Barcelona: Electric Scooter Rental with Local Tips & GPS

Summary

Ride through Barcelona’s streets on an electric scooter with GPS

You’ll feel Barcelona’s pulse as you glide through its neighborhoods on a sturdy electric scooter with GPS support. Get local tips from friendly guides, stop wherever curiosity leads you, and enjoy bottled water along the way. It’s freedom to explore — plus a few unexpected laughs or detours that make it yours.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed when we picked up the electric kickscooter in Barcelona was how solid it felt — not like those wobbly rentals you see everywhere. The guy at the desk (I think his name was Marc?) handed us bottled water and grinned, “Don’t worry, you won’t get lost. GPS is built in.” He showed us how to use the brakes (actual bike brakes, which made me less nervous) and pointed out a few places on the map. I still managed to take a wrong turn near Plaça de Catalunya, but honestly, that’s half the fun.

The city feels different from this low-to-the-ground view — you catch little things, like the smell of fresh bread drifting out of bakeries or the way sunlight bounces off old stone walls. I kept hearing snippets of Catalan mixed with laughter as we zipped past tiny cafés. The fat tires made bumps almost disappear, which was good because I’m not exactly graceful on wheels. Our guide had suggested we check out El Born for lunch, and when we stopped there, some locals waved us over to try their favorite bocadillo spot. I probably butchered my order in Spanish but they just laughed and helped me out.

We covered way more ground than I expected — 30 kilometers goes further than you’d think when you’re not stuck in traffic or sweating up hills. There’s something kind of freeing about having your own pace and not worrying about missing a group or getting left behind. By the end, my hands smelled faintly like metal from gripping the handlebars (weird detail but true), and my hair was full of city air. I still think about that stretch along Passeig de Sant Joan where everything just felt wide open and easy.
