Imagine you are visiting the Arrabida Mountain in a electric moto or take a ride on a Electric Skateboard. In Setúbal it is possible through BiGPlanet , a company with two years located in the center of the city.

These electric skateboards work with a remote control assisted by an integrated braking system. With a word design and electric propulsion, take 3-4 hours to charge the battery (depending of the model).

There is four different products, that have a different range and speed, which can vary from 13 km to 25 km autonomy and from 15 km/h at 30 kms/h in terms of speed. You can have a different afternoon, during your vacations.

I know I'm in good company here, cauz I too adore Portugal! My husband and I lead a photo tour there last June and will go again in October--this time to explore the Douro Valley and the north. Can't wait!

Portugal has the friendliest people, and some of the most amazing architecture. I also enjoyed seeing some of the important cultural events--like the candellit procession at Fatima, the Agricutural Festival in Santarem and the bullfighting and courageous forcados! I recently posted a couple photo essays on both the bullfighting and Portuguese art and architecture on our blog UniqueTravelPhoto.com. I think Tomar's Convento de Cristo was my favorite architectural gem. What's yours?
