We operate strictly by appointment only. We do not maintain a traditional walk-in storefront because we prefer to focus on a personalized, one-on-one experience for our riders.

As a fellow rider who values the freedom of the open road, our owner is often out exploring the same way we want you to be! To ensure someone is available to assist you and that your chosen vehicle is prepped and ready, please make a reservation online or message us to schedule an appointment.

• Same-Day Rentals: If you need a scooter or motorcycle today, please contact us first. We will let you know which models are currently available and coordinate a time to meet you.

While all rentals include mandatory third-party liability and medical insurance as required by Taiwan law, please be aware that this does not cover damages to the scooter/motorcycle itself; any repair costs remain the responsibility of the renter. It is important to note that local insurance companies in Taiwan typically do not offer comprehensive damage coverage to visitors unless they hold a local residence permit and a Taiwanese driver's license. For your peace of mind, we strongly recommend purchasing a travel insurance policy from your home country that specifically covers rental vehicle damages before your trip.

We provide complimentary full-face and 3/4-face helmets with every rental. To ensure your safety and comfort, please specify your helmet size during the booking process so we can prepare one that fits you perfectly. While our helmets are safe and functional, we do not replace visors frequently; for maximum comfort on long-distance trips, you may still prefer to bring your own

No, there are no distance limits for any of our scooters or motorcycles. We are one of the few heavy motorcycle rental companies that do not impose mileage caps. As a dedicated rider and avid global traveler, our founder believes that putting a cap on your distance is like putting a cap on your freedom. We want you to explore every corner of Taiwan, from the coastal highways to the high mountain passes, without ever having to watch the odometer.

Yes, all scooters come with a mobile phone mount (supporting phones up to 6 inches). Smaller scooters may require a power bank as they do not have charging ports.

While cash is the preferred method for paying the remaining balance, we do accept online card payments via PayPal. Please note that a 5% processing fee applies to all card transactions.

Yes, you can. A typical round-the-island trip covers approximately 1,200 km to 1,400 km. Please let us know your planned route, your height/weight/storage, and whether you will be riding with a passenger (pillion). This helps us recommend the scooter or motorcycle that best fits your needs.

Yes, our rental plans are flexible! You can find our standard 1-30 day pricing in the 'Rental Prices' section of our website. If you are planning a rental for longer than a month, please message us directly, we would be happy to create a customized quote tailored to your specific needs.

Most traffic violations in Taiwan take 3-4 weeks to be processed and uploaded to the system, which is why we hold security deposits for one month following your rental.

• Standard Violations: For common infractions such as speeding under 40 km/h over the limit, making illegal turns, or failing to use indicator lights, we will notify you with the official evidence, including a photograph of the incident, the location, the time, and the recorded speed.

• Delays in Processing: Please be aware that during long public holidays or in cases of violations in remote locations (such as being reported for riding on restricted roads where motorcycles are not permitted), the police may take more than a month to verify and issue the ticket. While this is a rare scenario, you remain liable for the fine even if your deposit has already been refunded.

• Processing Fee: A 10% administrative fee applies to all fines to cover the labor required to process the ticket, collection efforts, and any associated online transaction costs.

• Serious Offenses: If you exceed the speed limit by 40 km/h or more, this is classified as "dangerous driving" under Taiwan law. This typically results in an immediate 6-month license plate suspension. In such cases, your deposit will be forfeited, and you will be held liable for the loss of rental income and any parking or storage charges incurred while the vehicle is out of service.

While we prioritize maintenance above all else, no vehicle, not even an airplane is 100% foolproof. We believe in being fair and transparent about how we handle mechanical issues:

• Minor Repairs: If a repair can be completed on the same day at a local shop, please contact us first. We will reimburse you for the repair costs when you return the vehicle.

• Major Issues (Outside Taipei): If the vehicle cannot be repaired quickly, we will coordinate with a nearby motorcycle shop or recovery service to assist you. If scarcity of parts or a remote location makes a same-day fix impossible, we will provide a full refund for your remaining rental balance.

• Issues Within Taipei: If you are near Taipei, we will simply provide you with an alternative vehicle from our available fleet so you can continue your journey without delay.

• Our Commitment: We will do our absolute best to get you back on the road as quickly as possible, regardless of where you are in Taiwan.

