An e-scooter is the fastest way to see Midtown without burning out. Our scooters do 20 mph, carry 350 lbs, and run for a full 45-mile range. From our shop you're 5 minutes to Times Square, 10 to Bryant Park, 15 to the High Line. No license required.
The route
From our counter at 361 W 52nd St, New York, NY 10019 you're two blocks south of Columbus Circle. Walk west on 52nd, north on 8th, and the southwest gate of Central Park is right there. Once inside, the inner loop is six miles of car-free pavement that hits every landmark on the postcard rack.
Stops we recommend
- Bethesda Fountain — the angel, the buskers, the terrace.
- Strawberry Fields — the mosaic and the quiet.
- Bow Bridge — the postcard.
- The Mall — the elms.
- The Great Lawn — the picnic.
- The boathouse on the way back when your legs are tired.
What to rent
For Central Park alone, our hybrid Cannondale Adventure 2 is the right tool. Easy mount, 7-speed gearing, disc brakes — comfortable for a 90-minute loop or a three-hour wander. If you want to add the Hudson Greenway or roll to Brooklyn after, upgrade to the e-bike and your range triples.
