Tips for a safe and enjoyable ride
Riding a motorcycle gives you an unparalleled sense of freedom, but also requires focus and safety. Below, we've listed some tips to help you get the most out of your rented bike:
Dress correctly
Always wear a sturdy helmet that meets the European standards. On top of that, it is mandatory to wear a jacket and trousers that fully cover your arms and legs. You must also wear gloves that completely cover your hands. Sturdy footwear is another must. You are not allowed to ride a bike while wearing trainers or low shoes; your shoes or boots must reach above the ankle.
Plan your route

Know your motorcycle
Take your time to get familiar with the model you are hiring. Every bike rides slightly differently.
Avoid overloading your motorcycle
Use suitcases or a backpack, but be careful about taking too much weight, as this affects handling.
Respect the rules of the road
Logical, but crucial. Ride defensively and be extra alert in traffic.
