That is \u20ac10 per hour!<br>As you can see, the costs can quickly add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to see and travel a lot in the city, public transport can be much cheaper. For example, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/en\/lisbon-attractions-c76528\/tickets-for-lisbon-card-p974847\/?partner=mylittletravelstories&amp;tq_campaign=steps+lisbon\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Lisboa Card<\/a> you can travel unlimited all day long with public transport and the nice trams in Lisbon.<br>I would therefore mainly rent a scooter for occasional use and because it is fun, not necessarily to travel with you for your entire city trip. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/en\/lisbon-attractions-c76528\/tickets-for-lisbon-card-p974847\/?partner=mylittletravelstories&amp;tq_campaign=steps+lisbon\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\">Read more about the Lisbon Card here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how does the electric scooter work in Lisbon?\">How does the electric scooter work in Lisbon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It works very simply: after you have unlocked a scooter, you unlock the scooter a few times. Then you can give electric gas. With your right hand you can speed up, with your left hand you can slow down. Keeping balance is not difficult \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"advantages and disadvantages\">Advantages and disadvantages of the electric scooter in Lisbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You can easily explore the city without walking too much<\/li><li>You can get from A to B faster<\/li><li>It&#8217;s really a lot of fun!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Lisbon has few cycle paths so sometimes you have to cross the road or the footpath.<\/li><li>Lisbon has a lot of small cups, which is sometimes not very comfortable on your scooter<\/li><li>Lisbon has a lot of hills, especially if you are heavier, the scooter can have a hard time.

Here are the rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It is not allowed to drive on the sidewalk. If there is a bicycle path, you ride on the bicycle path, otherwise on the roadway.<\/li><li>You are not allowed to ride with two people on one e-step.<\/li><li>You can drive a maximum of 25 km\/h. This is about as fast as an electric bicycle. The steps can&#8217;t get any faster either<\/li><li>It is not allowed to use a telephone, headphones or earphones while driving.<\/li><li>It is forbidden to park your electric scooter in the historic red zone (the Alfama and Bairro Alto districts). Park your scooter a bit neatly at all \ud83d\ude0a The municipality has also marked certain areas where you can park the scooters. You can recognize them by the green stickers with P on them. It would be nice if you stick to that a bit (not everyone does that, you see the steps everywhere).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you want to read more about Lisbon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylittletravelstories.com\/en\/lisbon\/coolest-neighborhoods-in-lisbon\/\"> Coolest neighborhoods in Lisbon<\/a><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylittletravelstories.com\/en\/lisbon\/lisboa-card\/\">Lisboa Card<\/a> &#8211; save money during your trip to Lisbon<br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylittletravelstories.com\/en\/lisbon\/tram-28-in-lisbon\/\">Tram 28<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can rent very handy electric scooters in Lisbon.
