Renting an e-chopper: 9 practical tips for a hassle-free ride

Why rent an e-chopper?

An e-chopper is quiet, electric and relaxed. You ride comfortably, don't require any effort and experience the surroundings in a unique way. It's no coincidence that e-choppers are extremely popular with tourists, groups of friends and company outings.

But to really enjoy yourself, good preparation is important. Below you'll find the most important tips.

9 practical tips for renting an e-chopper

1. Check that you have a valid driver's license

For e-choppers, there is a AM or B driving license required. Bring your driver's license to the rental location and during your trip, because you're not allowed to drive without a license.

2. Reserve your e-chopper on time

E-choppers are mainly in the spring, summer and holidays booked up quickly. By booking in advance, you avoid disappointment and make sure you can drive on your desired date.

3. Note the range of the battery

With a fully charged battery, you can drive approximately 55 km. Ask the rental company in advance how many kilometers you can drive. Adjust your route accordingly and take stops into account. This way you avoid having to turn around halfway.

4. Please wear comfortable and appropriate clothing

Even when the weather is nice, it can be chilly on the road. A windbreaker and sunglasses make your ride a lot more comfortable, especially on longer routes.

5. Ask for fun routes and local tips

Many hosts offer mapped out routes along boulevards, woods or villages. This makes your ride more fun and prevents you from missing important highlights.

6. Check the e-chopper before departure

Check the vehicle with the rental company:

• Battery level
• Brakes
• illuminating
• Tyres

So you can go out with peace of mind.

7. Take into account traffic rules

E-choppers ride on the bike path. Always follow the landlord's instructions and traffic signs.

8. Make it a real experience

Plan stops consciously: a beach tent, terrace or viewpoint. The e-chopper is not a rush, but part of your day out.

9. Return the e-chopper neatly and on time

By being back on time and returning the vehicle properly, you prevent extra costs and help create a pleasant experience for the next tenant.
