04-10-2011, 11:47 AMHi,
I have a good friend of mine coming to visit me for one week and I would like to show him the countryside on a bike.
Are there any places to rent a bike in Shanghai or nearby? (I do have the chinese motorbike driving license but aint go a bike so far).
Any ideas?
ThanksLast edited by Maxiu; 04-11-2011 at 02:31 AM.

Corrected see Bruce's Motorcycles based in Shanghai...
Depending on the duration of the rental I think you'd be better of buying unless you can strike a private deal with someone. I've a used JinJian Startrek 125cc scooter in absolutely good condition available for sale for a good price if you are interested.Last edited by bikerdoc; 05-04-2011 at 02:49 AM.

When i was in Hunan i wanted to rent a bike. I just went up to a bunch of guys hanging out on their bikes on the side of the road and asked if they would rent one out to me. They didn't care that i had a license, thy just said if i put up the price of the bike as a deposit they were cool with it. Frankly they seemed like honest people, but didn't have the balls to go through with it. Just sayin.

04-17-2011, 12:36 AMHere in Kunming about 3 or 4 mechanics down at the parts market have a bunch of bikes sitting out their shop, I'm sure they're for rent. A rider from Beijing came to Kunming 4 months ago and we struck a deal with one mechanic to rent a bike for 3 weeks. Bike had number plates, insurance and dead slow in a donkey like fashion. He paid 5000 rmb for rent and deposit(2500 was for rent). When he came back, he got his deposit and a nice riding leather jacket, worth ~1000.
YMMV, but I would try mechanics first. Also, not what you're looking for but worth a mention here http://www.shanghaisideways.com/

Following up on this post... there's a guy going by the name Bruce King who has a motorcycle rental business (can't vouch for it in any way) that has some motorscooters and small mototcycles for rent in Shanghai.
