A low wind pushes across the open polder as the electric scooter hums to life beneath you — the road ahead a ribbon between canals, reed beds and windmills. In four to five hours this private ride threads small fishing ports and reclaimed land: Volendam’s harbor, Marken’s wooden houses, Edam’s market square, and the limestone lighthouse that watches the IJsselmeer.
