3 - Tips for renting motorbike in Hanoi
Source: Hong Do
Paperwork: passport + valid motorbike driver's license + deposit (depending on the required location). With only about 5 minutes of check-in, you have a motorbike to enjoy your travel.
Choose a motorbike for your preference: If you just go around in the city, you can choose 110cc or 125cc scooters because they are compact, easy to control, and low on gas. When traveling long distances, you should choose a car with a motorcycle clutch lever, or a manual transmission 125cc or more whose speed is faster and durable.
Check the vehicle
- Normally, you should check the steering wheel, brake handle, tire, horn, headlamps, indicators, mirrors, etc., to see if everything is working properly.
- Tires should not be too worn out and still have enough friction
- Check the front brake, rear brake and powerful engines (should be tested with the velocity of 60-70k/h).
In short, Hanoi motorbike rental costs not so much but definitely a great experience if you can drive in and around our beautiful capital by scooter. Above are all the motorcycle rentals in Hanoi that you should know. Hopefully the article will broaden your choices during your trip.
