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.

Rain Gear

Vietnam can experience sudden and heavy rain, particularly during the wet season and in the northern mountains. We do not normally provide a complete set of motorcycle rain jacket and trousers or ponchos, but rain gear is easy to purchase in Hanoi.

For most riders, a rain poncho is a practical option because it is inexpensive, widely available, and comes in sizes that are easier to fit over motorcycle clothing and luggage. It can also provide useful protection during sudden tropical downpours.

If you are joining a longer Vietnam motorbike tour, we recommend keeping your rain gear easily accessible rather than packed at the bottom of your luggage.
