We rented two scooters for our Meghalaya trip, and the overall experience was excellent. Both scooters were in good condition and performed really well on the hilly roads, uphill and downhill routes, and during long rides. The rental process was smooth, and the staff/owner was friendly, helpful, and cooperative. We didn’t face any major issues during our trip. If you’re planning to explore Meghalaya on your own, I would definitely recommend renting scooters from here. It made our trip much more convenient and enjoyable. Highly recommended! 🛵⛰️💗

The best management ever. They also a free pickup and drop to station. I rented N160 which was a brand new bike and the documentation was seamless and quick. Folks if you need a bike in GHY this is a must!!! The prices are afforadable and no hidden charges. Plus they gave me 2 helmets complimentary for a safe ride.