While most of our scooter/Motorcycle fleet uses 92 Octane gasoline, there are specific requirements for our high-performance models:

• Yamaha FZ1 & T-Max: For these models, 95 or 98 Octane (RON) unleaded gasoline is required. Because these are high-performance engines with high compression ratios, using a higher octane ensures proper anti-knock performance, prevents engine damage, and optimizes power delivery.

• All Other Scooters: 92 Octane is the standard.

Our rental rates are calculated based on more than just engine size. We consider several factors to ensure you are riding a safe, premium, and well-maintained vehicle:

• Maintenance & Consumables: High-performance motorcycles require high-quality tires, chains, and sprockets. These parts wear faster and cost significantly more to maintain than those on standard commuter scooters.

• Import & Tax Costs: In Taiwan, almost all motorcycles over 250cc are imported. This means higher initial purchase taxes, as well as expensive import duties and long waiting times for genuine replacement parts.

• The "Local" Exception: A bike like the Kymco Xciting 300 is made here in Taiwan, which allows us to offer it at a more competitive rate due to easier parts availability and lower tax brackets compared to imported models like the Yamaha FZ1 or T-Max.

   

• Accessories & Preparation: Our bikes come equipped with touring accessories (like storage cases) and undergo a rigorous cleaning and safety inspection process before every rental.

• Skilled Labor: Maintaining high-end engines requires specialized mechanical skill, which we invest in to ensure your "freedom" on the road is never interrupted by a mechanical failure.

Yes, our prices are 100% fixed and transparent. Unlike many rental shops in Taiwan that lure customers in with a low "base rate" only to add mileage charges, insurance surcharges, or hidden fees later, we believe in honest pricing.

• No Per-Kilometer Fees: The price you see is the price you pay, regardless of how far you ride.

• No Hidden Surcharges: We take pride in being upfront about every cost from the moment you book.

• Real-Time Support: We don't believe in keeping our customers guessing. If you have any questions about our rates or policies, please message us on WhatsApp, we respond immediately to ensure you have all the information you need before you arrive.

We strive to make Taiwan a welcoming and "foreign-friendly" destination for riders, despite the risks involved. In return, we ask for total honesty. If an incident occurs, whether it’s a tip-over in a parking lot or a scratch on a fairing, please don't leave us guessing.

In the Event of an Accident:

1. Safety First: If you are involved in a collision with another party, call the police immediately. Do not leave the scene. A police report is the only way to legally determine the percentage of fault for each person involved.

2. Document Everything: Please take clear photos and videos of the vehicle and the scene to avoid any future disputes.

Damage & Repair Policy:

• Commuter Scooters (125cc-200cc): If the damage is minor, you can get a repair quote from any local shop and pay that amount upon return. If you have the time to have it fixed yourself before returning it, we are more than happy to support that, as it saves our time.

• Heavy Motorcycles (250cc+): For imported models (excluding the Kymco Xciting 300), you will be responsible for the cost of genuine parts as listed online. You will also be liable for the "Loss of Use" (daily rental rate) for the duration the bike is out of service.

• Severe Damage: If the vehicle is beyond repair (e.g., a bent frame), you will be responsible for the current market value of the bike based on its year, mileage, and condition.

Our Approach: We want to be fair. If you are honest with us, we will work with you to find the most cost-effective and transparent way to resolve the issue. We aren't here to overcharge you; we just need to ensure our fleet remains safe for the next rider.

To keep your journey legal and ensure your insurance is valid, we require the following:

• For Scooters (under 250cc): A valid local motorcycle license or an International Driving Permit (IDP) with the "A" (Motorcycle) box stamped.

• For Heavy Motorcycles (250cc+): You must have a Large Heavy Motorcycle license from your home country and an IDP with the "A" box stamped.

• Note: In Taiwan, a standard car license is not valid for operating a motorcycle. Riding without the correct license class is a serious violation and will void all insurance coverage in the event of an accident.

Taiwan has unique rules for turning left that depend on the color of your license plate:

• White Plates (Under 250cc): You generally cannot turn left directly at major intersections. You must follow the "Two-Stage Left Turn" (Hook Turn) rule: enter the white marked box on the right-hand side of the intersection and wait for the light to change.

• Yellow/Red Plates (250cc+): You are treated like a car. You must turn left from the left-turn lane. Do not use the scooter hook-turn box unless specifically marked for heavy bikes (which is rare).

