dc scooter — Local services in Washington

Rented 12 scooters from DC Scooter for a multi-family DC vacation, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip for everyone, including the adults. We wanted to see as many of the monuments as we could in 4 hours, and we knew it would take an entire day on foot, so we had the scooters delivered to us outside of the natural history museum. Joie arrived promptly at 4pm with the scooters, and after some initial setup and instructions, we were off! Our group ranged in age from 10 years to mid 50’s, and none of us had any prior e-scooter experience, so we were a bit nervous, but everyone did great. We had the scooters set to eco mode, to limit the speed to around 15 mph, and the kids all received free helmets to use. Honestly, after getting used to them, many of us wanted to go faster, but with all the pedestrians on the mall, the slower speed was probably safer, and we still got to see everything from the Washington monument to the Jefferson memorial. We ended our ride at the DC wharf, and we just locked them up and left them there, per instruction (but we could have left them anywhere in the city, as they use GPS to locate and collect them). Super convenient, so much fun, and afterward, everyone kept wishing we had the scooters the whole trip! DC Scooter was fantastic from start to finish. Appreciated their responsiveness to email questions, and when the 10 year old in the group decided he wasn’t comfortable riding alone, they were quick to refund us the cost of one scooter. The equipment was also in good shape, and even when we had issues with one of the locks and the speed limiter on one scooter, they were able to solve those issues remotely. All in all, a 5 star experience. Highly recommend renting...

I checked out dc scooter by searching Scooter rental in DC because I was not able to locate 4 Dockless scooters called jump and skip for the rest of my family. I was able to find one for myself, but we needed 4 more - 5 all together. I also had two kids under 12 who weren’t allowed to ride them (according to the app and rules) although I saw tons of kids under that age riding alone or with someone else on the same scooter. Initially we thought to try Do you locate three and put two people on two of them until we found the rest. Seem like the app in the GPS wasn’t accurate and some scooters are also be completely on charged or somewhat damaged and keep in mind I’m in Washington DC where I’ve never been before so this was very confusing and frustrating. So I call dc scooter and they took care of us. They’re SMART Scooters that look like mini segways, were unbelievably easy! It was practical for my wife and I with the heat and she has a bad hip. When I called dc scooter and spoke to Greg, He assured me that this would be the perfect solution for her who is 55 and for me the same age. My kids were under the permitted age for the jump and skip scooters, but Greg made it happen with the SMART Scooter (might want to buy one when I get home to NJ). They were so cool and stylish. They even had a Bluetooth speaker! I strongly recommend to anyone in dc looking to have a...

Greg is great to work with! The more hours or days you rent the better the price per hour. Rent more pay less. He will work with you the longer your rental.. We were in town for 9-days on vacation, time is everything. You could spend your time trying to plan and land at each location by Metro but very time consuming and never exactly where you need to be, plus walking for hours on ending will wear you down. We rented the DC scooters for multiple days. Rode from AC-hotel Marriott K and 7th to National mall top to bottom side to side. Rode to spy museam and back. Rode to White house visitor center and Georgetown harbor historic district and the national cathedral and back. The best thing is you stop at the front entrance to everything, use a bike lock provided to secure your scooters and when your done hop back on your DC scooters and head to the next desired locations. We seen more things in one day on scooters than you could do in 5-days walking our depending on hoping off and on the Metro train, bus our taxi. We grab Uber to do laundry at the mat, visit George Washington Mt.Vernon estate and to and from airport and scooters everywhere else. Scooters are worth the money because your time is worth the money. Do more in less time and energy. Schedule a delivery or pick up at his location. DC Scooters are...
