A glide through Bucharest begins at a low hum — a city of broad boulevards, tight medieval alleys and the slow flow of the Dâmbovița River. Riders mount compact Smart Balance electric scooters and move from the open light of Unirii Square into the shadowed courtyards of Lipscani, where cobbles change pace and the guide’s stories unspool between carved doorways.
