Two-Up Scooter Rental Bali: A Complete Guide for Visitors

Riding a two-up scooter is the most practical way for a couple or friends to explore Bali together, from the beaches of Canggu to the rice terraces of Ubud. Here is a short guide to what you need to prepare so the trip stays safe and comfortable.

Can you ride two-up in Bali?

In general, motorbikes in Indonesia may be ridden with one rider and one passenger. What matters is the capacity and condition of the bike, and the traffic rules enforced by the local police. Because rules and enforcement can change, always check the latest information with the police or your regional government.

Note: The rider must hold a valid motorcycle licence. Foreign visitors should carry their home-country licence together with an International Driving Permit (IDP) with the motorcycle category.

Basic requirements before riding two-up

• A valid motorcycle licence (SIM C, or your home licence plus an IDP for foreign visitors).
• Passport or ID card for identification at handover.
• A helmet for both riders. At SiapPergi, two helmets are included with every scooter rental.
• The rider must be at least 17 years old.

Choosing a scooter that suits two people

Not every scooter is ideal for two riders, especially if you carry large bags or climb roads up to Kintamani or Bedugul. Here is a short comparison from the SiapPergi catalogue:

For longer two-up trips, the 155–160 cc models usually feel more powerful when carrying extra weight. See the full range at scooter rental Bali or compare on the NMAX model page and the PCX model page.

Tips for riding safely two-up

1. Manage the load. Keep backpacks on the rider's back or in front, not hanging from the handlebars.
2. Slow down when cornering and when passing rough roads in the mountain areas.
3. Take a short break every hour of riding, especially on long routes such as Denpasar to Ubud or Kintamani.
4. Passenger handholds: hold the rider's waist or the rear grab handle, so you don't affect balance during sudden braking.
5. Check tyres and brakes before setting off. At SiapPergi, tyres, brakes, lights and oil are checked before every rental.

Recommended gear

• Rain jacket. Rain in Bali can arrive suddenly. Raincoats are available as an add-on (Rp25.000 for 2 pieces, or Rp15.000 for 1).
• Phone holder (Rp15.000) so navigation stays visible.
• Sunglasses or a head covering to protect against dust and heat.
• Waterproof bag for documents and your phone.

Areas that are comfortable to explore two-up

• Canggu and Seminyak beaches, with relatively flat and busy roads.
• Ubud, ideal for relaxed rides between rice fields and cafés.
• Jimbaran and Uluwatu, coastal roads with moderate hills.
