Syracuse, New York, often referred to by the locals as ‘Cuse or the Salt City, is a growing city of roughly 144,869 residents! Regionally, Syracuse’s metro population is nearly 662,057 people across multiple cities and towns in the Syracuse metro area. It is also likely to grow due to Micron’s major investment in Clay, New York.
Each year, tourists and locals flock to the city from spring to fall to enjoy some of the most vibrant music performances at Empower FCU Amphitheater at Lakeview, or catch a Syracuse University home game. Other loves hanging out around Onondaga Lake, or travel down to the Finger Lakes. While many come for a fun late night scene at Armory Square, where you can find some of Syracuse’s top restaurants, wine bars, and cocktail lounges. During the summer and fall seasons, the city has beautiful weather, and there are many recreational activities to enjoy.
Veo Scooters lined up and ready to ride about town!
For those visiting from out of town, or locals traveling to Armory Square, those who are tired of dealing with parking or prefer alternative options for exploring a city, there is one mode of transportation that shines bright above traveling by car, and it is one of the best ways to explore a smaller city like Syracuse.
I’m talking about the Veo Micromobility, a fully electric scooter that comes in two forms. One, a seated scooter that resembles a Vespa if it were also a bicycle, and the other, a stand-up scooter that is edgier and reminiscent of the Razor scooters of the early 2000s.

By now, you’re probably thinking, Why should I ride an electric scooter around the city? First, Syracuse, New York, is small enough to travel about and see many places, but it also has some subtle hills that can be fun to ride around on. It is a decently walkable city in the U.S., but there is much more to see if you’re able to cruise at a fast speed. For this reason, walking from one neighborhood to another across town can easily take anywhere between 15-30 minutes if you’re on foot. Riding a Veo from one destination to another will save you time, and is one of the funnest ways to get from Point A to Point B in Syracuse.
Veo speeds reach around 14-15 MPH, so a 10-25 minute walk transforms into a 3-8 minute scooter ride, and saves you time and energy. For less experienced riders, the app includes safety features that can reduce speeds to about 8 mph. The beauty of this wonderful electric device is the ability to visit landmarks in minutes without the hassle of driving and parking. There are some great landmarks to see on a Veo in Syracuse too!
There are very few cities that are as accessible by multimodal transportation as Syracuse; for this reason, Veo scooters are one of the premier forms of transportation, besides riding bicycles. If you’re interested in taking a ride across town, I have a quick promo code for you to use! You can click the Veo promo code: 5IXGNBN or enter it in the Veo App for a free $5 for your first ride on us!
As with any vehicle, safety should always be the utmost priority. Please enjoy and ride responsibly, and I truly hope you enjoy the magnificent ride around the Salt City! Please remember to park in the appropriate designations.
