San Diego is a fantastic place to explore with electric rideables like Onewheels and scooters. The city’s year-round good weather, abundant waterways, and well-maintained bike paths offer endless opportunities for cruising and sightseeing. Here are some of the best spots I’ve discovered over years of riding, offering minimal traffic and convenient charging stops.
Mission Bay is a top pick with its electric rideable-friendly paths, stunning waterfront views, and numerous places to recharge.
The Embarcadero provides an exciting route past iconic landmarks, including the San Diego harbor and USS Midway, although it’s not recommended for beginners due to heavy pedestrian traffic.
Coronado Island and Tidelands Park, though technically banning electric scooters and motorized vehicles, are usually Onewheel-friendly. The chances of getting stopped are slim, and I’ve never encountered any issues.
The Strand, linking Coronado Island and Imperial Beach, offers a spacious and serene ride with few people around.
Ocean Beach and the San Diego River area lead you into the heart of Ocean Beach, known for its shops, restaurants, and vibrant atmosphere.
La Jolla and Birdrock, while limited in bike paths, offer quiet streets and numerous attractions like La Jolla Cove and Children’s Pool.
Balboa Park, with its many rideable paths, is a must-visit, although it can be pedestrian-heavy at times.
On the flip side, it’s best to avoid Pacific Beach due to minimal bike paths and heavy traffic. Mission Beach Boardwalk can be too touristy and crowded. Sunset Cliffs is for street riding only and experiences heavy traffic.
Riding on San Diego beaches is officially not allowed for motorized vehicles, but Onewheels are often an exception. To ensure peace of mind, consider avoiding areas with many lifeguards or people. Pacific Beach near Law St. is a good option.
Scripps to Blacks Beach is another wonderful route to explore on your electric rideable.
San Diego offers numerous other fantastic riding spots, and this list provides a good starting point for your electric adventure.

Hi, Jimmy! Love your videos and all the great info about e-transportation…thanks so much. Heres a question for you: My son, Scott (37) is contemplating buying three OneWheel Pints for his three sons (12, 11, and 9). These are athletic kids, but biking and hiking, not skateboarding. Is there a place or popup shop in SoCal where the kids could see and try them first? They live in Encinitas. He is also open to considering used wheels. Since the new ones are not returnable, Im concerned that he’s investing a lot before knowing if the kids will like them! Do you have any advice for him? Thanks so much!
Check out Jesse. He’s close to you guys! Great Onewheel rental service and lessons: https://youtu.be/-N8y4Ptr5wY
