Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in Cape Town

Fantastic experience with the motorcycles, which inspire friendliness and camaraderie with everyone... we had a lot of success with them. The Riderly team is very friendly, helpful, and professional.

I rented a KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle from the rental shop for a short one day guided tour around Cape Town. It was the perfect size motorbike for a lady and much better priced compared to other bigger rental companies. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area and took some amazing photos with a professional camera. I highly recommend the rental shop if you are looking for well-maintained adventure motorcycles at a good price and speedy service. I sent the initial WhatsApp text at 10AM and by 11:30 AM I was hitting the road.

What a great experience, really enjoyed it thoroughly. Grew up riding scramblers, so used to riding motorbikes, but hadn't done it for a couple of years. I rented it the day before to get used to the motorbike before we did a trip around the Cape peninsula with my wife as passenger. I also rented it for the day after so I was not rushed to return it. I would really recommend doing that. It costs a bit more, but it is worth it.

I rented a motorbike for my first solo trip in Africa, spending 10 days around the Western Cape. The equipment and motorbike were all stellar. From initially reaching out, I received a quick response with the available motorbikes, and the deposit was paid promptly for the motorbike, panniers and full protection equipment, as I flew without my own. The rental shop was flexible about pickup and return times. I received a document with suggested routes and, when I picked up the motorbike, the rental shop took the time to review my plan, highlight potential route issues for different dates and give restaurant recommendations. The rental gear was in good condition. I have quite a big head (64 cm), but I received a brand new 4XL helmet that fit perfectly. Trousers, jacket and gloves were in good condition, and the boots were also brand new. The F900 GSA motorbike was in good condition, as were the tires. Other motorbikes I saw were also in very good condition. A few days into my trip, the new boots started showing unexpected wear because the gear selector had worn through the thin outer layer of leather. Returning the motorbike was difficult due to my own circumstances, and I was unable to ride it back. The rental shop arranged to meet me and the motorbike within an hour, brought my stored backpack and suitcase, and completed the handover in a parking garage. I was very happy with how quickly the rental shop went out of its way to help me enjoy my last afternoon in Cape Town. The wind had blown the helmet around and scratched it, so its value was deducted from my deposit. This was reasonable, and the price was pleasantly affordable. The rental shop also accepted my explanation about the boots and planned to raise the quality issue with the distributor. One thing to be aware of is that standard maintenance supplies are not included. After four days, including three long days on gravel, the chain needed to be degreased and lubricated. I paid a local shop to do this, but if you plan to ride hard and take care of the motorbike, remember to obtain these supplies before setting out. All in all, it was a 10/10 experience. I would gladly return and recommend the rental shop to friends. It was a great adventure, and the rental shop made it possible.

We travelled all the way from Romania and had an amazing experience with the rental shop. We rented a BMW R1300GS for 5 days and the rental shop arranged a dedicated tour guide for us, which made the trip even more special. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to places and roads that we would never have discovered on our own. We rode through some incredible mountain passes and travelled along the coastline, where we were even lucky enough to spot whales along the way. The BMW motorcycle was in excellent condition and the rental price was much more affordable compared with other motorcycle rental companies we looked at in Cape Town. We were extremely happy with the service from the rental shop from beginning to end. If you are travelling to South Africa and looking for a BMW motorcycle rental in Cape Town, we highly recommend the rental shop. It was an unforgettable riding experience!

I had an excellent experience dealing with the rental shop. The service from start to delivery was exceptional when purchasing my new Suzuki GSXR 750 through the rental shop. I highly recommend the rental shop if you are looking at purchasing a motorbike.

We had an amazing experience renting a BMW F850GS from the rental shop for 7 days. We came from Mozambique and travelled around the Western Cape, visiting the Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach, Cape Agulhas and Franschhoek. The motorcycle was in excellent condition and was perfect for exploring the area. One of our favourite features was the full GPS navigation with Apple CarPlay, which made it very easy to navigate throughout the trip without having to worry about getting lost. We were also very impressed with the price. The rental shop offered the most affordable rental we found in Cape Town, while still having one of the youngest and best-maintained fleets. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish, and we highly recommend the rental shop to anyone looking for a BMW motorcycle rental in Cape Town. We would definitely rent from the rental shop again!

