Electric Scooter or Gas Scooter: Which One to Rent in Da Lat?

The short answer

Staying in town and riding short distances? An electric scooter is quiet, easy and needs no license. Planning hills, passes or trips out of the city? Take a gas scooter, ideally the Honda Air Blade 125.

• Quiet, no gears, no fuel stops.
• Range of about 40 km per charge — enough for the center and nearby sights.
• Low power: slow on steep hills and passes.
• Two riders only if your combined weight is under 120 kg.
