Central Park Electric Scooter Rentals: New York

Cover Central Park on your own schedule, no crowds or transfers to wait for.

Rent a brand-new electric scooter in Central Park for 1 to 5 hours, with helmet, map and safety instruction included. You choose the rental length at checkout. Scooters travel up to 15 mph and come equipped with brakes, throttle, bell and lights, so you can explore the park efficiently without relying on public transit or a guide's pace.

The experience

Pick your rental length (one hour, two hours, three hours, or five hours), and the scooter is yours to ride at whatever speed and route you want. Every rental includes a helmet and a free map of Central Park. NYC bike maps are also available if you want to venture beyond the park. If you've never ridden an electric scooter before, the rental team offers a safety lesson to get you comfortable with the throttle, brakes and balance before you head out.

The scooters are brand new and maintained regularly, equipped with headlights and taillights so you can ride in different light conditions. They handle flat ground, hills and downhill sections at speeds up to 15 mph, which means you can cover significantly more of the park than you would on foot. The bell and brakes give you control in crowded areas, and the throttle lets you adjust your speed as you go. Riding is straightforward enough for families and works for all fitness levels.

This is a no-guide, no-schedule rental: you decide where to go, how long to stay at each spot, and when to turn back. It's a practical way to see more of Central Park in a single outing without arranging transport or joining a group.