I had a fantastic experience renting a BMW R1300GS adventure motorcycle from the rental shop for 6 days. I rode the Garden Route all the way to Knysna and the motorcycle was perfect for the trip. The motorbike was in excellent condition and clearly very well maintained. I was also impressed that all the riding equipment provided was in perfect condition and included at no extra cost. It made the whole experience much easier, especially for a longer trip in South Africa. If you're looking for a reliable BMW motorcycle rental in Cape Town, I would definitely recommend the rental shop. Great motorcycle, excellent equipment and a very professional service.

Amazing experience with the rental shop! We rented 5 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and had an unforgettable day exploring Cape Town. The motorbikes were clean, well-maintained, and in excellent condition. A special thanks to the staff for their professionalism, friendliness, and excellent service. Everything was smooth and well-organized from start to finish. We really enjoyed every moment of the ride and would definitely recommend the rental shop to anyone looking for an amazing motorcycle experience in Cape Town. We will definitely be back! 🏍️

We rented two BMW GS 1300s yesterday, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. This was my second time renting from the rental shop, and once again they were absolutely awesome. The motorbikes felt brand new and were in fantastic condition. The team is friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. I'd highly recommend the rental shop to anyone looking to rent a motorcycle in Cape Town. I'll definitely be back again! 10/10 - highly recommended!

I rented a BMW Adventure motorcycle from the rental shop for my trip across South Africa, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The motorbike was in excellent condition, extremely reliable, and perfectly prepared for a long-distance adventure. A special thanks to the staff member, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything I needed. Their excellent service and attention to detail made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend the rental shop to anyone looking for a quality motorcycle rental in South Africa, and I will definitely rent from them again on my next visit.

What a great company! I was in the Western Cape for a holiday and the rental shop was recommended - great result. I was able to try a few different motorbikes around the block to check them out resulting in me renting a HD Fat Bob (an older 103ci model with a few battle scars but ideal for my trip). I had the motorbike for a couple of days and had a blast covering a chunk of the Western Cape. Renting was super easy, good value, decent kit (Helmet, Jacket and Gloves) provided as part of the rental and the motorbike performed really well. The staff member is a super nice guy who made the whole rental experience a pleasure. He gave me lots of ideas for routes which included the Bain's Kloof and Du Toitskloof passes which if you've not ridden them - do it, they are fabulous. Overall, if you're thinking of renting a Harley Davidson in the Cape Town area, give the rental shop a call, you won't be disappointed.

Rented a 1300GS for 4 days. The staff was very accommodating, very responsive and provided excellent tips for my journey. The motorbike was excellent. It had Android Auto/CarPlay for navigation and top of the line side boxes and crashbars. The rental shop has a few good helmets with Cardo coms, few jackets and gloves. I would definitely recommend the rental shop.

June 26, 2026

The staff were very accommodating. I requested a motorbike and some gear at very short notice, and they were more than happy to help out. The motorbike was in fantastic condition and was a pleasure to ride. I received some great tips on routes, and the staff were more than happy to collect the motorbike the following day. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again, should I find myself back in Cape Town at any point.

I rented a BMW F800GS, the perfect motorcycle, new tires and chain, very economical and reliable. I rode 5,000 km with this motorcycle in South Africa, I had no problems or unforeseen events, everything was very satisfactory. The rental shop was very kind, attentive and helpful. I am very satisfied. Thank you.

I highly recommend the rental shop for GS rentals. I rented a motorcycle from the rental shop at the end of May 2026, and it was an exceptional adventure. From the very beginning, the staff was essentially the organizer of my trip, offering advice not only on the motorbike but also on where to stay. Before the rental, I was fortunate to meet a wonderful team member who helped me choose all the high-quality gear and made me a wonderful coffee. From the very beginning, the staff were more than just businessmen; they were like old acquaintances. I had pre-booked a GS900, but on the day of the rental, two perfectly prepared motorcycles were parked outside: a GS900 and a GS 1250. I was offered to test-drive both before the trip. Until that moment, the BMW GS 1250 was just a collection of letters and numbers for me; now it's my love. I took the 1250, which was perfectly prepared for the trip. In addition, I was provided with itineraries, some of which I completed. Throughout my travels, the staff was always responsive to all my questions, offering advice and recommendations. I thank the rental shop from the bottom of my heart and hope to return to Cape Town as soon as possible.

