take a spin
Go for joyride
To take a spin is to go for a short, casual ride—typically in a car, on a motorcycle, or on a bicycle: Want to take a spin in my new convertible?
The phrase suggests pleasure rather than necessity, a quick jaunt rather than a purposeful trip.
By extension, to take something for a spin is to try it out: I downloaded the app to take it for a spin.
