The Bike & Customer Support

We offer new and near-new bikes. All of them are perfect-condition and regularly maintained to ensure the quality for riding.

  • Immediate check after collecting from customers
  • Re-check before delivering to new customers
  • Weekly maintenance

Our bikes always come with handy accessories helping you have a smooth and safe riding:

  • High-quality helmets with visor (each bike comes with 3-4 different size helmets, so you can choose which ones fitting your head)
  • Mobile phone holder (attaching mobile phone for navigation with Google Maps or Maps.Me)
  • Medical first aid kits in case of accident (our customers oten use medical to help other people on the way)
  • Emergency mobile phone for emergency call (especially in case your phone is unavailable in Vietnam)
  • A very helpful email for a list of interesting attractions in and around Hoi An (with Google Maps links for the best route to My Son, Ba Na Hills, Countryside, hidden beaches, list of gas stations,…)

In addition, we offer other accessories for extra rental: biker camera, top-box, elbow & knee guard pads

No. Unlike other bike shops in Vietnam that bring you bikes with almost empty tanks, we bring you bikes with absolutely full tank. Just get the bikes and go. You do not have to find a gas station.

When you return the bikes, you can choose to fill the tanks up or pay for the difference (fuel you would use). In case you will not fill the tanks, you will be charged even cheaper than any gas station. Pay for the difference is recommended. We would like to make sure no overcharge or scam happened with you at the gas station.

Well, it will be an unexpected case. You and we don’t want any issue to happen on the way, but it may happen. In that case, we are always ready to assist you. Please catch us via any contact as below:

Tips for Riding in Hoi An

By law, you need it. Everybody needs to have a driving license for riding >50cc scooter/motorbike in Vietnam. But police in Hoi An and surroundings (Da Nang, My Son, Hai Van Pass,…) almost never stop foreign travelers. So no worries about this.

The most important tip is to always ride the bike slowly and carefully. In addition, you should put these tips into your mind:

  • Always wear helmets for your safety
  • Ride at the right side
  • Not be afraid of pushing the horn
  • Don’t ride your bike back when intoxicated, instead, take a taxi. In case of being drunk, call us for support of bringing the bike back to your hotel
  • Be extra careful when passing or turning at the crossroads (even at the crossroads with traffic lights because there might be people running red lights)
  • Avoid the highway as much as possible. Search Google Maps for village roads that are much more safe and beautiful

Hoi An is not a very crowded city and has quite good traffic. Therefore, it’s safe and convenient to ride scooters here. Of course, you also need to be mindful when riding on the road. Safety first!

Almost never. It sometimes happens, but rarely. You rarely see them along the way in Hoi An and surroundings. But you have to ride slowly and carefully for your and others’ safety. It is a must.
