Where to Buy Electric Scooters in Northern Cyprus
In Northern Cyprus, electric scooters are most commonly purchased from electronics retail chains (Sharaf, Irismo) or second-hand via Telegram "flea markets." It is easier to navigate the range and prices through the stores' online catalogs: Xiaomi and Segway-Ninebot models regularly appear at Irismo and Sharaf, while second-hand offers are usually cheaper but require a careful condition check.
If you need to move quickly and over relatively short distances, an electric scooter is an excellent idea. Here is where to purchase such equipment in Northern Cyprus.
Actually, this is not the most popular product on the island, and you won't find specialized stores selling only electric scooters. That is why people on forums often ask how to bring a scooter with them to the island. However, they are sold in some electronics stores; here are the addresses and contacts.

How to do it
- Determine the scenario: a new scooter with a warranty (stores) or a used one (Marketplace/Telegram).
- If buying used, check the battery (how it holds a charge), play/looseness, brakes, tires, and the presence of a charger.
- Before paying, ask for a short test ride and check how the scooter accelerates/brakes and whether it displays any errors.
- If buying new, clarify the warranty terms and where to go for service.
If you need to get to a store quickly (for example, in Girne or Nicosia), it is sometimes more convenient to book a transfer in advance: KiwiTaxi. If you plan to visit several sales points in one day, you can look at local car rental offers on Localrent.
Before purchasing, it is also useful to check the current restrictions and requirements for using electric scooters in Northern Cyprus to understand where you can ride and what conditions may be inspected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to bring an electric scooter from the southern part of the island?
Yes, it is possible. If you do not have the opportunity to cross the border, you can arrange with someone on the forum who provides such services. Alternatively, you can book and pay in an online store in advance, and a person with access to the southern part can check it and bring it to you.
Is it possible to bring an electric scooter from Turkey to Northern Cyprus?
Yes, but you need to check the airline's rules for transporting batteries: scooters are usually not accepted as 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 details about routes and tickets: how to get to Northern Cyprus by ferry.
