Hai Van at golden hour. The bike to do it justice.
The pass at dawn, Son Tra's switchbacks, a long slow run back down My Khe — this is a city that repays having your own wheels. A couple of things here catch visitors out, and you should hear them from us rather than at the roadside: tell Kai which country issued your licence and in about ninety seconds you know exactly what is yours to ride, delivered to your hotel. Nothing paid, no card left.

Big bikes, sport, touring & licence-free electrics Delivered to your hotel One honest all-in price
Big bikes need a 1968 IDP — Kai checks first, and always finds you a legal ride.
The bikes Kai quotes
What you can ride in Da Nang, in order
Grouped by what it takes to ride each one, starting with the machines that need no licence at all. Sport bikes, adventure machines and premium tourers need a 1968 permit with the right category. Every price is all-inclusive: helmets, delivery and support.
Tell Kai which country issued your licence and he'll narrow this to the ones that are actually yours.
With a full A licence and a 1968 IDP
Everything above 125cc, up to the flagships.
With an A1 licence and a 1968 IDP
Scooters up to 125cc. Kai reads the category printed on the permit before any of these is quoted.
No licence, no IDP — yours whatever your country issued
Legal for every nationality. We check the model against both limits the law sets, 4 kW and 50 km/h, since much of what gets rented as licence-free fails the second one.
E-scooter ≤4kW/≤50km/h
Yadea G5 Lite (electric)
Quiet electric for the My Khe beach road.
Ask Kai about this bikeBefore you take anyone's keys
The scooter you were offered as “no licence needed” — does it actually qualify?
Vietnamese law sets two limits, and a machine has to clear both: a design speed of no more than 50 km/h and a motor of no more than 4 kW. Most of the market checks the power and ignores the speed. Here is the list, using each manufacturer's own published figures. Take it to whichever shop you are standing in.
Clears both limits
- VinFast Evo200 Lite49 km/h · 1.5 kW
- VinFast Klara (lead-acid)45 km/h
- Yadea G5 Lite50 km/h · 1.2 kW
- Yadea Oris49 km/h · 1.2 kW
- Honda ICON e49 km/h · 1.81 kW
Needs an A1 licence
- VinFast Evo20070 km/h
- VinFast Klara S 202278 km/h · 3 kW
- VinFast Feliz S78 km/h
- VinFast Vento S90 km/h · 5.2 kW
- VinFast Theon S99 km/h · 7.1 kW
- Yadea G552 km/h
- Yadea G5S80 km/h
- Yadea S354 km/h
- Pega NewTech60 km/h
- Honda UC380 km/h · 6 kW
The pairs that catch people out
- VinFast Evo200 Lite is licence-free. VinFast Evo200 is not. Same name, same silhouette, 49 against 70 km/h.
- Yadea G5 Lite is licence-free. Yadea G5 is not. Same name, same silhouette, 50 against 52 km/h.
A listing that says only “VinFast Klara” is naming a family that runs from 45 to 78 km/h, which tells you nothing about the machine you will actually be handed. Ask for the exact trim, and ask to see the registration.
Both electrics Kai quotes are the Lite versions, and we publish their figures next to the price: the VinFast Evo200 Lite at 1.5 kW and 49 km/h, the Yadea G5 Lite at 1.2 kW and 50 km/h. If you would rather check a scooter someone else is offering, tell Kai the model and he will read it off the maker's spec for you. You do not have to rent anything to ask.
Figures are each manufacturer's own published specification, checked September 2026. This is general information, not legal advice.

Plan this ride with KaiDa Nang rewards range: a nimble automatic scooter handles the city and the beach road, while Hai Van and Son Tra are sweeter on a maxi-scooter or an adventure bike. Anything over 50cc here legally needs a 1968 IDP (or, for a few countries, a licence agreement with Vietnam) — Kai checks yours first and, if it doesn't qualify, puts you on a licence-free premium electric instead.

Why rent a motorbike in Da Nang?
Da Nang sits between the Hai Van Pass, Son Tra, the Marble Mountains and Hoi An — all of it best on two wheels, none of it well-served by taxis. We deliver your bike to your hotel, tell you honestly what's legal for your licence, and stay one message away the whole trip. No passport held, no fabricated-damage games, one transparent price.
Ride safe — and enjoy every kilometre.
Our standard
Papers before keys.
Not a certificate and not an award — a rule we hold ourselves to, and one you can hold us to. In Vietnam a ride is legal or not legal as a pair: this rider, on this machine. So we check both, in that order, before anything is quoted: you against the treaty tables, and the model against the maker's published figures.
First — you
Before a single bike is discussed, we work out what you may legally ride in Da Nang: which licence you hold, whether you carry an International Driving Permit, and which convention issued it. Vietnam recognises the 1968 Vienna permit and, for Korean riders, a Korean permit with the category A stamp under a 2023 bilateral agreement. If the answer limits you, we say so plainly rather than handing you keys and wishing you luck.
Then — the machine
A model name is not proof of anything. The licence-free class has two limits at once — rated power of 4 kW or under and a design speed of 50 km/h or under — and manufacturers sell near-identical trims on both sides of that line. So we check each licence-free model Kai quotes by its exact trim, against both limits in the maker's published figures. At handover, ask to see the registration papers of the exact bike you are given, before you ride.
What this is not: a government certification, a guarantee that nothing can go wrong, or a promise that you will never be stopped. Ordinary traffic rules still apply to everyone — helmet, phone, lanes, lights. This is us being answerable for the two things that are actually ours to get right.