Taiwan's road signs can be confusing for international travelers. Here is the simple breakdown:

• National Freeways (Green Plum Blossom Signs): These are strictly forbidden for all motorcycles, including 1000cc bikes. Entering a Freeway will result in a heavy fine and potential towing.

• Expressways (Red Shield Signs): These are open only to Yellow and Red plates (250cc+). White plate scooters are strictly prohibited from these routes.

• Provincial Roads (Blue Shield Signs): These are open to all vehicles.

Pro Tip: Look out for "禁行機車" (No Scooters) painted on the inner lanes of city roads. If you are on a White Plate scooter, you must stay in the outer lanes to avoid camera tickets.

No. In Taiwan, motorcycles do not pay road tolls. Tolls are only charged on National Freeways (Green Plum Blossom signs), and because motorcycles of all sizes are strictly prohibited from entering these highways, you will never encounter a toll booth or eTag charge. All Expressways (Red Shield signs) and provincial roads accessible to motorcycles are currently free to use.

As a lifelong rider and the owner of this company, my dream is to offer a fleet of high-performance machines. However, we have made a conscious choice to prioritize accessibility and fairness for our international guests over having the "latest and greatest."

The Reality of Taiwan’s Speeding Laws

In Taiwan, exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h or more results in an immediate 6-month license plate suspension. This presents a massive risk for a small, independent rental business:

• The Surveillance Trap: Taiwan has one of the highest densities of speed cameras in the world. From traditional radars to Average Speed Enforcement (ASE) zones that track your speed over several kilometers, there is virtually no place to safely use the power of a 1000cc+ machine.

   

• The Ticket Magnet: Statistically, high-performance bikes are the ones that lose their plates most often. It is incredibly frustrating to pay for a "superbike" only to find yourself constantly staring at your speedometer instead of the road.

• Protecting Your Wallet: Other shops often require US$3,000-$5,000 deposits to cover potential plate loss. We refuse to burden our riders with such massive upfront costs just to secure a reservation.

• Sustainability of Service: If a bike's plate is suspended, it sits in our garage for half a year. For a business built on online reservations made months in advance, this creates a logistical nightmare that compromises our service to future guests.

Taiwan is a rider’s paradise, but the terrain demands respect.

• Weather: Afternoon thunderstorms are very common in the mountains. Always pack a raincoat, even if the sun is out in Taipei.

• Road Conditions: Mountain roads can have fallen rocks, gravel, or "metal plates" (construction covers) that become extremely slippery when wet.

• Night Riding: We strongly advise against riding in remote mountain areas after dark. Many roads lack streetlights, and stray animals or sudden fog can make visibility near zero.

• Safety First: Ride at your own pace. The goal is to enjoy the scenery and return the bike (and yourself) in one piece!

Yes, the bikes in our photos are the actual vehicles in our rental fleet. However, there are slight differences depending on the model you choose:

• Heavy Motorcycles (250cc+): You will receive the exact motorcycle shown on our website. These are unique, high-performance machines, and the bike you see is the bike you will ride.

• Scooter Fleet (SMAX, Force, Axis 155, etc.): Because we maintain a large fleet of over 10 units for these popular models, the color may vary depending on availability. However, the model, engine specifications, and maintenance standards will be identical to what is displayed.

Our Guarantee: Regardless of the color, every vehicle is maintained to our highest safety standards. We take pride in the transparency of our fleet, what you book is what you get

No. Deposits must be paid online via our secure third-party platform, FunNow.

We hold the deposit for 30 days following the return of your scooter, as most traffic violations take 3-4 weeks to be processed and reported by the authorities. If a violation occurs, we will provide you with the fine details and a supporting photograph.

Important: Because FunNow does not support partial refunds, any outstanding violations must be settled separately before your full deposit can be released. If no violations are recorded, your deposit will be fully refunded 30 days from the date you return the scooter.

Yes, your deposit is completely secure. All deposits are handled exclusively by FunNow, our official third-party payment provider.

• Security & Privacy: To protect your data, I do not hold your deposit personally and never have access to your card details.

• Purpose: Deposits are held solely to cover potential traffic violations and are typically released one month (30 days) after your rental ends.

• What to do if there’s a delay: While delays are very rare, I am happy to contact FunNow on your behalf to investigate.

• Privacy Policy: Please note that due to strict privacy laws, FunNow cannot disclose your personal bank or refund details to me. If your bank requires specific tracking information to locate the funds, FunNow will email that information directly to you.

