USING A tRAVEL SCOOTER IN bERMUDA

How difficult is it to get around Bermuda with a travel scooter? I can fit in an a taxi to the beach. How about taking it on a bus?

I was just going to post the same question. I can probably avoid buses as we are docked in Hamilton and can ferry to places.

I know from experience just with a rolling walker that the scooter will be a problem for scooters.

No electric scooters are allowed on the buses. However you can take them on the ferry boat.

Have a great cruise!

I am again booking a private tour with Keith Simmons <keithsimmons@logic.bm>

He has the proper equipment to handle your scooter.

Actually, I took a travelscoot (folded up) on a bus. I carried it onto the bus. The bus driver was sort of rude about it, but never suggested it wasn't allowed. I'd say it's much easier to take the ferry if your schedule permits.

We also had the battery quit going up a steep hill in Hamilton. I should have gone up a hill that was a little less steep.

No scooters on busses, with possible exception of folded-up Travelscoot which (see post above) which I guess means they would treat it like luggage. I use a Travelscoot, but did not attempt to use the busses in Bermuda. Scooters big & small are welcome on ferries. Easy to roll on & off.

Curb cuts in downtown Hamilton make it pretty easy to get around. Almost no cuts in St. Georges, often requiring travel in the streets.

On steep hills in St,Georges, I had to tack (zig-zag) both going up to keep the battery going, and going down to stay within a speed my Travelscoot brakes would handle.

Thanks

Should be very easy. Here's the map of the Kings Wharf Dock area showing the location of everything relative to the cruise ship.
