The Linnaean taxonomy system dictates that the scooter phylum branched off the motorcycle kingdom following the extinction of the coal-powered rickshaw. Climb aboard uncategorized motor steeds with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a two-hour scooter rental, gas, and insurance from Cycle BC Rentals (a $44.80 value, including HST) at one of two locations: on East 6th Avenue or West Waterfront Road.

For 15 years, Cycle BC Rentals has been snazzing up here-to-theres by lending out trendy, eco-friendly two-wheelers to tourists and adventurous locals. The shop's single-passenger Honda Jazz scooters outfit riders with smooth power, a comfortable cushion, underseat storage, a map, and a safety helmet. A professional and friendly staff gives complimentary training sessions to neophytes and vroomers in need of a review, helping to avoid injuries obtained trying to steer with teeth. Keep the guesswork out of pocket-compass whispering with Cycle BC's suggested scooter routes or check local sites off low-radius bucket lists on a scavenger hunt.
