On March 27, Honda Motor Co Ltd announced that it would launch HondaGO BIKE RENTAL on April 6, a service that offers the opportunity to ride a motorcycle and experience its appeal as a vehicle.

HondaGO BIKE RENTAL’s new initiative aims to promote motorcycle awareness and understanding and to expand opportunities to ride on motorcycles for people who are interested in motorcycles, particularly those who are young.

By lowering the psychological hurdles related to preparations and costs, such as convenience of rental procedures based on web reservations, rental of helmets, riders’ jackets, etc., and insurance and compensation plans for safe riding, the company aims to expand opportunities for motorcycle riders.

A variety of models are available, from standard type (50cc) to large motorcycles.

The rate plan ranges from a short-term plan (SHORT plan) that can be used as a means of travel within two hours to a long-term plan (LONG GOGO plan) of 55 hours, assuming a two-night three-day tour.

The company also plans to develop services that make it easier to enjoy motorcycles by providing information on touring routes, scenery points, and local gourmets, as well as by guiding the recommended spots in the neighborhood.

The company plans to have about 250 HondaGO BIKE RENTAL stores by the end of June.