Please feel free to reach out to me or contact FunNow support directly if you have any concerns!

Generally, no. We do not offer one-way rentals or drop-offs in other cities.

However, in the event of a medical emergency or an accident, we may be able to assist. If an emergency drop-off is required, the following charges will apply:

• Transportation Fee: You must cover the cost of shipping the scooter back to our nearest store.

• Rental Loss Fee: A flat fee equivalent to 3 days of rental will be charged.

  • Note: This is because third-party transport companies typically take 3–7 days to deliver the vehicle back to Taipei.

Why this policy exists: As an online-based store, our bookings are scheduled back-to-back. If a scooter is not returned to Taipei on time, it causes the next customer to lose their reservation. We appreciate your understanding in keeping our schedule reliable for everyone.

Generally, Taiwan’s traffic systems are digital; police can verify that a vehicle belongs to a rental company simply by scanning the license plate. Cops typically only stop riders for specific reasons, such as traffic violations, routine DUI checkpoints, or suspicious activity.

For your safety and legal compliance, please carry your Passport and a valid Driver’s License (with an International Driving Permit) at all times. Having these ready ensures that any interaction with authorities is quick and stress-free.

Google Maps is highly reliable in Taiwan. However, since Taiwan has strict road restrictions based on engine displacement (cc), you must set up your app correctly to avoid heavy fines or dangerous situations.

For Scooters Below 250cc (White Plate)

• Use the "Motorcycle" mode: If your app supports it, select the two-wheeler icon (not the bicycle). This is the most accurate way to find scooter-legal routes.

• If you don't see the Motorcycle icon: This is common for users with app stores from countries that don't support this feature (like the US or UK). You must use the "Car" mode with specific settings:

  1. Enter your destination and tap Directions.

  2. Tap the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Route Options.

  4. Turn on "Avoid Highways" and "Avoid Tolls." This will keep you off the National Freeways (red shield signs), where scooters are strictly prohibited.

For Scooters/Motorcycles Above 250cc (Yellow or Red Plate)

• Use "Car" mode: These vehicles are legally treated like cars in many aspects and are allowed on Expressways (blue shield signs).

   

• Important Setting: You must still select "Avoid Tolls" in the route options.

• Why? While you can ride on Expressways, motorcycles are currently not allowed on National Freeways (flower signs), which are the only roads that charge tolls.

• Quick Tips for Navigation:
  Watch the Signs: If you see a blue circular sign with a scooter and a red slash, or the words 禁行機慢車 painted on the ground, do not enter that lane or road.

  One-Time Setting: Once you set "Avoid Highways," Google Maps will usually remember it for your next trip, but it is always good to double-check before you start riding.

Taiwan is extremely safe. Theft is exceptionally rare here; you will often see locals leave their helmets, groceries, and even keys on their scooters without issue.

• Lost Items: If you lose something valuable (like a wallet), it is very likely to be turned in to the nearest police station.

• Vehicle Theft: We have never had a vehicle stolen. Your biggest risk is not theft, but illegal parking.

• Towing & Fines: If you park illegally, the government-contracted towing companies may move your scooter to a storage lot. If your bike is missing, it was likely towed, not stolen. You will need to contact the police to locate it and pay a fine to get it back.

• Helmets: It is standard practice and completely safe to leave your helmet on the bike (usually hanging on the hook under the seat) in most scenarios.

Pro-Tip: You are far more likely to get a speeding ticket or a parking fine than to be a victim of theft. Always park in designated scooter parking boxes (white rectangles) to avoid any trouble!

The road conditions in Taiwan are excellent, even in remote areas. Whether you are riding through the center of Taipei or winding through the high-altitude mountain passes of Taroko or Alishan, you will find high-quality asphalt and clear signage.

Key Things to Know:

• Well-Maintained Infrastructure: Even in the most remote villages, roads are paved and regularly maintained. You will rarely encounter unpaved or "dirt" roads unless you are specifically looking for off-road trails.

• Reflective Markers & Lighting: Mountain roads are equipped with cat-eye reflectors and clear lane markings, making them much safer for riding than similar routes in other neighboring countries.

• Rapid Repairs: Because Taiwan is prone to heavy rain, the government is very fast at clearing landslides or repairing road damage.

