This summer, discover Groningen with one of our road trips. Routes that take you off the beaten track, on an adventure along those little special gems of which Groningen has so many. Because we naturally want to take good care of Groningen's nature, we have listed a number of sustainable means of transport for you. So you can make your road trip even greener. Lucky you in Groningen.
Electric car
Of course, the most obvious sustainable option for your road trip is an electric car. This way of driving has become increasingly popular in recent years: the cars are user-friendly, can cover ever greater distances and charging points are popping up like mushrooms. Have you always wanted to try out an electric car? Then try using a shared car or rent one; there are plenty of places in the city and the surrounding area where you can do so. The advantage of a shared car is that you only pay for the moment you use it, which is ideal. They can be found near various hubs, where you can easily stap to other sustainable modes of transport.
E-bike
The days when e-bikes were only for the over-sixties are well and truly over. Especially now that trendier models, such as the e-fat bike, are coming onto the market. On such a bike, everyone looks at you. With most e-bikes nowadays, you can also travel longer distances, in which case a little support is certainly not wrong. Do you want to do the whole road trip on an e-bike? Note: if you decide to take a road trip by bike, you should check carefully whether you are allowed to ride on all roads. Often there is a cycle path next to the road. Or you may have to make a small detour, just off the beaten track.
Electric scooter
Fancy touring the Groningen countryside with your hair blowing in the wind, without having to put in too much effort? Then opt for an electric scooter. The action radius of the battery is often slightly lower than with an electric car or bike, so check this before you leave. Scooters are also not allowed on all roads. Are you following one of the road trips? Then get off the beaten track every now and then, as you will discover even more.
E-chopper
If you thought you already looked flashy on a normal scooter, you haven't yet discovered the e-chopper. With this cool scooter, you will attract a lot of attention. They are not only cool because of their looks, but also because they contribute to a better environment. You accelerate firmly and then explore the road smoothly and silently. Wonderfully relaxed, you steer the electrically powered chopper through the beautiful landscapes Groningen has to offer. For long or short rides. Who will you soon be touring the province with on an e-chopper?
Electric campervan
There is so much to see on your road trip that you can easily make a weekend of it. Driving around and staying overnight is sustainable with an electric campervan. With this little house on wheels, you have all the time to discover special places along the route and in the evening you park the camper at a nice campsite nearby. The next day, you can pick up where you left off at leisure. And there are plenty of great electric campervans out there. How about electric retro volkswagen vans, for example?
