Renting an electric scooter is undoubtedly the most convenient and efficient way to explore Yangshuo, especially around the bustling West Street (西街). Whether you’re planning a full day of sightseeing or just a casual trip, electric scooters are a popular choice for both locals and tourists. Here’s everything you need to know before renting one.
Rental Price and What to Expect
The rental price for an electric scooter generally ranges between ¥20-50 per day, depending on the model. If the price is higher than this, you might want to double-check whether the scooter offers additional features or a higher rental rate than usual. Before renting, make sure to confirm the following details:
- How many kilometers can the scooter actually travel?
- Is there a deposit required?
- What happens if you get a flat tire or run out of battery?
- What are the compensation policies in case of minor accidents or damages?
- Is the rental charged by the hour or by the day?
