FAQ
Your questions, answered.
How many guests can ride on one motorcycle?
One bike comes with one guide and carries up to two guests: one in the sidecar and one on the pillion seat. Three or four guests need two bikes with one guide and one driver. Two guests can also choose two bikes, giving each guest their own sidecar seat, with one guide and one driver accompanying the booking. Each bike is charged at the selected ride’s per-bike price. We confirm passenger suitability before booking.

Please tell us about any concerns before booking so we can confirm a suitable arrangement.
Do I choose the Royal Enfield or Vespa?
