Set off from Beuningen on an electric chopper and follow your own route through fields and forests with a handy roadmap. You’ll get local tips at pickup and ride quietly past canals and villages for two hours — no guide or group needed. It’s a relaxed way to see the Dutch countryside that’ll stick with you long after you hand back the keys.
The first thing I noticed was the quiet — not just the kind you get in the countryside, but that strange hush when you’re gliding along on an E Chopper and there’s no engine noise, just wind and the occasional bird. We started at Actief Twente’s office in Beuningen, where I parked my car (felt safe enough to leave it there) and tried not to look too clueless as one of their team showed me how the chopper worked. He had this easy way about him, like he’d done this a thousand times. I still fumbled with the helmet strap though — always do.
They handed me a roadmap, which honestly looked more like a treasure map than anything official. The route wound through fields and little patches of forest — I could smell cut grass somewhere nearby, and once or twice caught a whiff of cows (classic Dutch countryside). The E Chopper itself felt sturdy but light; I half expected it to be twitchy but it wasn’t. There’s something about steering with just a gentle nudge that makes you feel oddly grown-up, even if you’re grinning like an idiot under your helmet.
I passed a couple of locals walking dogs who gave me that nod people do here — friendly but not nosy. At one point, I stopped near a canal just because the water was so still it looked fake. Didn’t expect to feel so relaxed doing something this simple, but there it was. The weather held up too: cloudy but dry, perfect for not getting sunburned or soaked. Two hours went by faster than I thought; I kept checking the battery out of habit but it never dipped low.
On the way back, I tried to remember if I’d ever done something quite like this before — just rolling along without any guide or schedule, no pressure except to make it back in time. It’s funny how freeing that is. If you’re looking for some big adrenaline rush, maybe look elsewhere; but if you want two hours where all you have to think about is which turn looks more interesting on your map… well, this is pretty much perfect for that.
