The City That Invented the Car — Reimagined

Los Angeles is synonymous with car culture, but it's also the city leading America's electric vehicle transition. Tesla's footprint is everywhere, charging stations outnumber gas stations in many neighborhoods, and a growing network of protected bike infrastructure is finally making it possible to move through LA without four wheels and a tank of gas.

Santa Monica and Venice Beach are ground zero for electric micro-mobility in LA. The beach path between Marina del Rey and Malibu is one of the great recreational corridors in America — flat, ocean-adjacent, and easily covered on an e-bike or electric scooter without breaking a sweat. Tours of the Hollywood Hills on electric GoCars give you the canyon roads and panoramic views without the noise.

The waterways of Marina del Rey and Huntington Harbor are increasingly serviced by electric boat rentals and guided tours — quiet enough that you can actually hold a conversation while watching pelicans. From Malibu to Long Beach, LA's coastline and hillsides are ready for zero-emission exploration.

Common Questions About Los Angeles

Tours that leave nothing behind but memories.
We currently feature 17 zero-emission tours in Los Angeles covering the Hollywood Hills, Sunset Strip, and Beverly Hills by electric vehicle. GoCar guided tours are particularly popular — the self-drive format gives you complete control over stops and pacing. Electric pedicab tours of Hollywood and the Fairfax District offer a more local perspective. Santa Monica and Venice Beach are best covered by e-bike along the beach path.
Yes. Marina del Rey has several electric boat rental operators, with options ranging from solar-assisted pontoons to electric speed boats for up to 8 passengers. Long Beach's Alamitos Bay and Naples Island canal system are popular electric boat touring areas. No boating license is required for most electric rental boats — operators brief you before departure.
An e-bike along the Pacific Coast Highway is the gold standard. The stretch from Santa Monica to Malibu is one of the most scenic bike rides in America — ocean on one side, cliffs on the other, with dedicated bike lanes for much of the route. Guided e-bike tours typically include stops at points of interest (the Getty Villa, Malibu Pier, Surfrider Beach). E-bike rentals are also available for independent exploration.
Los Angeles has specific regulations around electric scooters (dockless e-scooters) that vary by neighborhood. On designated bike paths and lanes, class 2 e-bikes are permitted. For touring, e-bikes are more reliable than dockless scooters for planning a route — you pick up and return from the same location. Guided e-bike tours handle all of this for you and include safety training.
