Zippy Motorbike Rentals Chiang Mai

Rented a motorbike in Chiang Mai for a 4-day Mae Hong Son Loop trip. The bike was in very good condition, but unfortunately the battery died during the trip (probably just bad luck, hard to say – we were in the mountains). True Thai style: no problem at all. A local mechanic replaced the battery and we were refunded the cost when we returned. Apart from that, everything was great. Good experience overall.

The staff is very kind and the scooters are cheap and great quality. They are fast and don’t try to rob your money. They didn’t make me pay for little damage on the right of the scooter when a lot of renting stores would have charged me way more than the real cost. Thank you for your kindness ;)

Highly recommend Zippy Motorbikes in Chiang Mai. We booked 3 motorbikes for 1 full week to ride the Mae Hong Son loop and it went perfect. Helmets available for free. They are not the best but will legally do. Deposit = 2000baht + a copy of our passports. Thank you for the nice service! .

Rented a 150cc GPX bike (a Thai made bike I believe). Paperwork took 7-8 min, paid 2000 in deposit and rode away. Bike is very well maintained. Smooth and comfortable, even at high speed. Didn't encounter a single issue while using it. These people clearly knows what they're doing.

Buyer Beware: Rented a bike for the weekend. Drove it straight home and parked it. Next morning go to the gas station and a body piece falls right off. Clearly had been broken previously as all internal snaps were broke off not just a few. The rear brake barely worked, front forks blown out. Ended up getting a flat tire that I had to pay for even though we were in range and in the 48 hours of coverage. Simply a dangerous scooter even for someone like myself who has been racing motorcycles since I was young. When I returned it, I explained the part fell right off and they did not care. Made me pay for the part. Said that I should have checked the bike and in the contract we are supposed to check it. I was unaware I needed to shake the body panels to see if they would fall off prior to renting. There were zero new scratches on the scooter or any other damage that would communicate it had been dropped, crashed, or somehow someway damaged in any way. To be clear I have been traveling and riding motor cycles and scooters all around the world for over 3 years now. I didn't want to waste any time so I just paid the fee after talking with the owner and left. The people who work there were great and responsive. Not their fault. If you are going to rent make sure to check the body panels and go for a long test ride before renting. To the management: please make sure your bikes are maintained and safe and if I find out someone else receives a bike with panels that were put back on after someone else broke them we will be having a longer conversation.
