Turn Your Favorite Ride Into Income: How to List a Motorcycle Tour on Riders Share

Aug 16, 2025

If you’ve ever finished a ride and thought more people should get to experience it, you’re probably onto something. A lot of experienced riders already know the best backroads, the most scenic pull-offs, and those hidden local stops that make a ride memorable. Riders Share gives you a way to turn that into something more by creating a motorcycle tour others can book and enjoy. You don’t need to be a professional guide or plan something over the top. If you’ve got a route, some local know-how, and a little time, you’re already most of the way there. Below, we’ll show you how to list your ride, structure the experience, and start earning on your own terms.

Why Riders Share Is the Place to Host a Motorcycle Tour

Riders Share is already built around a community of people who love to ride, and many of them come to the platform looking to rent a bike while traveling or trying something new in their own area. That means you're not starting from scratch or trying to track down your audience–they’re already here and looking for something local to do. Some are visiting a new city and want to see it through a rider’s eyes, while others are planning a group outing or just want a different route to explore over the weekend. By listing your motorcycle tour on Riders Share, you're giving them exactly what they’re looking for, without needing to build your own website or pay for promotion. The best part? There are no fees or subscriptions, and you earn money every time someone books your ride.

What Kind of Experiences Can You Offer?

Most riders who list an experience on Riders Share usually go with one of two options. It really just comes down to how involved you want to be and what kind of ride you feel like sharing.

• Option 1: Guided motorcycle tours, motorcycle classes, or skills sessions
• Option 2: Routes you already ride, or create something new

Some riders like being hands-on by leading a group, offering tips throughout the ride, or teaching a basic skills session. If you enjoy showing people around and being part of the experience from start to finish, this option gives you the space to do that. Others keep it more relaxed by sharing a route they already know well or creating something new to explore with others. You’re still hosting the ride and can join in, but the focus is more on sharing a fun local route than guiding or instructing the whole time.

What You Need Know Before Listing a Motorcycle Tour

Getting ready to list a motorcycle tour on Riders Share? You don’t need a license to guide or teach, and you won’t be dealing with complicated paperwork or red tape. Here’s what you’ll need to know before getting started:

• No special licenses required: You don’t need any kind of tour guide certification to host. All that’s required is a valid government-issued ID, which Riders Share will verify during a quick account check. As long as you meet the platform’s basic hosting requirements, you're good to go.
• You’re not responsible for providing the bike: Riders will typically show up on their own rental from Riders Share, so there’s no pressure to supply a motorcycle. You’re just responsible for the route, the ride, and any extras you choose to include.
• You can offer more than just motorcycle rides: Tours aren’t limited to motorcycles, so if your experience involves slingshots, ATVs, or other street-legal powersports vehicles, you can list those too. Just make sure it follows your local road laws and the platform’s terms.
• Built-in liability protections: Every rider booking through Riders Share agrees to a liability waiver, which helps protect you as a host. You’ll also review a few platform requirements when listing your experience, including safety expectations, group size guidelines, and what to do in case of cancellations or weather delays.

How to List a Motorcycle Tour on Riders Share

Before you can post a motorcycle tour, you’ll need to have a Riders Share account set up. Once you're logged in, head to the main motorcycle tours page and click List an Experience. That’s where the listing process begins, and from there, you’ll be walked through each step to get your tour up and running.

Step 1: Starting with General Details

This first step is all about laying the groundwork. You'll start by choosing the type of experience you're offering, like a guided tour, a riding class, or another type of service. Then, give your experience a clear and simple title that riders will see when browsing. You can also add an estimated mileage if you want, though that part’s optional. Lastly, you’ll be asked whether guests need to bring their own motorcycle or if one will be provided. Just check the option that fits how your experience is set up.

Step 2: Writing the Tour Description

Now it’s time to describe what your motorcycle tour is all about. This is where you’ll write up the details of the experience so riders know what to expect. Talk through the route, how long it takes, what the vibe of the ride is, and anything else that makes it worth booking. You’ll also have space to list what guests should bring, like gear or water, and what you’ll be providing, if anything. This part helps riders feel prepared, so keep it clear and friendly.

