How many people can fit? 👨👩👦👦
One of our scooters can hold up to 400 lbs — an adult alone or one adult with one child. This is true for our scooters, not of the ones you can rent off the street. The scooters are not designed to hold two adults.
How old can do children have to be to ride a scooter? 🧒🏽
We commonly have kids who are 8 and up ride scooters, and below that age they routinely ride with parents. This is not allowed on the ones you would rent off the street.
What sights are included? 👁🗨
Our Cherry Blossom and Whirlwind Tours of the entire National Mall on tricycle includes the White House, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Luther King Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial.
A continuation of the tour for an additional fee allows for viewing of the following: Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, Signer's Island within Constitution Gardens (a hidden gem), the World War II Memorial, South Side of the White House, and part of the Presidential Parade Route.
How long does a tour last? 🕐
The initial tour of the White House plus the the major monuments & memorials (the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Luther King Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial) generally takes about 75 minutes.
If you continue with the purchased add on portion, then the total tour time is about 150 minutes (2.5 hours).
Do you pick up/drop-off? 🏨
We don't pick up and drop off scooters for our group tours (we only pick up and drop off for our private tours, for a fee). Group tours meet at our shop near the McPherson Square Metro Station.
Can I bring my pet? 🐕
We love dogs! But dogs need to be in a proper dog backpack or bag, and the scooter rider must have experience riding with such a backpack or bag.
Is this good for kids? 👶
This tour is excellent to keep kids entertained and engaged because we provide the best-of-the-best tour guides who keep your family excited and delighted. We have a separate tour called and the Kids Adventure Tour.
Is this good for people with disabilities or mobility issues? ♿
If the person can ride a two wheeled scooter, this could be just the way to get around easily without a lot of effort. We are in the process of acquiring three wheeled scooters which should give more options to those with disabilities or who are mobility impaired.
What if it rains, snows, it’s too cold or there’s inclement weather?☔
If you need to cancel your tour due to the inclement weather you can postpone to a different tour date. Alternatively we offer a 100% money back guarantee.
What if we cancel? ❌
We offer a 100% money back guarantee if you need to cancel your tour for any reason with at least 90 minutes notice before the tour.
What about restroom breaks? 🚽
Tours stop frequently for restroom breaks. Most monuments and memorials on tour feature a usable restroom during regular hours.
What are the best times to go on the tour? ⌚
Please pick a tour with a start time that suits your needs. Many tour times will start at 10 am or 2 pm.
What happens next, how do we schedule the tour? 📆
If you are on a group scooter tour, simply go to the booking page and pick a tour with the time and date that that works for you. If you decide you want to do a private tour instead so that it better aligns with your schedule, we will apply the full ticket price of up to two (2) tickets towards to price of that private tour. Call our number to discuss.
What happens if we go beyond the time length we book for? ⏳
You have the option of paying for an additional section of the tour beyond the initial tour time. If you decide to check out monuments and memorials on your own and return to the shop later, you will be charged the additional rental time at their published rates by the scooter shop. Please make sure you return the scooter shop before closing.
