Hello,
I m looking to rent a gas scooter or small motorbike, for some days. I will be in Kunming next week.
Ive found this thread, but it s 3 years old, does anyone know if this guy is still there or if there s other one where it s possible to rent a scoote (50cc) just to go around Kunming.

so what ever you do have fun and have a good time in china but allways drive safe
Thanks for your help prince !
is a e bike ? electric bike ?
You don t need driving licence to drive a bike under 50cc no? I m ok with a 50cc, but the electric bike is not fangbian ...

not sure if the city you are going to is a dry city which dont allow bikes .or e-bikes so please check and most of the time when the city is a dry city it is only in some areas you cant ride i am sure when you get there you will soon find out and hopefully sorts matter out if you have some chinese friends who you can talik to locally that will be best but whatever you decide to do remember the road and driving in china is very different from other places in the world so be carefull
I ve also found that

but not really helpful.
If someone have more suggestion.
OK these guys will take you on tours there say which is legal these guy will not rent you a bike to go of on tours by your self ??? it does not mean when on a tour with these guys you have a legal DL it just means these guy will sort out the police if you get stopQuote:

So if someone have a contact, thank you.