Step 3: Pricing & Discounts

This step is where you’ll set the price for your motorcycle tour and decide how many guests you want to host at one time. You’ll start by choosing a per-person rate, then set a maximum number of guests if you’d like to keep the group small. You can also offer group discounts to encourage larger bookings, which can help you earn more in a single ride. If you want to allow private group bookings, there’s an option to set a minimum price for that too. For holidays or special events, you can adjust your pricing directly on the calendar so it fits whatever you have planned.

Step 4: Adding Photos & Video

This is your chance to show riders what your tour looks like in real life. Upload a few clear photos that give people a feel for the route, the scenery, or even past rides you’ve hosted. If you have a YouTube video, you can add that too to give riders an even better look at what to expect. Don’t forget to star your favorite photo, since that’s the one that will show up as the cover image when people are browsing through search results. A strong visual goes a long way in helping your tour stand out.

Step 5: Starting Location

You'll be asked to enter the address where your tour begins. This helps riders know exactly where to meet up on the day of the ride. Just type in the starting location, whether it’s a parking lot, gas station, or another easy-to-find spot. For privacy and safety, the address gets slightly adjusted when it’s shown to the public, so your exact location won’t be visible until someone books.

Step 6: Offering a Final Schedule & Availability

Next, you’ll set the schedule for your tour and let riders know how long it usually takes. Start by adding the estimated duration so guests can plan their day around it. Then choose how you want to handle bookings. You can stick with set start times, let guests request their own, or customize it based on your availability. The calendar tool makes it easy to block off days, adjust timing, or make changes whenever you need to.

Step 7: Editing the Cancellation Policy

Here, you’ll choose the cancellation policy that works best for your tour. There are a few options to pick from, and each one affects how flexible your bookings will be. The flexible policy is the most popular and often leads to more bookings since it allows riders to cancel up to one day before the tour for a full refund. NOTE: If they cancel any later than that, you’ll still earn 25 percent of your payout.

The moderate option gives guests up to seven days to cancel for a full refund, and anything after that earns you 50 percent. Then there’s the strict policy, which is best if you want stronger protection. Guests who cancel within 30 days are still responsible for the full payment, though it still allows for a full refund under certain conditions. Think about how far in advance you plan your rides, how much flexibility you’re comfortable with, and choose the policy that makes the most sense for you.

Final Steps

Once you’ve gone through all the steps and filled everything out, your listing will be saved but not live just yet. It stays paused until you’re ready. When everything looks good and you're ready to share it with other riders, just click Save and Publish. That’s when your motorcycle tour officially goes live and becomes available for bookings!

Tips to Promote Your Motorcycle Tour and Get Bookings

Once your motorcycle tour is live, getting that first booking might feel like the hard part. But truthfully, it doesn’t take much to start building momentum. Riders are already browsing the platform looking for something interesting to do, and with a few small tweaks, your listing can catch their attention without a ton of extra work. Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Add a personal touch to your listing bio: Riders want to know who they’re booking with. Even just a sentence or two about why you love this route or how long you’ve been riding can help your listing feel more trustworthy.
• Mention your tour in person when you're out riding: If you’re already part of a local group or tend to strike up conversations with other riders at gas stops or bike nights, bring it up casually. A quick “I’ve actually got this route listed on Riders Share” can turn into your next booking.
• Send the link to people who actually ride: Post it in your group chat, drop it in a Facebook group, or send it to a few friends you ride with. Most riders are always down to try something new, and a quick share can go further than you think.
• Use the calendar to list dates for special rides: If you’re planning something tied to an event, holiday, or even just great weather, add a few scheduled tour dates to your calendar. That little bit of structure helps guests commit and gives your listing a boost in visibility.

The more information and personality you add to your listing, the more likely riders are to trust it and book. Keep things updated, respond to any messages quickly, and don’t be afraid to make small tweaks over time to help it stand out.
