Why maxi scooters feel better
- Roomier seat and space to stretch your legs on the floorboard.
- More power (155–160 cc) to climb to Ubud, Kintamani and Uluwatu with a passenger.
- Bigger brakes and wheels, so the scooter feels more stable when loaded.
- The ADV 160 adds taller suspension and ABS for rougher roads.
Riding two-up with a combined load on the heavier side? Choose 155–160 cc and avoid the steepest back roads. Read climbs and descents.
Helmets that fit
Ask for larger helmet sizes when you book. A helmet should feel snug without pressure points, and the chin strap must close. See helmet guide for Bali scooters.
How booking works
- Pick a scooter in the catalogue (or tell us your height, route and how many riders and we'll suggest one).
- Send your dates, the hotel or villa name with a Google Maps pin, and your WhatsApp number.
- The admin confirms the bike, the total price and the delivery time — no payment yet.
- The scooter arrives with 2 helmets. Check it together, show your passport and licence, then pay in full (bank transfer or e-wallet).
Book on WhatsApp or via the Bali scooter rental catalogue: the bike is delivered to your hotel or villa and you pay when it arrives.
