Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in Long Biên

The rental shop and its staff are fantastic, friendly, and professional. They have well-maintained motorbikes with new tires and brakes. All models are recent, and the prices are reasonable. I haven't had any problems with the motorbike in 15 days of rental and 2,000 km. The staff also gave me valuable advice and was always available. I hope to return soon! Grazie!!!

I rent a Honda XR150 for one month to visit the whole north of Vietnam and it was a great experience. Even if the motorbike isn't brand new it's well maintained. The communication with the rental shop was always easy and they were responsive if I had any issue.

Very professional and extremely welcoming seller. James committed to buying the motorbike back from us at an agreed price, and he fully honored his word without any issues. Everything was easy, transparent, and based on trust. We highly recommend going to see James if you’re looking to buy a motorbike in Vietnam!

Smooth and Hassle-Free Motorbike Rental. Renting a motorbike here was very easy and straightforward. The owner, James himself, handled the entire process—from choosing and checking the motorbike to negotiating the price and completing the deal. Payment was made in cash, and they required either a passport or a deposit of around 5 million VND (the amount may vary depending on the motorbike selected). As always, make sure to read the rental agreement carefully and understand everything before signing. We rented a Honda Air Blade 125cc, which was simple and comfortable to ride. The motorbike performed perfectly throughout our rental—no breakdowns, no issues, and nothing unusual at all. Helmets were also available for rent. James is a great guy and very committed to the agreement we made. We were happy with the overall experience and would definitely recommend this place. Thank you, James — cảm ơn!

Rented a Honda CB500X from James Hanoi Motorbikes and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in Vietnam. The motorbike was in excellent condition, super smooth, and had more than enough power to handle the traffic and roads here (honestly, probably more than you’ll ever need for Hanoi 😂). James and his team were professional, friendly, and made the whole rental process easy and stress-free. Everything was well explained, and I felt confident riding from day one. If you’re looking for reliable motorbikes, fair pricing, and great service, this is the place. Highly recommend to any rider visiting Hanoi—especially if you want something with a bit more power for long-distance trips! Thanks again to James and the team!

I had to leave a second review because of how exceptional these guys are. I bought this motorbike in Hanoi from FB marketplace , I took it here for a tuneup and oil change. They did honest and good job. I drove 2000km through the north and almost to Hanoi the motorbike broke down. I knew it was something fuel pump related . Turns out it was water getting into my gas tank. They fully took apart gas tank and cleaned fuel pump, fixed my mirrors that broke from the motorbike dropping, another oil change and tune up. And charged honest price. They are knowledgeable even with this royal enfield that is not common . And speak fluent English. This is the 4th motorbike I bought abroad, one in Malaysia, and two motorbikes in India on separate trips . Best mechanics I’ve ever found. Don’t waste your time any other place nd come here , location is also super convenient right in old quarter

I rented a motorbike from James for a 10-day solo road trip across Vietnam, and everything was perfect! He adapted the motorbike so I could attach my bag, did a complete check-up before I left, and gave me plenty of useful tips and contacts for the trip. James is incredibly kind, always ready to help, and the value for money is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a reliable motorbike and outstanding service, I highly recommend James!

Amazing motorbike rental place, the owner is super nice, he helped me choose a motorbike for my 3 weeks solo trip in northern Vietnam and I was really happy with the motorbike and the choice, I got a motorbike with no problems and no surprises for a really good price and it was flexible so I returned the motorbike later then expected. The return of the motorbike was super easy and I even got a small discount 🙂 overall super good, reliable motorbike rental place, highly recommended 🤘

Rented a Honda xr150 for about two weeks from James Hanoi, $12 USD per day (good deal). The motorbike came with a phone holder, full face helmet, knee pads, and bungee straps. James was available via WhatsApp my entire trip, and I highly recommend his rental services.

James is incredibly friendly, lot of laughs. Most importantly we took 3 motorbikes from him for a month everything was perfect He pays for motorbike problems on the road and communicate with us all the way. I can only strongly recommend if you want to explore Vietnam by yourself ;)))

I bought a scooter from James and he bought it back from me at the agreed price three months later. It's great that when you buy a scooter, he agrees to buy it back at a certain price. James speaks English well, he is used to dealing with foreigners and he is very friendly and honest. A great place to buy, sell or rent a motorcycle.

Booked a honda xr150l for almost 2 months, the motorbike was in good condition and the service from james along the road was amazing. Its a trustworthy place to hire, he won’t complain about the small damages made during offroading.

