  • Our Bicycles

    Our Bicycles have been custom made with our guests’ comfort, safety, and overall enjoyment in mind. One of the single biggest challenges of creating a bicycle tour in Vietnam is the “bicycle” part. Don’t get us wrong, there’s a whole lot of bicycles in Vietnam, but none of them were made with the foreign tourist market in mind. You see, there aren’t that many 2.1 m Vietnamese roaming the streets of the Old Quarter…


    That’s why we had or we needed built our bikes especially for our tours as picky we are in setting up our services. And we didn’t just build them larger and more sturdy, no, we had them built better! We made sure that every aspect of our bikes will benefit our guests: from the comfortable seats and the safety-first braking system, all the way to the seamless gear shift systems.


    We have gone above and beyond the norms when it come to creating our bicycles! That also goes for all the equipment surrounding our bikes, like the helmets and children seats.


    There may be other bicycle tours operating in Hanoi, but we guarantee that our bikes will make them eat dust. Frankly, the only negative thing about our bicycles is that we aren’t exporting them to Europe… yet!
