Private Electric Scooter Tours:

• Flexibility – Our private UK city tours give you the freedom to choose your preferred date and start time. This means you can fit the tour around your schedule!
• Private Group – We accept private tour requests of up to 10 people. That means you can take a tour with just your friends, family or work colleagues. 
• Personalised – A private group tour means you receive more one-on-one time with the tour guide. This can create a more intimate and tailored experience.
• Covid-19 – Booking a private tour gives you the peace of mind that you’ll not be interacting with too many other people.

Ahead of the tour, you will need to download and set up an account on the Dott App. Please ensure your account has up-to-date payment information. We advise all our customers to input the relevant debit or credit card information before arriving for the tour.

You will need to use the app to unlock your e-scooter at the start of the tour, then lock the e-scooter at the end of the tour. Therefore, please ensure your phone has a reasonable battery charge.

All necessary information, including a link to the App Store and Play Store, will be included in your booking confirmation email!

For all of our electric scooter tours, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old.

In addition, you must be in possession of one of the following:

• A valid provisional or full UK driving licence.
• A valid full licence from an EU or European Economic Area (EEA) country.
• A valid full licence from another country that entitles you to drive a small vehicle in the U.K.

If you are unsure whether your driving license is applicable, then check this government link: “Gov.uk – E-Scooter Trials: Guidance for Users.”

When you first access a Dott e-scooter you will be asked to verify your identity, therefore you must bring your driving license along on the day of your tour. You will need to scan your license via the Dott app, therefore you must bring the plastic photo-ID version of your license, not the paper counterpart.

If you do not bring your license, we cannot guarantee you will be able to access an e-scooter.

Don’t have a license? Or has your license recently expired? We also offer a collection of excellent Private E-Bike Tours. All of our e-bike tours do not require a driving license so provide the perfect alternative!

Our tours are planned to be as safe as possible. They use scooter-friendly roads and cycle lanes wherever possible. The group capacity is limited to 10 customers. We also provide every customer with a helmet. For more information about how we make our tours safe, visit our Safety Page.

You can also discover more about riding safely with Dott here: “Dott X Safety.”

Please note this is an outdoor activity, therefore we recommend bringing appropriate clothing for all weather. If it is raining or cold we recommend wearing comfortable footwear, a warm coat and gloves.

We may cancel if there is heavy rain or snow. We will only cancel tours if the weather makes for an unsafe riding experience. Cancellations on short notice due to severe weather (such as Met Office weather warnings, strong wind or heavy rain/snow) will come with a full refund or rearranged tour.  

Customer cancellations more than 72 hours in advance will also come with a full refund or rearranged tour.
