?

The graffiti street is a famous spot in Ghent where street artists create colorful murals and pieces on the walls. It's a popular destination for locals and tourists interested in street art. You'll glide through on the scooter as part of the route, and the guide leads the way.

How does the Handelsdokken fit into the tour?

The Handelsdokken are historic harbor areas that have been redeveloped into a vibrant cultural zone with galleries, cafes, events and water views. The tour takes you along the water and through the blend of old warehouses and modern spaces as part of the route from Ghelamco Arena onward.

What happens if the weather turns bad during the tour?

The tour runs in light conditions, but you'll need to bring sturdy shoes with good grip and wear long pants and a base layer. A raincoat or spare clothes are not included, so bring your own if rain is forecast.

Can I adjust the tour to match my fitness level?

Yes. The guide tailors both intensity and duration to the group's pace and abilities. There's room for riders who want to tackle obstacles and challenges, and also for those who prefer a leisurely pace. You control how hard you push.

Is there an age limit for this tour?

The minimum age is 16. There's no upper age limit. The scooter's electric motors mean you're not fighting the terrain, and the tour is designed for all fitness levels, so grandparents and grandchildren can ride together comfortably.
