Booking and pick-up
How do I book a bike?
Call or message us on WhatsApp at +977 9815139239 with the bike you want and your dates. Contact us for availability and prices.
Where are you located?
Hallan Chowk, Lakeside, Pokhara, Gandaki Province 33700, Nepal.
Do you deliver the bike to my hotel?
It is best to visit our office, because we have to complete the paperwork and documentation before we hand over the motorbike or scooter. Delivery is available only in the off-season and only inside the Lakeside area. You need to give us notice in advance, and it depends on staff availability.
Can I rent a bike for just one day or for several weeks?
Yes. We rent by the day, and many riders keep a bike for a week or longer for tours. Tell us your dates and we will confirm availability and price.
Can I extend my rental?
Yes, if the bike is free. Message us before your rental ends so we can confirm the extra days.
Can I rent in Pokhara and drop the bike in another city (one way trip)?
Yes, one way rentals are possible with a certain charge. Message us for pricing.
What is your cancellation policy?
Once a deposit is made and the trip is confirmed, it cannot be cancelled and the deposit is non refundable. If something sudden happens, we can reschedule your dates and you can use the same deposit on new dates, after we check availability. Please contact us immediately. If you do not show up on your start date without notice, we cannot offer a reschedule.
Prices and payment
How much does it cost to rent a bike per day?
The price depends on the bike, the dates and how many days you ride, and longer rentals are usually cheaper per day. Message us the bike and dates on WhatsApp and we will send you a clear price.
Do you need a deposit?
Yes, we ask for a small cash deposit. We do not keep original passports or any original documents. Message us when you book and we will confirm the deposit amount before you ride.
How do I pay?
We confirm the payment options with you on WhatsApp when you book.
Is fuel included in the rental price?
Fuel is paid by the rider. Pick up the bike with the tank level we show you and bring it back the same way. Petrol stations are easy to find around Pokhara.
Documents and insurance
What documents do I need to rent a bike?
A valid motorcycle licence from your home country, an International Driving Permit and your passport. Please send photos of these when you book so we can have everything ready.
Do I need an International Driving Permit?
Yes. Bring your home licence together with an International Driving Permit. Message us if you are unsure what applies to you.
Is insurance included?
Please bring your own travel insurance that covers motorbike riding. For Mustang and Manang trips we recommend insurance that includes emergency rescue. We do not provide full insurance for the rider or the bike. Only third party insurance, with certain limitations, is provided, and only to IDP holders.

Can beginners rent a bike?
If you are new to riding, the TVS Ntorq 125 scooter or the Royal Enfield Classic 350 are the easiest to start on. The larger adventure bikes are best for experienced riders.
Can two people ride on one bike?
Yes, all of our motorbikes can carry two people. Some are more comfortable than others, depending on the type of bike, your luggage and where you are riding. If you are not sure which bike will suit you best, ask us and we will suggest one.
How well are the motorbikes maintained and how old are they?
We carry out a proper inspection and maintenance after every trip. Our own mechanic maintains all our motorbikes, and a second team double checks each bike when it comes back to our office from the garage. None of our bikes is older than 2 years for small bikes and 3 years for bigger bikes. We replace every bike once it reaches that age.
Helmets and gear
What do I get with the bike?
Every bike comes with helmets for the rider and the pillion, a mobile phone holder and a bungee cord to tie luggage on the rear rack. Riding gear (jacket, pants, boots and gloves) is available to rent if you need it.
Do you provide a helmet?
Yes, we provide helmets with the bike, for the rider and the pillion. The price is already included in the rental rate. Please wear it on every ride. Even if you have not brought any riding gear, do not worry, we have got you. We have riding gear for rent as well.
Can I rent riding gear from Aone Rental?
Yes. You can rent a riding jacket, riding pants, riding boots and riding gloves. Message us your sizes and dates when you book.
Riding in Nepal
Is it safe to ride in Pokhara and the hills?
Yes, with care. Traffic drives on the left, roads in the hills can be steep, wet or rough, and weather changes fast. Ride slowly, wear a helmet and avoid riding at night. We can give you route tips when you pick up the bike.
What is the best time of year to ride in Nepal?
October to November and March to May are the most popular months, with clearer skies and mild weather. The monsoon from June to September brings rain and slippery, landslide-prone roads.
What are the recommended riding destinations from Pokhara?
Ghandruk, Lower Mustang, Manang, Upper Mustang, Bandipur, Lumbini and Chitwan.
What if the bike breaks down or I have an accident?
Call or WhatsApp us on +977 9815139239 straight away and tell us where you are. We will help you sort it out. Check the bike with us at pick-up and take photos so we both know its condition.
Mustang, permits and tours
Can I take a rental bike to Mustang or the Manang region?
Many of our riders take our bikes on longer trips from Pokhara, including Mustang and the Manang region. Message us your route and dates and we will recommend the right bike.
Can you apply for ACAP and other area permits for us?
Yes. When you confirm the motorbike, tell us you would like us to manage your permits as well, and they will be ready before you arrive.
We ride our own motorbikes and only need a licensed guide and permits for Upper Mustang. Do you organize such groups?
Yes. Even if you are not renting a bike from us, we organize guided trips with a mechanic included. Message us your group size, dates and route and we will arrange the guide and permits.
Can we start our guided motorbike tour from Kathmandu, as our flight is landing in Kathmandu?
Yes, but only for big groups taking our full package guided trip program. We will transfer our fleet. As our company is Pokhara based, we mostly start and end our tours in Pokhara.
