Why rent a motorcycle?

Great question! We think that there's nothing better than exploring a new place (or even somewhere you are already familiar with) on a motorcycle, and South Africa is of course no exception.

A motorcycle is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating ways of getting around, and really lets you get in touch with a place in a way that few, if any, other forms of transport allow. This might be because you are actually out and exposed to the elements in a way that being in a car or most other forms of transport prevent, or it might be the simple but enduring thrill of the wind over your body. It might also be the forces acting on you as you make a corner or accelerate down a hill, but overall there is something about being out and about on a motorcycle both takes you away from your troubles, but also simultaneously roots you to the place you are in. Your memories of the place you are exploring will likely be tied in with your bike and memories of the open road. It truly is all about the trip rather than the destination on many motorbike tours.

Furthermore, motorcycles are one of the greenest ways to get around. They're hardly perfect, like any form of transport, but you can be safe in the knowledge that you're not utterly spoiling the place you're visiting quite like the hordes of people in their cars, buses and taxis. Tied in with this is the affordability aspect of a motorcycle – compared to other forms of transport like cars, or even public transport (which can be incredibly expensive in many countries these days), motorcycles are very reasonable to run as they use a tiny amount of fuel vs most other ways of getting around. Additionally, the rental costs tend to be pretty modest too, as to put it bluntly a motorcycle tends to be a relatively economical machine to manufacture, which of course feeds into the prices the rental agents charge. And finally, parking tends to be far cheaper as well, if there is any charge at all.

We hope that by making it easy to rent a motorcycle in South Africa we can encourage more and more motorcycle use around the world, which should lead to better infrastructure and more awareness from other road users. Interestingly, hiring a motorbike on a trip abroad is becoming more and more popular with time, so we hope that by making it easy to compare and rent online this trend will continue to accelerate.

Another very good reason to rent a motorcycle is the fact that biking is good for both your physical and your mental health, which cannot be said for many other common ways of getting around (bicycling and walking excluded, of course). As noted above, biking is a fantastic way to 'put you in the moment', which is of course commonly regarded as one of the best ways to improve you mental health. This is because you do not dwell on future or past worries, and you are able to switch off repetitive thinking. Instead, you focus only on what is going on around you, which is very rejuvenating and refreshing for your brain.

Motorcycling is also good for your body, at least versus practically all other forms of transport, as you are having to use sheer strength to turn the bike round corners. Moreover, pushing and holding the heavy bike at slow speeds also has health benefits and acts as a form of resistance exercise; it certainly requires far more energy than simply sitting in a car, train or bus.

Hopefully we have demonstrated just a few of the reasons to rent a motorcycle. Let We Can Help With assist you with comparing motorbike hire in South Africa, and pick an affordable motorcycle today!
