Big bikes need a 1968 IDP — Kai checks first, and always finds you a legal ride.

The fleet

A different class of ride in Hanoi

Sport bikes, adventure machines and premium tourers — the bikes most rental shops here simply don't have — alongside a licence-free electric for riders whose licence Vietnam doesn't recognise. Every price is all-inclusive: helmets, delivery and 24/7 support.

Browse them all — Kai matches you to the ones you can legally ride on your licence.

Where you'll ride

City chaos, then the open north

Hanoi is a small nimble-scooter city — but it's also the launchpad for the most famous rides in Vietnam.

Each “best on” pick assumes you hold the matching licence — Kai confirms what you can legally ride before anything is booked, and always has a legal option for you.

A relaxed loop of the city's biggest lake — cafés, temples and the evening light.

Gateway to the North

Mai Chau, the Ha Giang Loop, Cao Bang — Hanoi is where the great northern routes begin.

Plan this ride with Kai

In the Old Quarter you want something small, light and automatic — a Vision or Air Blade — not a big bike. If you're launching a northern loop, that's a manual or adventure bike and a genuinely valid 1968 IDP; Kai will tell you straight if your permit doesn't qualify rather than wave you off into the mountains illegally.
