MOTORBIKE RENT IN HANOI

Looking for a professional motorbike rental in Hanoi? Offroad Vietnam has been providing motorbike rental and motorcycle touring services in Hanoi for many years, with a strong focus on quality, reliability, honest advice, and professional customer support. Our goal is not simply to offer the cheapest motorcycle in Hanoi, but to provide well-maintained bikes that are suitable for exploring Vietnam safely and comfortably.

Although many tourists choose to buy or rent inexpensive Chinese-copy Honda Win motorcycles, we have built our business by focusing on quality rather than the lowest price. Our rental fleet consists primarily of genuine Japanese Honda motorcycles, selected and maintained for touring and long-distance riding. We believe that a reliable motorcycle, proper maintenance, and responsive support are much more important than saving a small amount on the rental price.

At Vietnam Offroad, we compete on quality, not cheap prices. Our motorcycles are regularly serviced and maintained by experienced mechanics, and we provide technical support if you encounter a problem during your journey. This makes our Hanoi motorbike rental service a practical choice for riders planning to explore northern Vietnam, including mountain roads, remote villages, and longer motorcycle adventures.

We do not consider the Chinese-copy Honda Win 100cc a suitable touring motorcycle. While these bikes can be cheap and easy to find, they may cause reliability and maintenance problems on longer journeys. For more information about the differences and what you should know before renting one, please follow this link.

Our Current Touring Motorbikes

Based near Hanoi’s Old Quarter (3km away), the capital of Vietnam, Vietnam Offroad offers a wide selection of touring motorbikes for rent for your adventures on two wheels. Whether you are planning a short ride around Hanoi or a longer journey through the mountains and remote regions of Vietnam, we have different types and sizes of motorcycles to suit various riding styles and experience levels.

Best of all, all of our rental motorcycles are serviced and maintained by our own mechanics. We know our bikes inside and out, and regular maintenance helps ensure they are ready for the demanding roads and long distances involved in a Vietnam motorcycle adventure.

In fact, we have chosen to stick with one motorcycle brand: Honda. Honda has been a dominant name in Vietnam for generations and is so closely associated with motorcycles that, in everyday Vietnamese conversation, “Honda” is often used to mean motorcycle. With easy access to spare parts, experienced mechanics, and a strong reputation for reliability, Honda remains our preferred choice for motorbike rental in Hanoi and touring throughout Vietnam.

Motorbike Rent In Hanoi – Options & Advice

Below, we explain the different types of motorbikes available for rent from our Hanoi-based office. We put quality, safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction at the top of our priorities. Unlike some rental shops that compete mainly on price by offering old or poorly maintained motorcycles, we focus on providing well-serviced bikes that are suitable for touring and long-distance riding in Vietnam.

You may find cheaper motorbike rentals in Hanoi, but paying a little more for a properly maintained and reliable motorcycle can make a big difference to your trip. A good bike reduces the risk of mechanical problems, saves time dealing with unexpected repairs, and gives you greater confidence when riding through Vietnam’s mountain roads and remote countryside. In return for a slightly higher rental price, you get a motorcycle that is prepared for your adventure and backed by our professional support and maintenance service.

We believe that your time in Vietnam is more valuable than saving a small amount on a rental bike. Choose the right motorcycle, enjoy the ride, and spend your trip exploring Vietnam rather than worrying about your bike.

Off-road Motorbike Rent In Hanoi

Our Honda CRF250L and Honda CRF300L are dual-sport enduro motorcycles designed for experienced riders who want more power, better suspension, and stronger performance on mountain roads and off-road trails. They are particularly suitable for taller riders, generally around 1.70-2.00 metres, who feel more comfortable on a larger and taller motorcycle.

A dual-sport enduro bike is an excellent choice for exploring Northern Vietnam, especially if your itinerary includes mountain passes, rough tracks, rocky roads, and remote countryside. Compared with smaller road bikes, these motorcycles offer better ground clearance, longer-travel suspension, and a riding position that is well suited to challenging terrain.

The Honda CRF250L and CRF300L are among Honda’s modern small-displacement dual-sport models, combining practical road manners with genuine off-road capability. They provide the extra performance and suspension travel that experienced riders often want when tackling the more demanding roads around Ha Giang, Cao Bang, Ba Be, and Northeast Vietnam.

If you are an experienced rider looking for a high-quality off-road motorcycle rental in Hanoi, these Honda CRF models are an excellent choice for tackling Vietnam’s mountain roads and trails while still being comfortable enough for longer road sections.

