Your guide to a safe and smooth ride with Hello Motor
Bali is one of the most popular destinations for travelers exploring by motorbike. From scenic coastlines to lush rice fields, riding through Bali offers unforgettable experiences. However, not all roads in Bali are perfectly paved. In many areas, especially in villages or off the beaten path location, you’ll encounter rough, uneven, or even broken roads.
If you’re planning to rent a motorbike with Hello Motor, here are some essential tips for navigating less than perfect roads safely and comfortably.
✅ 1. Choose the Right Bike
Not all bikes are created equal when it comes to handling rough terrain. At Hello Motor, we offer a range of well maintained scooters and motorbikes like the New Brand 2024-2025, which are stable and reliable even on bumpy roads. Make sure you select a bike that offers a good suspension system and comfortable seating.
✅ 2. Slow Down and Stay Focused
Riding too fast on a rough road can be dangerous. Reduce your speed when you see potholes, gravel, or uneven pavement. Keep your eyes focused ahead and avoid sudden swerving, especially when sharing the road with other vehicles.
✅ 3. Keep Both Hands on the Handlebars
Maintaining control is key. Always keep both hands firmly on the handlebars and be ready to adjust your balance. This is especially important on winding or uphill roads, which are common in some parts of Bali.
✅ 4. Use Both Brakes Wisely
Rough roads require careful braking. Use both front and rear brakes gradually to avoid skidding. Sudden braking on gravel or dirt roads can cause the scooter to slip.
✅ 5. Watch Out for Dogs and Chickens
In Bali’s rural areas, it’s common to see animals crossing the road. Always ride with extra caution, especially in early mornings or near rice paddies. Stay alert and ready to brake at any moment.
✅ 6. Wear Proper Gear
No matter the weather, safety comes first. Always wear a helmet (included in all Hello Motor rentals), closed shoes, and protective clothing. It’s also a good idea to wear sunglasses or a visor to protect your eyes from dust or flying debris on rural roads.
✅ 7. Avoid Riding at Night on Unknown Roads
Many smaller roads in Bali are poorly lit at night. If you’re unfamiliar with the area or planning to explore off grid locations, try to finish your trip before dark. Riding in daylight offers better visibility and a more enjoyable experience overall.
✅ 8. Check Your Bike Before Every Ride
Before heading out, do a quick check: brakes, lights, horn, and tire pressure. At Hello Motor, all our scooters are inspected before rental, but a quick pre-ride check can give you extra peace of mind.
