About this tour

What to expect
You'll arrive at a rural Norman property with château grounds and enclosed training area. After a brief safety briefing and gear fitting, you'll spend 30 minutes mastering the scooter on an obstacle course—expect bumps, tight turns, and steep grades to test your balance and throttle control. Once comfortable, you'll hit the open countryside for two hours of steady riding. The pace suits mixed abilities: some sections roll gently through fields, others climb hillsides or descend toward the coast. You'll stop for photos and to take in views. Riders steer independently; the guide leads from ahead or follows behind.
Good to know
Suitable for most fitness levels, but unsuitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Bring water and wear layers; spring and autumn offer the best riding conditions. E-scooters are stable but require core engagement; expect mild muscle soreness if you've never ridden one.
