SAFETY MOTORBIKE RIDING GEAR RENTAL IN HANOI
Motorbike Vietnam is a small motorcycle shop serving riders in Hanoi. This page provides information about our motorbike riding gear rental in Hanoi, designed to help you ride more safely and comfortably during your Vietnam motorcycle adventure.
Our off-road motorbike and scooter rental service started in late 2006. We currently offer Japanese Honda motorcycles from 125cc to 250cc, suitable for exploring Vietnam’s busy roads, mountain routes, and countryside backroads.
In addition to motorcycle rentals in Hanoi, you can also hire protective riding gear from us for your guided or self-guided motorbike tour. Whether you are planning a short ride around Hanoi or a longer Vietnam off-road motorcycle tour, having suitable protective equipment is strongly recommended.
Price Of Safety Riding Gear Rental
For your personal safety and riding comfort, we offer a basic set of motorbike safety riding gear for US $5/day/person. We do not provide personal medical insurance, and insurance coverage can depend on your driving licence and the terms of your policy, so we strongly recommend arranging suitable travel insurance before your trip.
In Vietnam, wearing a helmet while riding a motorbike, motorcycle, or scooter is compulsory. We also recommend using gloves, protective clothing, and appropriate footwear, particularly when riding on mountain roads or off-road tracks.

Motorbiking Clothes For Winter
During the cooler months, we recommend wearing a motorcycle jacket and riding pants, or at least using elbow and knee protection pads. Besides providing protection in the event of a fall, proper motorcycle clothing also helps keep you warm when riding through the mountains.
We use Vietnam-made motorcycle jackets and trousers fitted with CE-rated protective inserts. Depending on availability, our riding gear includes brands such as IXS, Richard, RS Taichi, Held, Mtech, Halvarssons, Vanucci, Macna, Cycle Spirit, Jofana, and Levior.
Sizes and models are limited, so if you have your own riding gear that fits you well, we recommend bringing it with you.
Motorbiking Knee And Elbow Pads For Summer
When temperatures are high, full motorcycle jackets and trousers can feel uncomfortable, especially when riding at low speeds. For hot weather, we provide Scoyco knee and elbow protection pads as a lighter alternative.
If you use protective pads, we recommend wearing long trousers and long-sleeved shirts underneath them. This combination provides better coverage and comfort while keeping you cooler than a full riding suit.
However, please remember that knee and elbow pads do not provide the same level of protection as a full motorcycle jacket and protective riding pants. For longer trips and more demanding off-road riding, full protective gear remains our preferred option.
Gloves
We offer several types of motorcycle riding gloves, including full-size Knighthood, Pro Biker, and Scoyco synthetic gloves, as well as fingerless leather gloves.
Gloves are particularly important for protecting your hands from abrasions, weather, and debris. They also provide additional grip and comfort during long days of motorbike riding in Vietnam.
As with all rental equipment, availability and sizes can vary, so riders with unusually large or small hands may prefer to bring their own gloves.
Helmet
Our Hanoi shop offers a selection of imported and quality motorcycle helmets, including brands such as CQF Chevignon, HSL, and Arai. We also have Korean-made HJC helmets, which are popular with motorcycle riders around the world.
Please note that helmet sizes and styles are limited in Vietnam. If you already own a properly fitted helmet that you are comfortable wearing for several hours a day, we recommend bringing it with you.
A correctly fitting helmet is one of the most important pieces of motorbike safety gear, especially when you are spending several days riding through Vietnam.

Hi, do you also have clothes and helmets for sell? If not, can you advise another shop? Thank you!
Dear David. We do have clothes (70$US for each armoured jacket or pants) and large Protect brand 3/4 helmets for sale (40$US). If you want a better quality, there are some shops on Pho Hue in Hanoi for 50-500$US each helmets depending on brand.
