Motorcycle Rental
Jul 3rd, 2009 by Leo
Want to ride for the weekend but don’t have a bike in the city? Places like LA and San Diego have had motorcycle rentals for years now, and you can rent a cruiser in over a dozen cities across the country… But how about in NYC? Now NY has its very own in Brooklyn, and another one across the river in NJ.
I haven’t tried these myself so this isn’t a review of any kind. If you check it out, come back and let us know what your experience was like. There’s a review of JuptersNYC on the NYTimes site from a couple of weeks ago.
From what I can tell these rental companies are a tad less organized than large car rental companies, and the rates generally run in the $150-$200 per day range (compared to $49/day at Enterprise in Astoria). But in return you should get a clean mid range bike, and good customer service.
So if you were sitting there thinking “I wish I had a bike to ride this weekend” get out your Class M license and head over to Brooklyn or Jersey and see you on the road! Cheers!
