Motorcycles, scooters or bikes on Reunion's roads
Riding a two wheeled vehicle is a great way to discover Reunion Island otherwise. The rather busy road network and the sunny climate encourage to travel by motorcycle, scooter or bicycle.
You must however be careful about traffic patterns on the island and adapt to local roads. They can be winding, narrow, steep, with a coating sometimes damaged by the austral summer rains(December-March). That's why it is better to be an experienced biker to ride in Reunion.
To rent a motorbike over 125 cm³, you must have a valid motorcycle A license. 125 cm³ motorcycles can be driven by holders of a B driver's license. Foreign driving licenses are often accepted, but you should make sure with the renter. Be aware that renters do not usually offer a comprehensive insurance for rented motorcycles. Instead, a damage deposit is requested on delivery, not cashed, and given back on return of the bike.
To rent a 50 cm³ scooter, no license is required. From 50 to 125 cm³, a driver's license is sufficient. Beyond 125 cm³, it is necessary to have a motorcycle license.

Therefore, there are mainly two types of bike rentals :
- Bicycles for riding around the beach areas of the West, mostly indicated to residents of St Gilles les Bains and La Saline les Bains.
Rental bikes can be available with two-wheeled-vehicle renters, and don’t forget to simply ask your host !
- Mountain bikes, with or without instructors and shuttle rides, to ride around the mountains of Reunion. There are marked mountain bike trails spread all over the slopes of the island.
These tracks are relatively physically demanding ...
Downhill enthusiasts will find tracks from le Maïdo
(on the Western slopes, at an altitude of 2200 m) to the seashore. Thrills and fun guaranteed !
