Want to see more of Miami Beach faster and have a blast doing it?
Picture yourself gliding past art-lined streets and oceanfront views without sweating through a long walk.
This ride uses a self-balancing vehicle with internal gyroscopes, so it feels steady, intuitive, and surprisingly easy. You get free training before you roll, so even first-timers who have questions about balance start with hands-on guidance.
Think of this as the smart middle way between a bus tour and a boat tour: more personal than a big bus, more ground covered than walking. You’ll hit iconic photo stops, lively art districts, and the best beachside stretches — all in much less time than on foot.

Most guided rides last about an hour. That includes a quick safety briefing, hands-on practice (usually 10–15 minutes), and a scenic loop along the beach and key city sights. If you want more time, ask about extended options—many operators offer 90-minute or two-hour routes.
Do I need prior experience to join a guided ride?
No prior experience is required. You’ll receive short training before you roll out. The devices are intuitive and stable; most people feel comfortable after a few minutes of practice under an instructor’s supervision.
What should I wear and bring for the tour?
Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a small water bottle. A lightweight backpack is handy for your phone and camera. Helmets are provided and recommended for safety.
Are tours family-friendly and suitable for photographers?
Yes. Families, solo travelers, and photographers all enjoy these rides. Guides tailor the pace for groups and will stop for photos at scenic spots like the boardwalk and art deco areas. Let the guide know if you need extra stops.
What are the age, height, and weight requirements?
Requirements vary by operator but typically riders must be at least 12 years old, able to stand upright, and weigh between 60–260 pounds. Check with the provider for exact limits and any parental consent rules for minors.
Is the route mostly flat and easy to ride?
Yes—the usual routes follow flat promenades, beachfront paths, and paved streets. Guides avoid rough terrain so the ride stays smooth and accessible for most fitness levels.
Can people with limited mobility participate?
Some providers offer adaptive options or shorter, slower routes. If you use a mobility aid or have specific concerns, contact the operator in advance so they can recommend the safest option or provide alternatives like a private shuttle.
What happens in bad weather or strong winds?
Tours may be delayed, shortened, or rescheduled in heavy rain or unsafe wind conditions. Most companies monitor forecasts and notify guests ahead of time. Bring a light rain jacket if showers are possible.
How does safety training work before the ride?
Training covers mounting, dismounting, speed control, turning, and braking. You’ll practice in a quiet area until the guide is confident you can handle the device. Safety briefings also review local rules and group communication signals.
Are guided routes the only way to explore, or are there combo options?
Many operators offer combo experiences—pair the ride with a boat or bus outing, or join themed routes like art deco or culinary stops. These combos give a broader view of the city in one outing.
How far will we travel during an hour route?
An hour typically covers 3–5 miles, depending on stops and group pacing. Guides plan routes to include photo spots and landmarks rather than long distances, so you get more depth than mileage.
Can I book private or custom tours for groups or special events?
Yes—private and custom routes are common for parties, corporate events, and photo shoots. Booking in advance ensures route customization, preferred time slots, and dedicated guides.
What should I know about cancellations and refunds?
Cancellation policies vary. Most companies allow free changes with 24–48 hours’ notice and offer refunds or rescheduling for weather-related cancellations. Confirm the operator’s policy when you book.
