What I Learned Riding an Electric Motorbike in Bali (Hint: Don’t Buy Eggs)

Loading video player...

We swapped our usual scooter for an electric motorbike from E-Spot this week — and honestly? It was fun, quiet, and super zippy. Gliding through Bali traffic without the usual engine noise felt kind of surreal… and way more relaxing. BUT… here’s what I learned the hard way: When you decide to “just quickly pop to the shops” on an e-bike, don’t do a full grocery haul. Let’s just say there’s not a whole lot of storage space for bags — and balancing eggs on your lap is a skill I do not recommend testing. 😂 Would I ride one again? Absolutely. Would I take it to do a week’s worth of shopping? Never again. Lesson learnt. You can actually find @espotbali inside the Bali Family Finds app — and if you’ve got a BFF Pass, you’ll score a discount on your ride. 🌴 Have you tried an electric bike in Bali yet? 📍 Save this for when you’re planning your next trip! #BaliTravelTips #BaliFamilyFinds #BaliLife #BaliVibes #BaliTrip

This week, we decided to trade in our trusty gas scooter for something a little greener—and quieter. We rented an electric motorbike from E-Spot, and honestly? Total game-changer. Zipping through Bali’s buzzing streets in near silence felt almost dreamlike. No engine rumble, no exhaust fumes—just smooth, stress-free cruising. It’s a vibe. Eco-conscious exploring with a side of zen? Sign us up. But here’s the thing they don’t tell you in the brochures: space is limited. Like, really limited. So when I thought, "Oh, I’ll just pop to the shop real quick," I didn’t anticipate leaving with a full grocery haul… including eggs. Balancing those on the ride home? Let’s just say my thighs are still sore from clamping that carton into place. Lesson learned: e-bikes are perfect for café runs or quick beach trips. Maybe not your weekly market adventure. That said, would I rent one again? Absolutely. It's a fantastic option for families trying to reduce their carbon footprint while adventuring around Bali. Just pack light and leave the fragile groceries at home! If you're planning your Bali trip, you can book your own ride from @espotbali right from the Bali Family Finds app. And if you’ve got the BFF Pass, there's a sweet discount waiting for you too. Thinking about trying it yourself? Save this tip for later—and maybe leave the eggs for delivery. 😅 #BaliTravelTips #BaliFamilyFinds #BaliLife #BaliTrip #EcoTravel #ElectricScooterBali #BaliWithKids