I had a fantastic experience with James Hanoi Motorbikes! James speaks excellent English, which made communication seamless and the entire process so much easier. His fleet of motorbikes is impressive — all well-maintained and reliable, reflecting his years of experience in the business. What really sets James apart is his local knowledge. He provided invaluable tips on everything from the best non-tourist food spots to must-see sights along the Ha Giang Loop and beyond. His recommendations for routes and stops were spot-on and made my trip unforgettable. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable motorbike rental service in Hanoi, look no further! Ps I’ll be back 🤗

The seller of our motorbike was very helpful and honest. The motorbike we bought went 2700 km through 🇻🇳 Vietnam, from Hanoi to Saigon, it hasn't any problem on the way. Helmets as 🎁 present. Good luck to James).

James and his team was the best choice. I definitely can recommend for renting, buying or fixing a motorbike. Correct, professional, nice. James speaks very good English. He is very kind and helpful. I was going to rent a motorbike but I ended up buying one. I used it to go around the country without any problem. But if there would be one, James is always available and there to help. At the end of my trip I returned the motorbike to him as we agreed without any problem or haggling. He is very correct and very professional. I will go back again. Thank you.

Great guy and company! Helps with anything you need to have the best time in Vietnam. We rented two Honda XR150s motorcycles and they were reliable for our entire trip. Be sure to get regular oil changes at a Honda shop as the oil is low quality in Vietnam. I would rent or buy a moto from James anytime!

May 6, 2024

I have rented motorbikes in every major city in Vietnam, and James is the best. Next time I am back I will use his services again. He gave me a large variety of motorbikes to choose from with no sales pressure, and made sure everything was tuned up and running excellent before I left. He installed a phone mount free of charge for gps directions, and came out to help me at night when I ran myself out of gas at no cost. He even gave me a free ride back to my hotel after I returned the motorbike. Honest people, honest pricing, very responsive through WhatsApp. I absolutely recommend you rent a motorbike here.

We bought a motorbike from James. When we picked it up, he gave us everything we needed and helped rearrange our stuff until we were all ready to hit the road straight away. Also when there was a small issue a couple days later, James supported us via phone call to fix it. According to his warranty, he gave us a good deal to buy the motorbike back as our roadtrip ended 2 months later and even arranged for us to drop the motorbike in Da Nang. All in all, you added quite some comfort to our trip - thanks for everything! We would certainly come to you again

March 26, 2024

Absolutely recommended!! Got myself a Honda NX 125 from James for a month-long drive from Hanoi to HCMC. The motorbike took me everywhere along the route, even through some adventurous off-road tracks, without any issues (apart from one flat tire). James was always happy to assist on the phone when visiting a local mechanic and even arranged an oil change in Hue. Return in HCMC went smoothly and exactly as agreed — took 5 minutes, no problems, no haggling. Thank you very much!!

Picked up 4 Honda XR 150s and rode North Vietnam what a time! We were looked after well good communications, motorbike came with spare tubes and chain for our journey. James was always on hand for advice if needed. Thank you for helping with our adventure. We will be back

If you need a motorbike in Hanoi, James is the one to go to. Aswell as give us the motorbikes we wanted, he sat down with us and helped plan our whole trip which turned out to be perfect. He's got contacts all the way down vietnam who can service/repair the motorbikes and probably sort anything else your after. Really couldn't have expected anymore from him. He also speaks good English which simplified things.

Dec. 29, 2023

I can recommend James to literally anyone looking to buy or rent a motorbike for Vietnam! He has motorbikes in really great condition, especially compared to most other places in Hanoi, with very fair prices. He will not take advantage of tourists and is a really genuine guy! Plus, he will help with any mechanical issue. We bought two Honda XRs here and he gave us lots of time to test the motorbikes and fixed all (minor!) issues for free before the sale so we were ready to go for our tour. He also has a shop down south which will take back the motorbikes at the end of a Vietnam North to South route if necessary.

Excellent place to rent a motorcycle! Seriousness, good recommendations and we have not had a single problem or failure in 5 days traveling through the north of Vietnam (about 1000 km) with the motorcycle we rented (manual). Highly recommended Thank you!!

We went to James to practice on a Semi automatic motorbike for the Ha Giang Loop He had so much helpful information to share and was generous with his time.

Oct. 12, 2023

I moved to Hanoi recently and I am renting a motorbike from James Hanoi. He is very helpful and offers a range of motorbikes at a fair price for long and short term rentals. He speaks excellent English and can offer advice about travel in Hanoi and Vietnam in general.

Sept. 14, 2023

If you want to experience a powerful motorbike, but don't have the means to buy your own, this is a reliable place for you to experience it.

Sept. 4, 2023

rented a Honda wave from James to drive down to HCM for 3 weeks. Half way through I realised I should’ve gone for a bigger motorbike. James helped me send the motorbike back and upgrade to the Honda XR, which was more suited to the long days of driving. Any issues with the motorbikes James was very helpful. all round good experience renting from him, and for a very reasonable price I thought. definitely recommend
