Rochester, New York, often referred to by the locals as Roc City, is a growing city of roughly 215,000 residents! Regionally, Rochester’s metro population is nearly 1.2 million people across multiple counties in the Greater Rochester area.

Each year, tourists and locals flock to the city of Rochester from spring to fall to enjoy some of the most vibrant music festivals in the Finger Lakes and parts of Western New York. While many come for the music, most stay for the outstanding restaurants, wine bars, cocktail lounges, beautiful weather, and a gorgeous 96-foot waterfall with spectacular views at the historic Genesee Brewery and Brew House.

For those visiting from out of town, or locals traveling to downtown Rochester 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. 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, Rochester, New York, is a relatively flat city. It is one of the more walkable cities in the U.S., but some neighborhoods are relatively sprawled depending on the landmarks or sites you wish to see when you’re visiting. For this reason, walking from one neighborhood to another across town can easily take anywhere between 15-30 minutes if you’re walking. 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.

Veo speeds reach around 14-15 MPH, so a 15-30 minute walk transforms into a 5-10 minute scooter ride, and saves you 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 very few cities that are as accessible by multimodal transportation as Rochester; for this reason, Veo scooters are one of the premier forms of transportation, besides bicycles.
