Rules & Regulations

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a lifelong rider and the owner of this company, my dream is to offer a fleet of the latest Ducatis, BMW GS 1200s, and 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:

• Protecting Your Wallet: Other rental shops often require US$3,000–$5,000 deposits to cover the potential loss of a high-end bike's plate. We don't want to "scam" or 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 "collecting dust" for half a year. For a business that operates on online reservations made months in advance, we would then have to scramble to find a replacement bike for future guests, a logistical nightmare that compromises our service.

• Depreciation & Liability: A high-end motorcycle losing its plate for six months loses significant market value and rental income, which can exceed US$1,000 in fines alone, plus the loss of use.

Our Philosophy: We believe in "Freedom, not Babysitting." While we stress the local laws during our handovers and in our contracts, we cannot be with you on every mountain pass. By choosing reliable, high-quality but sensible motorcycles, we can keep our deposits low, our prices fair, and our business truly "foreign-friendly."

We choose bikes that offer the best balance of performance, reliability, and peace of mind for your journey across Taiwan.

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.

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!

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.

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

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
