Book this modelKuta is the most built-up part of the south: flat, congested and close to the airport. Riding is slow and stop-start, with heavy scooter and car traffic through the day. It attracts backpackers and first-time visitors, many of whom ride in Bali for the first time here.

Slow, dense urban riding. A light 110cc is the easiest thing to learn on and to park.

Slow, dense and constant. Small and light is what actually moves here.
Both are within a comfortable ride of Kuta. Sixty kilometres or more each way asks for a bigger bike than the local runs.

Honda Beat, Vario 110. Easiest to park and the cheapest to run.
Vario 125, Scoopy. The default choice: enough for hills, still light in traffic.
PCX 160, NMAX. Big seat, real suspension, room for two and luggage.
XSR155, CB150R. Manual gearbox, for riders with real experience.
Four things worth knowing before your first ride here. Who rides here: First-time visitors, budget travellers, surf schools.
Narrow two-lane lanes with heavy scooter traffic, frequent potholes after rain and many blind exits from villa gates. Short distances, but journeys are slow: 5 km can take 25 minutes at peak times (08:00-10:00 and 16:00-19:00).
Regular checkpoints on the main arteries, especially at junctions with Jl. Raya. Foreign riders are checked more often than locals. Carry your licence, IDP and the rental document at all times.
Paid parking attendants at most beach clubs and cafes, usually 2,000-5,000 IDR. Kerbside parking is tolerated but blocks lanes; police remove badly parked scooters in peak season.
Plenty of Pertamina stations plus Pertamini kiosks on every main road. No planning needed.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. No deposit, no passport, no cash.