Rented a GS for one day to explore the coastal roads in the region. The motorbike was in top shape, and the riding gear we rented was brand new and very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Prices are clearly listed on the website, and the paperwork was handled very professionally.

Incredible rental experience. You can book via an app. The rental shop itself is a piece of art. The motorbike was awesome. And of course, great service. Thank you!

Had an absolutely excellent experience renting from the rental shop! The motorbike was in pristine condition-clearly well-serviced and looked after. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. The team goes above and beyond to make sure you're set for the road. I have to recognize the staff for amazing hospitality and advice about local routes and eats. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Cape Town on two wheels!

The ultimate way to experience the Cape - on a Harley! I've ridden in a lot of places around the world, but booking with the rental shop was something else entirely. Very very personalized attention. From the moment I arrived at their new base the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. - you can tell this isn't just a business, it's a lifestyle. We hired a Harley-Davidson for a self-guided tour, and they set me up perfectly. They offered me riding different models and decide which one suited me best. The motorbike was immaculate, powerful, and handled the mountain passes like a dream. Chapman's Peak unfortunately was closed due to weather but we followed an alternate route via Constantia and finally ended up in Cape point. The whole process was smooth and flexible, from booking to drop-off, and the staff's attention to detail made sure I felt safe and confident on the road. They are not just one more professional renting motorbikes. They have deep knowledge of motorbikes, routes, weather and even wineries! Whether you're an experienced rider or just want the chauffeured Harley experience, the rental shop has an option for you. Highly, highly recommend - I'll be back on my next trip to Cape Town without a doubt. THANK YOU! P.S. By the way, and this is important, NO extra charge for safety gear!

From start to finish communication with the rental shop was amazing. Booked a nice Harley for my trip to South Africa and the owner was informative and helpful throughout the entire process of booking the motorbike. When arriving on the day to pick up the motorbike for our adventure the team at the shop were helpful with fitting us with the right gear and even offering us some coffee as we arrived early in the morning. The motorbike was in pristine shape and even had a phone holder for using GPS. The rates for the rentals were the best in town and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed before heading out. I would be more than happy to rent from this shop again and again.

Our 12 day GS self-guided motorcycle tour in 2026 became far more than a trip - it felt like an adventure crafted with care and passion. From the very beginning, the preparation was handled with professionalism and genuine attention to our needs. The staff was always there for us, ready to help, and their warmth made us feel supported at every moment. The welcome on arrival set the tone: the entire team greeted us with such friendliness that we immediately felt at home. The motorcycle presentation was impressive and built real excitement for the journey ahead. What touched us most was the extraordinary selection of accommodations. Each place had its own atmosphere - peaceful lodges, a magical glamping tent overlooking a wildlife pond, a hotel with sweeping sea views, and vibrant urban stays. These were places we would never have discovered ourselves, and each one added a unique emotional layer to the journey. Many hosts even welcomed us personally with a drink, making us feel like honored guests rather than travelers passing through. Our motorcycles were always safely parked, giving us peace of mind. The two rest days were perfectly placed, allowing us to breathe, reflect, and enjoy the surroundings. And the safaris - guided with expertise and passion - were truly unforgettable, the kind of moments that stay with you for a lifetime.

Super helpful and friendly customer service at the rental shop - I would strongly recommend you use their services while in Cape Town. Region has some of the most spectacular motorcycle touring roads so it would be great way to experience it. There was a minor issue with the bike I got first day so I took it back and they gladly exchanged it for the next model up for the second day.

March 26, 2026

The staff is great, kind, decent, and responsible. They provided us with a wonderful motorcycle, fully prepared for long trips, and also allowed us to leave our luggage at their place. What pleased me most was the price of the motorcycle. I haven't seen anything cheaper in Cape Town; 2000 for a BMW is a gift. We had a great time and traveled half the country on the motorcycle. I am very grateful for such positive emotions. I am very glad that in South Africa I found not only many impressions but also a friend, a motorcycle mate. At home, I will remember this time and the experience with warmth.

