Getting Around Scottsdale: 7 Fun Ways to Trek Around Town

In the literal sense, transportation can be seen as simply a means to get from one point to the next. But it’s also a great way to explore some of the most exciting things Scottsdale has to offer. Here are 7 traditional and non-traditional transportation options for getting around Scottsdale - from limos and party bikes to golf cart taxis! 

 


Arizona Party Bike

The bike comes complete with a rockin’ sound system and LED party lights.

Rent An E-Bike

As in, electric bike!

Over at Greenbelt Bike Tours, you can join a guided e-bike sightseeing tour to see the most iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and local hotspots in Scottsdale.

 


Segway Tours

They’ll have you rolling through Old Town in no time! And if you'd like to take the Segway fun off-road, Adventures Out West offers guides tours that take you off the beaten path to experience the beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
