Do I need to have previous experience driving scooters or motorcycles?

If you want to rent a scooter or motorbike for your holidays in Mallorca, no matter what type of scooter or motorbike it is, you must have previous experience driving a similar scooter or motorbike .

At Vintage Motors we do not want anyone to have an accident, much less while on vacation, so it is better to avoid unnecessary risks. Mallorca is an island with considerable traffic in the more urban areas, especially in Palma.

• If you have never driven a scooter or motorbike, it is better that you do it for the first time in a driving school.
• If you think you have driven once in Bali or Phuket, we are sorry to tell you that it has nothing to do with driving a scooter or motorbike in Mallorca.
• We do not recommend renting a motorbike with considerable power if you have not ridden a similar motorcycle for some years
• If you are not in the habit of driving a motorcycle, doing it in a different country adds a plus of danger. At Vintage Motors we want to rdo business, but the last thing we want is for anyone to endanger their physical integrity.