A Note of Caution:

While the pavement is good, mountain weather can change rapidly. Fog and heavy rain can occur suddenly at high elevations. If you see signs for "Falling Rocks" (注意落石), avoid stopping in that specific area and keep moving steadily.

Your safety depends largely on your situational awareness and previous riding experience. While most Taiwanese drivers follow the law, the sheer density of traffic requires your full attention.

Key Safety Rules:

• Beware of Large Vehicles: Never stay directly behind or beside buses, blue cargo trucks, or large shipping containers. These vehicles have massive blind spots. In the mountains, they may take up more than one lane when turning; always give them a wide berth.

• Avoid Peak Hours: If you are in major cities like Taipei or Kaohsiung, try to stay off the road during rush hours (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM). The "scooter waterfalls" at bridges can be intense for beginners.

• Mountain Riding: On narrow mountain roads, large vehicles often cannot see you. Never attempt to pass a large truck on a curve. Wait for a straight, clear stretch, and use your horn or lights to signal your presence before passing.

• Predictive Riding: Assume that a car might turn or a pedestrian might step out without looking. Taiwanese road culture is fast-paced, so keeping a safe following distance is your best defense.

If you have experience riding in other Asian countries (like Vietnam or Thailand), you will find Taiwan’s traffic much more organized. If you are from a Western country where scooters are rare, we recommend practicing on quieter side streets before heading into the city center.

Pro-Tip: Watch out for "blue trucks" (local delivery trucks). They are known for being very fast and making sudden stops. Give them plenty of space!

Taiwan is known for its clean streets and high level of public discipline. To maintain this, the city uses an extensive surveillance system, and many vehicles are equipped with dashcams. Littering is taken very seriously here and can lead to heavy fines from the authorities.

• Please Do Not Litter: To avoid embarrassment and potential legal issues, please never throw items like beer cans, plastic bottles, or cigarette butts on the street.

• Where to find bins: Public trash cans can be hard to find on the sidewalk. We recommend taking your trash back to your hotel or using the bins located inside 7-Eleven or FamilyMart.

• A Note on Convenience Stores: You may use the small bins at 7-Eleven for snacks or drinks purchased there, but please do not dispose of large bags of household or travel garbage in these stores, as it is considered disrespectful and against their policy.

Our Request: We take great pride in hosting international guests and want to maintain a positive relationship with our local community. Please help us keep Taiwan beautiful by disposing of your waste responsibly.

Taipei is one of the rainiest cities in Taiwan. While other parts of the island might be sunny, it is very common for Taipei to have light to moderate rain. Please keep the following policies in mind:

• Our Operation: We operate strictly by prior appointment. Because we reserve the scooter and staff time specifically for you, we cannot predict or guarantee the weather for your booking.

• Standard Rain Policy: We do not offer refunds for last-minute cancellations due to rain in Taipei. We recommend checking the forecast 48 hours in advance and bringing or buying a high-quality poncho (available at any 7-Eleven).

• Severe Weather (Typhoons): During the summer months, Taiwan occasionally experiences typhoons. If the government issues a Land Typhoon Warning or officially suspends work/school for the day, we will provide a full refund for your reservation.

Important Note: Please do not put us or yourself in a difficult position by asking for a last-minute refund because of typical Taipei rain. We appreciate your understanding that as a small, appointment-based business, we must stick to our reservation schedule!

Yes! We highly recommend using the Aegis (神盾測速照相) app. It is a reliable, community-driven tool that provides voice alerts for fixed speed cameras, red-light cameras, and "average speed" enforcement zones.

• Download for Android: Google Play Store

• Download for iOS: Apple App Store

Important Things to Remember:

• Region Restrictions: Depending on your home country's App Store settings, you may not be able to see or download the app. If this happens, you may need to rely on the "Speed Limit" display on Google Maps.

• Signal Issues: The app requires a GPS signal to function. It will not work in long tunnels or deep mountain valleys where GPS reception is poor.

   

• Update Regularly: To detect the newest cameras, please ensure you update the app data before you start your ride.

• Not 100% Perfect: While Aegis is excellent, it may not detect mobile radar guns used by police at random checkpoints.

Pro-Tip: You can set the app to run in the background. It will play a voice alert over your music or navigation to warn you when a camera is approaching. Please ride safely and follow the posted speed limits!

We are happy to help! Please reach out to us via WhatsApp or Line. We are available to reply between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM (Taiwan Local Time).
