4 freewheeling routes you can book through Scootours

Scootours is perfect for teambuilding, birthday parties, or a day out with friends

Last updated: Monday, 25 July 2022 

Race through a bush tunnel on a Monster Mountain Scooter; scoot past wild eland, ostrich and wildebeest on a wine farm; or take on two off-road tracks, from Signal Hill to the colourful Bo-Kaap, and down Table Mountain. The monster scooters are non-electric (making them eco-friendly), easy to steer, and offer a unique way to get out into nature.

TRY THE FLOW TRAIL IN STELLENBOSCH

Scootours’ has a 45-minute, action-packed Flow Trail at Middelvlei Wine Farm in Stellenbosch, and it’s an adrenaline rush complete with meandering berms, a bush tunnel and bumpy rollers. It’s 850m of pure dirt-road rush that you speed through twice – don’t worry, you’re allowed a few practise runs to help you get the hang of it.

Afterwards, adults get a complimentary glass of wine and the kids, cool drink. You can extend your visit and book an archery session or a braai lunch with all the trimmings, such as chops, boerewors, braaibroodjies, Ouma Annie's pumpkin fritters and other South African favourites.

RIDE TWO OFF-ROAD TRACKS IN THE CITY

Explore the Mother City on a Monster Mountain Scooter. It’s an hour-and-a-half to two-hour tour, during which you glide down two different off-road tracks. The first one is a 5km jeep track that runs down the side of Signal Hill and takes you all the way to the colourful Bo-Kaap, and on the way you’ll have gorgeous views of Table Mountain, the city centre, Cape Town harbour and mosques in the Bo-Kaap.

The second track starts on the lower slopes of Table Mountain, at Dead Man’s Tree. Speed down the mountain, through Deer Park, into Oranjezicht, during which you’ll see views of Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, Cape Town Stadium and other points of interest.

Rates: R680 pp (driver), R290 pp (passenger).
Specials: Team-building midweek special; R550 pp (6 riders minimum)

Before starting the 2nd track you’ll get a chance to admire the views and take photos. Image: Scootours
