This summer (2021) I am working with Travel Alberta and my friend Chad Kruger Productions on a series of videos inspiring you to Explore Edmonton (and area)!
The first video of this summer series is:
Wheeling Around Edmonton – Segway, Vespa, and E-Bike to Explore Edmonton
Ideas to Explore Edmonton on Wheels:
- Rent Segways from River Valley Adventure Co.
- Have a patio lunch overlooking the river before or after your adventure
- Segway to a few city landmarks:
- Louise McKinney Riverfront Park
- 100 Street Funicular
- James MacDonald Bridge Wildlife Instagrammable Underpass
- Rossdale Power Plant
- Walterdale Bridge
- Across the Low Level Bridge
- Segwaying is simply standing and shifting your weight front to back or side to side to move!
- If you’ve never done it before you can book a guided experience
- If you have done it before, you can just rent segways and take them out on your adventure
- Rent Vespas from VespaYEG
- Take your Vespa on a city Scavenger Hunt which will take you to many picture-perfect destinations around Edmonton.
- Snap photos in front of the Manchester Square fountain
- Stop into shop at Majesty & Friends
- Hit up the Arcadia Brewing Co. patio
- Stop for snacks along 124 Street:
- Visit the Oliver Exchange Building
- If you book: use my code LINDORK10 for 10% off your rental! (I make a few bucks back)
- Rent e-bikes from Pedego Edmonton
- Electric bikes make biking SO accessible! You can go farther and faster, without really breaking a sweat. It’s literally a game changer for me!
- My absolute favourite electric bike brand is Pedego Canada and I was so thrilled when locally-owned Pedego Edmonton opened this year!
- You can rent Pedego e-bikes to zip around the city. They are conveniently located in Old Strathcona, which gives you easy access to lots of spots like:
- Yelo’d Ice Cream
- Instagrammable Walls (check my guide / bike down alleyways!)
- Nhon Hoa Sandwich Bar
- Teapsy Lab
- Avila Arepa
- Ritchie Market
- City skyline view from Saskatchewan Drive
- and more!!
Of course you can take your wheels really anywhere in the city, these are just the general areas we hung around. All three options are locally-owned and offer unique and fun ways to explore. I highly recommend!