The owner is definitely the person you want to hire your motorbike from in Cape Town. I was really cautious in the beginning due to overly positive feedback. But from the moment I stepped in to get the motorbike (early Monday morning) it was all perfect and totally exceeding the feedback. Communication, flexibility, feedback is on a totally different level than any regular hire company. I got R1300GS for a week and 2400km. Everything was smooth and the owner was instantly available if I ever had a question throughout the trip. GS was in perfect condition, Android/Carplay navigation provided with the motorbike was also great, making travel easier. Just to mention, you can get helmet and gear from the owner as well, if you need. All in all, very positive and highly-highly recommended experience in Cape Town.

March 17, 2026

We have already rented motorcycles from the rental shop for the second time for 3 weeks each! The care and service is exemplary! The motorcycles were in perfect condition and had never made any problems! For our next tour we would definitely book again at the rental shop!

Renting a motorbike at the rental shop was much more than just a rental, it was a real experience. By choosing the staff, I received the right guidance to save time and stay safe during my road trip. Their advice helped me make the most of my short time riding around the Cape area, they were able in reactivity to help me adjust my trip so I didn't waste a single moment figuring out routes or what to see, everything was perfectly optimized thanks to them. I also got great advice when choosing the motorbike. I initially planned to rent a cheaper option, but the staff recommended the BMW GS1250 Adventure (low profile, I am 1.8 m). Following their advice was a game changer. I felt extremely secure and comfortable on the road, much more than I would have on another motorbike. The motorbike itself was in perfect condition, very safe and extremely well maintained. I'm already thinking about coming back and renting two motorbikes for a full week with my father. Highly recommended.

The staff is THE REAL DEAL. I had a magnificent experience from website (accurate details) to booking (transparent prices) to communications with the staff. The motorbike was awesome and the staff did an absolutely thorough job walking through the motorbike. They were patient, answered all my questions and the day of my ride was very responsive. I would highly recommend this business and supporting a local South African small business. This is what renting a motorcycle should be like! And what an EPIC ride.

March 7, 2026

I couldn't have been happier with the guidance and the GS1200! I did a 10-day solo tour along the Garden Route and had an amazing time on the motorbike. Everything worked perfectly, and the staff was always happy to help with anything-from route planning to technical details. I'll definitely come by again. Thanks!

Feb. 28, 2026

Very friendly people! Take care of anything. 450 RE Himalayan was in top condition. Great bike! Additional booking off panniers and a short termed shift of pick up and return time was no problem. I wish every car rental would be similar friendly and helpful. Thanks to the rental shop team!

Feb. 25, 2026

If you're planning to ride the Cape, this is the company to use. I rented the Harley Fat Bob for a weekend run down to the Cape of Good Hope, and from start to finish, the experience was world-class. The Bike: Immaculate, powerful, and perfectly prepped. The Service: Smooth booking process and very welcoming staff. The Ride: There is nothing like hearing that Milwaukee-Eight engine echoing through the coastal passes. Thanks for making this a highlight of my trip. I'll be back for sure!

Feb. 23, 2026

We rented two Pan America motorcycles from the rental shop and were completely satisfied with the service. The manager was extremely helpful from the very beginning until the end of our trip. They provided great support, useful tips and recommendations, as well as additional services that really helped us during our journey. They also have a huge selection of motorcycles available. Overall, it was a very good experience, and we will definitely come back in the future.

Feb. 20, 2026

I had rented a BMW 800 GS. I drove it along the Garden Route to the Edo National Park and through the backyard back, a total of 3000 km of which about 20% off-road. The motorcycle was in excellent condition, freshly maintained, new tires, perfectly equipped for the tour. It was the ideal motorcycle for an individual, easy to handle, very powerful. I would do it again at any time. Thanks again for the uncomplicated, simple and professional way of handling everything. They do not look for problems when returning the motorcycle even if it is very dirty and extremely sloppy; they do not look for scratches and for any errors that were not there before and you get your deposit back in full. I hope I can come to South Africa again then I will rent a motorcycle again.

Feb. 16, 2026

If you ever want to take a motorcycle trip with excellent motorbikes, then in my opinion, there's no way around the rental shop. Perfect service, great communication, honest and smooth handling. The three of us did a 5-day trip in the Cape region all the way to Pearly Beach, including some gravel riding. We'll definitely book with them again next time. Thanks!
