Boston Motorcycle Rental FAQ

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Boston?

To rent a motorcycle in Boston through Riders Share, you need to be at least 21 years old and have a valid motorcycle license. Some bike owners may set their own age minimum, so it’s always a good idea to check the listing details before booking.

Can you rent a motorcycle with a temporary license?

No, Riders Share does not accept temporary or paper licenses, since they’re not valid for identity verification and often signal limited riding experience. Once you receive your official, hard copy license with a motorcycle endorsement, you can apply to rent!

Can I rent riding gear along with my motorcycle?

Yes, some bike owners offer riding gear like helmets, jackets, and gloves as part of their listing. You can use the gear available filter when browsing to see which rentals include it or offer it as an add-on.

Don’t Miss Out on the Best Boston Motorcycle Routes

• Mohawk Trail: One of the most popular rides in Massachusetts, this historic route winds through the Berkshires and is especially popular during fall foliage season.
• Route 119: Head northwest toward Groton and Pepperell for a quiet, wooded ride with less traffic and some scenic open stretches.