The Honda XR150L is a major upgrade from the older Honda XL125 and XR125L models and is an excellent choice for riders looking for a practical and reliable dirt bike rental in Hanoi. It offers a good balance of performance, simplicity, and affordability. Compared with the Honda CRF250L, the XR150L is considerably more affordable, while its 150cc engine provides more useful performance than the CRF150L in our experience. Its carburettor engine is also relatively simple to maintain compared with modern fuel-injected systems, which can be an advantage when travelling through remote areas of Vietnam.

The Honda XR150L has a comfortable seat height that works well for a wide range of riders, generally from around 1.60 to 1.90 metres tall. All our XR150L rental bikes are equipped with both electric start and kick-start, giving you a reliable backup if the battery becomes weak. With its manageable weight, good ground clearance, durable design, and straightforward mechanics, the XR150L is an ideal dirt bike for exploring Vietnam, particularly on mountain roads and rougher rural routes.

In short, riders between approximately 1.60 and 1.80 metres who want a simple, reliable, and affordable trail bike will find the 2016-2020 Honda XR150L an excellent choice. It provides enough performance for challenging roads without the higher rental cost and larger size of the CRF250/300L, making it one of our most practical motorcycles for touring Vietnam.

Touring Motorcycle Hire In Hanoi

The Honda CGL125 2014 is an excellent choice for riders who want a simple, reliable, and comfortable road bike rental in Hanoi. With its straightforward design and proven Honda engineering, the CGL125 is particularly suitable for riders planning longer trips around Vietnam who do not need the extra power of a larger motorcycle. In our experience, it offers a much better touring platform than many under-125cc road bikes available for rent in Hanoi, especially for riders who value comfort, durability, and easy maintenance.

Another option in our fleet is the Honda Winner/Winner X 150cc, with models from 2016-2023. This underbone-style motorcycle provides considerably more power than the CGL125 and is a good choice for riders who want a more responsive and lively ride. Its 150cc engine makes it better suited to longer highway sections, hills, and riders who prefer stronger acceleration.

However, the Honda Winner 150 is not as comfortable for long-distance touring as the CGL125. Its underbone/scooter-style design and riding position are more focused on everyday road use and performance than relaxed touring. If comfort, simplicity, and reliability are your main priorities, the CGL125 is the better choice. If you prefer more power and a sportier riding experience, the Winner 150 is worth considering for your Vietnam motorcycle adventure.

Commuting Scooter Rental In Hanoi

Our scooters are ideal for expats living and working in Hanoi who need a reliable and convenient motorcycle for daily commuting. If you mainly ride around the city, travel to work, run errands, or take your family shopping at the weekend, a semi-automatic or fully automatic Honda scooter is often the most practical choice.

Our Hanoi scooter rental options include the Honda Lead 125cc, Honda Air Blade 150cc, Honda Vision 110cc, Honda Wave 110cc, and Honda Blade 110cc. These models are popular for everyday riding because they are easy to operate, economical, practical, and well-suited to Hanoi’s busy streets. Whether you prefer the convenience of a fully automatic scooter or the simplicity and fuel economy of a semi-automatic model, we have several options to choose from.

All our scooters are genuine Honda motorcycles, regularly serviced and maintained by our own mechanics. We understand that a reliable commuter is important when you live in Hanoi, so our rental scooters are prepared for dependable everyday use. We also provide a no-breakdown guarantee, giving you additional peace of mind while using the bike around Hanoi.

For expats looking for a reliable scooter rental in Hanoi, a Honda semi-automatic or automatic scooter is an excellent choice for daily transportation and weekend trips around the city.

50cc Motorbike Rent In Hanoi

Those who are concerned about having a legal motorcycle licence can consider renting a 50cc scooter in Hanoi. In Vietnam, 50cc motorcycles are a practical option for riders who do not have the appropriate licence for a larger motorcycle, subject to the applicable local rules and rider requirements. However, genuine Japanese Honda 50cc scooters are extremely expensive, with new models costing around $3,000 US, so we do not normally offer them for rental.

Instead, we can provide Taiwanese SYM models such as the SYM Elegant semi-automatic and SYM Elite automatic, as well as a Chinese copy of the Honda Giorno GN-50. Please note that 50cc scooter rental is not our official service, and we do not particularly recommend small-engine bikes for longer journeys. These 50cc scooters are only available upon request. Nevertheless, the bikes we provide are selected carefully, and their quality is fully guaranteed. They are among the better 50cc scooter options you can find for rental in Hanoi.

We have been providing motorbike rental in Hanoi since late 2006, giving us many years of experience in motorcycle rentals and touring throughout Vietnam. For more information about our Hanoi motorbike rental service, please follow this link.
