GPS guided sightseeing in a three wheeled moped
Apr 3, 2007 gps navigation, misc news, on bikes
“The cure for the common tour” is what GoCarTours calls it. Currently they operate in San Francisco and San Diego, and Miami is coming soon. They place you in a three wheeled moped with helmets on and for $44 for the first hour ($34 second hour, $24/hour after that) you get to have a GPS-guided tour of the city.
While burning asphalt at a top speed of 35mph the on board GPS navigation system can provide a story for more than 50 (for SF) historical points and landmarks. What makes these tours appealing is that you get to set your own pace and can travel to any place you like using the sat nav system if the preset landmarks are of no interest to you.
Other remarks:
- You can’t cross Golden Gate Bridge with it
- The vehicle gets over 60 miles per gallon
- Driving directions and tour narrations come in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German
- Max 2 people per vehicle
- Must be at least 18
