Around the city - on an electric scooter
In Barnaul it is now “like in the capitals” - in several points of the city (mainly the center) you can rent an electric scooter. Download the application, add a bank card, select the one you like. Scooters have weight restrictions - no more than 100 kg. It is prohibited for two people to get on a scooter, even if together you weigh less than 100 kg. Carefully! The scooter can accelerate to 25 km/h. There are rental points near Nagorny Park, on Krasnoarmeysky Prospekt, at the Galaxy shopping center, on the Barnaul Arbat and in other places. For a minute - 8 rubles, and another 35 rubles - for the start of the trip. On the downside: car sharing is often more expensive than regular scooter rental.
