Looking for a fast, affordable and sustainable way to get around Riga? Micromobility services make it easy to explore the city beyond the main tourist routes while avoiding traffic and reducing your environmental impact.
Whether you're commuting between neighbourhoods, visiting popular attractions or simply enjoying a ride along the riverside, Riga offers a range of convenient transport options, including electric scooters, mopeds and bicycles. Most vehicles can be rented directly through mobile apps, giving you the flexibility to travel at your own pace.
Electric scooters
Electric scooters are one of the most popular micromobility options in Riga, offering a quick and flexible way to travel short distances.
Shared e-scooters are available throughout the city and can be unlocked using mobile apps such as Bolt. Dedicated parking areas and marked zones help ensure safe and responsible use.
Before riding, remember to check local traffic rules and speed restrictions.
Electric Mopeds
For longer trips or greater comfort, electric mopeds provide another convenient way to explore the city. Moped rental services are available through apps such as Ride and Skok. A valid driver's licence is required to use these vehicles. Electric mopeds are ideal for travelling between neighbourhoods or reaching destinations that are further away from the city centre.
