At Hikomoto we want to ensure safety and make sure our bikes last. Riding double can be fun, but its hard on the motor and battery. Only two riders are permitted if one rider is under 16 years old.

The bike will need to be locked at all times if left unattended. It is your responsibility to make sure this is done to decrease the likelihood of theft. All of our bikes are GPS tracked with Follo Trackers NZ so please notify us immediately in the case of theft. Please see our terms and conditions page for more information.
