Charleroi surprises anyone who rolls through it: the Sambre greenway and the Charleroi-Brussels canal run flat and straight across a former coal country turned green. By e-scooter you string together the reforested slag heaps, now unexpected viewpoints, the Bois du Cazier and the canal reaches. By e-bike or e-unicycle the ride stretches out to the Eau d'Heure lakes or the villages of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse. WattAround tells you where to ride an e-scooter around Charleroi, factoring in your battery's real range and the climbs up the heaps, so you can explore without worrying about the way back.
