First thing first, why you should go for a bike, scooter, and e-scooter rentals instead of a car in Tenerife?
From a driver’s standpoint, parking in Tenerife is a nightmare. The local authorities seem to do things purposefully to make life difficult for drivers as they provide no viable alternative. Parking spaces mysteriously disappear every year to be replaced by pretty new flower beds or ugly decorations. Drivers often have to park hundreds of meters away from their destination. Meanwhile, traffic levels are rising, which leaves more and more drivers chasing fewer and fewer parking spaces. Drivers with tight deadlines often have no choice but to resort to expensive paid parking options.
There has been a significant increase in traffic and a decrease in parking spaces but with a bike (also electric) or a scooter you can avoid these stressful situations easily.
Regarding electric scooters, however, it is essential to know and follow safety rules to prevent accidents and injuries. In fact, the Policía Local de Santa Cruz de Tenerife is increasing controls to regulate the use of scooters and protect the riders, other drivers, and pedestrians.
More, if you are looking for somewhere hot and sunny to cycle, then Tenerife is the place for you because it also has fantastic smooth roads, so this island is perfect for cyclists.
Pegaso is the first shared mobility electric scooter company in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the only locally sourced company in the Canary Islands. Electric scooters are now spread throughout the city and anyone can pick it up in one place and drop it off in the other. In order to rent an electric scooter, download the application, register, and charge your account. The rented scooter can only circulate within the location designated on the app’s map. When you park, take a picture of your parked spot using the app to end your rental period. Each rented scooter is GPS-enabled and communicates its status with the server. At the moment Pegaso offers its services in the following cities: Santa Cruz, Los Gigantes, and Playa Paraiso but we hope they will expand their services soon to other crucial areas such as Las Americas and Los Cristianos.
