Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in Kigali City

Great service by Vincent and his team. Very well kitted motorbike (including a mount for a cellphone which was super handy for navigation). Vincent was quick to respond on whatsapp if we had any questions. This was a great way to explore Rwanda!

Today, I had an epic time cruising Kigali with Vincent on his motorbike tour. From navigating the city's bustling streets to the rugged countryside, Vincent's tour was nothing short of awesome. Riding alongside him added a thrilling edge to the experience, making it feel like a true adventure. With his local expertise and laid-back vibe, Vincent made every moment memorable. If you want to see Kigali in a whole new way, this tour is a must-do!

I did six days solo in Rwanda and rented a 250cc motorbike through Motorbiking Rwanda. Good price, motorbike worked good the whole trip on and off road. This motorbike was perfect. Glad I didn't rent anything bigger because you rarely need the extra power. The shop where you pick up the motorbike is a house in a neighborhood. A little unconventional but everything worked out fine for me. They even had riding gear to borrow.

Wow, Vincent who owns the motorcycle rental business is one of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met and went out of his way to make sure our tour was unforgettable with so many brilliant recommendations. I can’t thank you enough and we are already planning our next trip back. Thank you Vincent and team for an amazing, safe and beautiful experience, we will be back for sure. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Everything worked out perfectly fine - Scooter was in good condition and I got some advice on the most scenic routes around Kigali. Rental processes are smooth and well-oiled. I got my safety deposit back within 48 hours. Will come back when in Kigali and rent again.

My friend and I rent two 200 CC motorbikes from this company for a self-guided tour of one week in January 2024. Vincent has been extremely responsive from the day we discussed the booking details before arriving in Kigali. There was a battery issue with one of the motorbikes on our way out of Kigali. Mucyo delivered a replacement motorbike in less than an hour. Otherwise, the motorbikes were in good condition. Our 800 km trip was great fun, with a perfect combination of macadam and dirty roads. I have done enduro road trips in many countries in Africa and Asia. I recommend doing it in Rwanda. The country is super safe, the traffic is soft, the people are amazingly kind, the landscapes are fantastic and you can find repair mechanics in every village if you need a quick fix with a motorbike. Go there and enjoy! David (Belgium)

Great experience renting a motorbike here. The location on Google maps is pretty accurate. I took the motorbike to go see a lake for the day. Somehow I managed to not get any speeding fines, which I hear are pretty expensive, so try to keep your speed under 60 and you should be good.

Rented a light 150cc motorbike for 2 weeks to travel around Burundi and Rwanda. Everything done last minute via WhatsApp. Excellent service and very responsive. Would rent with them again for sure.

We did the 10 day Rwanda and Uganda motorbike tour with Vincent. We had the absolute best time! Everything was well planned and amazing, with room for flexibility if we needed it. Would highly recommend!

This is a very good place to rent a motorbike. Dominik (the owner) is a very polite and friendly man. He is ready to give you any assistance you may require. The prices are affordable and what’s more,he gives you a good discount if you are a regular customer. We are happy to meet Dominik and his wonderful motorbike rental, they made our staying in Rwanda unforgettable. We really enjoyed our experience. We highly recommend everyone to rent motorbikes here! Thank you Dominik and Naomie, we really appreciate your kind attitude for us.

Fantastic service, great motorbikes and local knowledge for trips! 5stars. I would highly recommend using Kigali Motorbike Rental Ltd. Thank you for the great ride 👍

If anyone ever wants to hire a motorbike and do a bit of an adventure in Kigali then this is your place!!!! I excellent motorbikes, super prices and the owner is just an all round nice guy!!! Very personable, doesn’t make you feel like you’re dealing with a business but more with a friend. They were also very flexible with me as I needed to return a motorbike out of hours and on an earlier date and nothing was a problem. I’ll for sure use them again

