Where to Buy Electric Scooters in Northern Cyprus

In Northern Cyprus, electric scooters are most often bought at electronics chain stores (Sharaf, Irismo) or second-hand via the Telegram “flea market.” In terms of selection and prices, it is easier to browse store online catalogs: Irismo and Sharaf regularly have Xiaomi and Segway-Ninebot models, while second-hand offers are usually cheaper but require a careful check of condition.

If you need to get around fairly quickly and not too far, an electric scooter is a great idea. Here we explain where to buy one in Northern Cyprus.

How to do it

1. Decide on the scenario: a new scooter with warranty (stores) or a used one (Marketplace/Telegram).
2. If you are buying used, check the battery (how well it holds a charge), play in the joints, brakes, tires, and the presence of a charger.
3. Before paying, ask for a short test ride and check how the scooter accelerates/brakes and whether it shows any errors.
4. If you are buying new, clarify the warranty and where to go for service.

If you need to get to the store quickly (for example, in Kyrenia or Nicosia), it can sometimes be more convenient to book a transfer in advance: KiwiTaxi. If you plan to visit several sales points in one day, you can check local car rental offers on Localrent.

Before buying, it is also useful to check the current restrictions and requirements for using electric scooters in Northern Cyprus so you understand where you can ride and what conditions may be checked.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring an electric scooter from the southern part of the island?

Yes, you can. If you do not have the opportunity to cross the border, you can arrange with someone on the forum who provides such services. Another option is to reserve one in an online store and pay in advance, and a person with access to the southern part can check it for you and bring it over.

Can I bring an electric scooter from Turkey to Northern Cyprus?

Yes, but you need to check the airline’s rules for carrying batteries: scooters are usually not accepted in checked baggage, and depending on the battery capacity, they may not be allowed in the cabin either. A more practical option is to bring the scooter by ferry. More about routes and tickets: how to get to Northern Cyprus by ferry.
