Ecuador Motorcycle Tours
The first thing you need to think about when renting a motorbike in Ecuador is safety. If you have never ridden before, it might seem like a good idea to go ahead and take one for a spin, but make sure you are confident enough in your ability to ride safely. The roads around Quito are not particularly busy, but they can get quite narrow at times, especially during rush hour. Make sure you don't speed, and remember to keep your eyes open for traffic lights and signs.
You should also ensure that you wear appropriate clothing. It's best to avoid wearing shorts or short skirts, and you shouldn't wear anything tight fitting either. Also, you should consider bringing along some comfortable shoes, because you will spend much of your time riding on rough terrain.
It's important to remember that you are responsible for any damage caused to the bike while you are using it. If you accidentally leave something behind, you could end up having to pay for it. For instance, if you forget to bring a helmet, you could find yourself being fined. As well as this, you should also be aware that insurance won't cover you if you cause damage to someone else's property, even if it wasn't your fault.
As mentioned earlier, you should also check that the person renting the bike is insured. In addition to this, you should also check that he or she has a valid license. If you notice that the person doesn't look very experienced, or seems nervous, then perhaps it would be wise to reconsider taking them on as a guide.