July 18, 2024

Best service you can get, Dominik and his team will help you if needed, support you with travel ideas and they have a really fair price, even if you crash the motorbike as I did 🙈 I will use their service whenever I'm in Rwanda again. Thank you for this great experience 🙏

Sept. 17, 2024

Excellent experience. Hired a motorbike on 2 occasions within a week. Both very well maintained and everything worked. Dominik and his staff all very helpful and professional. I can highly recommend the 650GS for a trip in Rwanda - very enjoyable on sealed and dirt roads. The Hawk is good fun too and also a rewarding experience. Importantly, I would also trust these guys at Kigali Motorbike Rentals to help if you got stuck somewhere.

July 19, 2024

The very best way to see Kigali is on the back of a motorbike. The best way to get a motorbike is this company. Friendly, efficient, and accommodating. The couple that manage this business are lovely and trustworthy. Some of the nicest people in Rwanda! I can't wait to come back and rent another motorbike.

Feb. 19, 2025

Up with the best trips of my life. Vincent made everything easy and no hassle. For any long term bikers or beginners like us this trip was unfortunately. From his knowledge of everywhere we went to help with all things motorbike education. We left this tour ready to take on anything. Already talking about doing another trip in Rwanda. Thank you Vincent

I recently had the pleasure of renting a motorcycle from Kigali Motorcycle Rental, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've had! The selection of motorcycles available was nice, catering to various preferences and riding styles. Dealing with the owner, Dominik, was a breeze. He was always available to answer any questions I had, offering invaluable advice on routes and must-visit destinations. His passion for motorcycling and knowledge of the area really enhanced my adventure. Dominik's flexibility regarding the return of the motorcycle was also a major plus – it made the experience even more convenient and stress-free. Riding through Rwanda was an absolute dream. The country’s stunning landscapes, charming hills, and winding roads make it an incredible destination for touring on two wheels. Every direction I took revealed amazing views and splendid routes that made the journey unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kigali Motorcycle Rental to anyone who knows how to ride a motorcycle or scooter. You won't just rent a bike; you'll embark on an adventure filled with breathtaking scenery. If you have the chance, don’t miss the opportunity to explore Rwanda on two wheels – it’s an experience you won’t regret!

Fantastic service from this motorbike rental company. I hired a 150cc Boxer and rode around Rwanda for over a week. The rates are good, the motorbike was great and Dominik was very helpful. I'm planning to do this again but take a longer trip!

Good choice. Motorbike in perfect condition. Good support of Domenic. Recommended. Made a trip around lake Victoria. A good chance to see a lot of nature and its animals

Sept. 13, 2024

Only good things to say about this company. Rented a motorcycle for a week and it went as smooth as can be. Everything was quick, easy and professional. Great communication. Bike was ready to go when arrived, they made sure I had everything I needed for my journey. Would recommend as the go to motorcycle rental in Kigali.

July 1, 2023

Perfect service! The owner has good advise and can match you to the motorbike that works best for you. After renting a motorbike on several occasions I now bought my own motorbike based on my experiences and his inputs. Driving a motorbike is definitely the best way to get around in Kigali 😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

April 12, 2024

Today I had the best motorbike trip experience ever! Seeing Rwanda, while driving on the motorbike following Vincent was a mega experience. The combination of paved and unpaved roads was great. Vincent has a great route along beautiful lakes, mountains and volcanoes and small villages giving an unforgettable experience. Thank you once again for the fantastic day Vincent. I would recommend this guided tour to everyone! Hopefully I will be back soon to try another route.

I have had a great motorcycle tour in Rwanda around lake Kivu with Vincent. It was a great riding experience. Recommended to you all!

July 31, 2024

I had a good experience renting from Dominik, The motorbikes are well-maintained,I rented a Bajaj Boxer 150 and it was a perfect motorbike to ride around Rwanda on, I even did the Congo-Nile Trail along Lake Kivu.

