Zone outlines from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

Beach towns and traffic. 110–125cc is plenty.

City riding, airport runs, ferry to the Nusas.

Narrow lanes around Ubud, short steep climbs.

Long empty roads. Take 150cc and check fuel stops.

Coastal cruising, few rentals — book before you arrive.

Dive trips with gear — go for a bigger seat.

Cold mornings and 15% gradients. 150cc minimum.

Broken roads and brutal hills. Book on-island delivery.

Which scooter do you need?

Pick the trip you are actually doing. The wrong engine size is the most common — and most expensive — mistake.

City hopping

Cafés, beach, warung, repeat

Short distances, heavy traffic, tight parking. Light beats powerful.

What travellers say

“Delivered to our hotel in Canggu an hour after booking. Nobody asked for my passport, which is exactly why I booked here.”

Tom · Australia · Diving trip, 10 days

★★★★☆
“Paid 30% less for a month than the shop below my co-working. Same NMAX, and I got a written contract this time.”

Questions before you ride

Legally yes: Indonesian police can ask for an IDP with the A (motorcycle) category plus your home licence. Without it you risk a fine at a checkpoint and, more importantly, your travel insurance may refuse to cover an accident. Get the IDP before you fly — it takes minutes at home and cannot be issued in Bali.

It takes about half a day. Traffic is slow, everyone overtakes on both sides and horns mean “I’m here”, not anger. Start with quiet roads around your hotel before Denpasar or the Canggu shortcut, and keep left at roundabouts.

You give your hotel or villa address at booking. The rental brings the scooter, two helmets and the papers to the door at the time you choose, and does a photo condition report with you. Delivery is free across South Bali, Ubud, Sanur and the Nusa Islands.

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before delivery, refunded to the card you paid with. Shortening or extending a booking is done in one message and the weekly or monthly discount is recalculated automatically.

Every booking starts with a timestamped photo report, so pre-existing scratches are never charged to you. With the 50,000 IDR/day protection your liability is capped at 1,500,000 IDR whatever the repair costs. Without it you pay the real repair invoice, which is why we recommend it for long trips.

By card online, in EUR, USD, AUD or IDR — the rate is locked when you book. No cash handover, no deposit, no card imprint left at a shop counter.

Your scooter is waiting at the hotel when you land

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. No deposit, no passport, no cash.
