Best Places to Ride E-Scooters in San Diego
Routes and Maps
San Diego is an incredible city to explore on an e-scoooter or Onewheel. With lots of dedicated bike lanes and multi-use paths you can see the top sights with ease. Wherever you are navigating be sure to use select the biking option on google maps for the best way to get there. We have found google maps to be much better than apple maps or any other GPS for biking. Our scooters are easily folded and put into a car as well. Here is a list of our recommended areas to explore with routes highlighted.
The Onewheel Is like Nothing Else
Ride one of the most revolutionary board sports and forms of transportation the world has ever seen. The Onewheel hoverboard has changed the game allowing you to seamlessly float across all terrain including grass, trails, sand, pavement, and everything in between. With its powerful brushless hub motor, Onewheel XR can reach speeds up to 19mph and has a range of between 12-18 miles on a single charge. Its companion app allows you to track speed, battery percentage, and change the way the board rides using shaping modes. L
Balboa Park
This is a top must see destination to explore on one of our e-scooters. This gem is full of unique Spanish architecture, museums, gardens, and more! The park has many free parking lots throughout but we recommend you start towards its center at the Japanese friendship garden and head out from there. Everything in dark green is a dedicated bike or multi-use path. We would recommend at least 1-2 hours here.