Aug. 6, 2023

Outstanding experience. Thanks a ton Dominik. Anybody planning to use services of Kigali Motorbike Rental, will find a great friend, genuine service provider, a guide and a mentor in Dominik about Kigali. No hidden cost/issues. All clean and clear deals. Will definitely use their services again

July 1, 2023

the motorcycle was new and in great condition. very good contact with the owner. I recommend

Feb. 8, 2024

I did a tour in Rwanda for 2 days and in Uganda for 3 days and it was awsome. Vincent and Ghyslin are to very guide to show you some things yu don't see with "classic tourism", very nice off-road with very good motorbikes, you can trust the motorbikes even 200cc is very enought (I drive a 750cc in France and here I never feel I would need more then the 200cc) you can cross any off-road, even river with those motorbike ! They are very kind and helpful ! I am very thanksful for all the trip I did ! I will come back for sure !

Rented a Boxer 150 from these guys a few weeks ago. The motorbike ran perfectly through Rwanda and half of Uganda. The service is impeccable. Thanks Dominik.

July 12, 2023

5 stars, brilliant experience hiring a motorbike with this company in Rwanda. I have had an excellent experience.

June 10, 2024

Recommended! Rented motorbike for a day to Gisenyi Congo border and back. The Bajaj boxer motorbike was in good condition with mobile holder for navigation. For riders: I followed the route Kigali- Ruhengeri-Gisenyi- Mubanza - Mushubati -Kigali, 400Km stretch in 24 hours. There is construction going on for 10km between Mubanza and Mushubati(as on June 2024) where you can cover in 30-40 Kmph. Except that, the road is perfect and guarded by policemen 24*7. There are cameras every 2 Km with limits 60 Kmph and 80 Kmph. I could cover Lake Kivu, Congo border , beautiful mountain villages, tea gardens, Gishwati national park on the way. You can also take lakeside Congo Nile trail from Rubavu to  Rushel Kivu resort, but it's off-road . Happy traveling!

Absolutely great rental place! I rented a light scooter to cruise through Rwanda, and Kigali Motorbike Rental provided excellent service. They are responsive, flexible, and communicative, offering great travel advice tailored to your needs. The owner, Dominik, is an overall sociable and knowledgeable guy. And not to forget—the motorbikes are fantastic. Definitely recommended!

Original Review from 2018: I rented a motorbike here back in 2018 for a few days and it was one of the best things I did in Rwanda (and I stayed for a year!). Vincent is a really nice guy who is trying to make you have the best experience possible. I didn't take a guided tour, but I can imagine he is a great guide. He gave me a lot of tips about good places to go, he definitely knows his country well! Rwanda itself is perfect for motorbiking. Plenty of nice curves, going up and down (amazing views!). A mix of perfect roads, and if you like also plenty of off road. As soon as I'm back to Rwanda, I'd love to do a tour again. I loved it. Update 2022: I came back to Rwanda with my wife recently and this time we did the tour together. Plenty of space for her in the seat behind me (she's not a small woman) and we even had a waterproof bag for clothes behind us. Kagabo was very helpful advicing us about the rain season and preparing us for it. It's definitely easier during dry season, but due to the high population density of Rwanda, you'll almost always find shelter early enough. Just expect to move slower as you'll be waiting sometimes for the rain to pass.

I stayed in Kigali for some months and rent various scooters from Dominik. All of them were in perfect condition. Dominik was always very supportive if there was the slightest problem. So I highly recommend this great scooter rental!

April 12, 2024

Great guide, great motorbikes, great trips - true local spirit and kindness all around. Would recommend as the motorbike tour guide for any driving experience across Rwanda and nearby countries.

Dec. 30, 2024

Overall, excellent experience with Vincent and very nice motorbike to get around Kigali! We wanted to have some freedom to explore Kigali on our own but we hadn’t planned ahead. Thanks to Vincent we were able to rent one of his motorbikes for the weekend super easy, he dropped it very quickly where we were staying and we could start riding.
