What’s the experience like?

I didn’t know what to expect when we showed up at the meeting point — just that I was a little nervous about riding an e-scooter in Prague’s old town (those cobblestones look wild up close). Our guide, Pavel, handed me a helmet and grinned like he’d seen this before. He gave us coffee while we figured out who wanted which ride — my partner went for the fat-tire eBike, I stuck with the scooter. There was this faint smell of rain in the air but nobody seemed bothered; they had raincoats ready anyway.

We zipped off toward the John Lennon Wall first. It’s funny how quiet those scooters are — you hear your own laughter echoing off the painted bricks more than anything else. Pavel told stories as we rode, sometimes stopping so we could try to pronounce Czech words (I failed spectacularly at “Strahovský Klášter” — he laughed and said even locals mess it up). The city feels different from two wheels; you catch little things like the way people gesture at their dogs in Letná Park or the smell of fresh bread drifting from somewhere near Old Town Square.

The best part? That view from Letná Hill. We all just stood there for a minute, helmets off, looking down at the bridges and red roofs. I still think about that moment — something about the light over Prague Castle made everything feel kind of suspended. We cruised past St. Vitus Cathedral (didn’t go inside, but honestly just seeing it towering above was enough), then wound our way back through narrow lanes where you could almost touch both walls if you stretched out your arms. My hands tingled from holding on tight over the bumpy bits — worth it though.

By the end, my hair was a mess under the helmet and my phone was full of pictures Pavel took for us (he insisted on getting one with everyone grinning at Charles Bridge). If you’re thinking about a day trip by e-bike or scooter in Prague, don’t worry too much about being perfect at riding — they’ll show you how. And if it rains? You’ll probably just laugh harder.
