ScootCoupe, 3 Wheel Car, or That Little Waikīkī Thing?
Before this page became “helpful visitor information,” there was a small editorial disagreement about what people actually call these things.
I handed in my copy:
Exactly — who the hell would refer to this as a “ScootCoupe” first? It’s a fu*king 3 wheeler car that doesn’t require you to be 21 to rent, while still letting you have a shit ton of fun discovering the island with your friends here in Hawaiʻi. Sure, the operator may ask you to tag #ScootCoupe, but the real rules are simple: do not drink and drive, remember it is technically a moped-style vehicle, respect other motorists, and respect the island first — your social media second.
My editor said we could print this:
And honestly, who actually searches for “ScootCoupe” first? Most visitors see one cruising through Waikīkī and think, “What is that little 3 wheel car?” That is exactly what this guide is here for. These bright open-air rides may be technically closer to a moped than a traditional rental car, but to most people they look and feel like a tiny 3 wheeler built for fun, photos, island air, and exploring Honolulu with a friend. Depending on the rental provider’s current rules, they may also be available to drivers under 21, which makes them a memorable option for visitors who want something different from a standard rental car. Always confirm age, license, deposit, insurance, safety rules, pricing, and availability directly with the operator before booking. And please: do not drink and drive, respect other motorists, respect the island first and your social media second, pull over safely for photos, and if your rental operator asks you to tag #ScootCoupe, go for it — just make sure the ride comes before the post.
After one phone call with my editor’s grandma, who apparently owns this website, this is what was agreed:
Nobody sees one of these things cruising past Waikīkī and says, “Ah yes, a ScootCoupe.” They say, “What the hell is that little 3 wheel car, and where do I get one?” And honestly, that is the whole point. It is weird, bright, ridiculous, fun, and somehow exactly what vacation was supposed to feel like before everyone started overthinking everything. Yes, the rental company may call it a ScootCoupe. Yes, they may ask you to tag #ScootCoupe. Fine. Tag them. But first, don’t drink and drive, don’t act like the road is your TikTok set, remember it is technically more moped than muscle car, respect the people driving around you, and respect Hawaiʻi before you respect your camera roll. Have fun. Be ridiculous. Just don’t be the reason someone adds another warning sticker.
