Motorbike Lesson in Hanoi





Description
Our proven method starts in a quiet, controlled practice area where you'll master the fundamentals: balancing, braking, and control. Once you're comfortable, your personal instructor guides you onto real Hanoi streets, teaching you to read the flow of traffic, not fight it. It's less about rules and more about rhythm. Why Us? Unlike other schools, we focus on the unique challenges tourists face. Our lessons are your first step to unlocking epic adventures like the Ha Giang Loop or simply the freedom to find that hidden coffee shop everyone misses. We don't just teach you to ride; we give you the keys to a more authentic Vietnamese experience. Our small but mighty team is famous for patience, professionalism, and creating a fun, supportive environment. All safety equipment is provided. Book your lesson today and trade the passenger seat for the handlebars of your own adventure.

Ha was amazing!!! I had a really good experience learning here. The instructor was patient, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable riding for the first time. I improved a lot in just one lesson and would definitely recommend them. 10/10 experience my confidence on a bike is so much better would definitely recommend for backpackers. Thank you!!!!
Incredible experience learning to drive with this company! They teach it very well and always have a smile on your face. The instructor even gave us an awesome food recommendation after.
A really positive experience all round from contacting them to organising the classes through to finishing feeling happy and confident that I can make my way around Hanoi and its notorious traffic independently and safely. A great team and an excellent instructor in Thoa who also happens to be great company. Fully recommend.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! I’m really glad you felt confident enough to take on the traffic here independently. That's a huge milestone! It was a pleasure being your instructor and I'm happy you enjoyed the company along the way. Safe riding out there in the Hanoi flow! Big hugs from me (Thao) and the whole Chicks 'n Bikes team! 💛🖤💛
I had such an amazing experience with Chicks n Bikes Hanoi! Before the lesson, I felt quite nervous about riding, but they made me feel safe, supported, and confident from the very beginning. The teaching was so clear and patient, and everything was explained in a way that made it feel easy and natural. By the end of the lesson, I was actually enjoying riding and felt completely comfortable on the bike. It was not only super helpful but also so much fun. I’m really grateful for this experience and would 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to ride in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We are really glad we could turn those nerves into confidence for you. Seeing you go from feeling nervous to actually having fun on the bike is the best part of the job! Enjoy that new sense of freedom on the road and stay safe out there. Big hugs from me (Thao) and the whole Chicks 'n Bikes team! 💛🖤💛
I’ve had two lessons so far and both with Thao. He’s kind, funny and patient. He encourages and talks me off the “ledge” when I just want to give up. Even the smallest step he counts as a win and I’m grateful. He makes sure I understand the mechanics of the bike and is empathetic to my needs and lack of experience. In (2)-2 hour lessons I’ve learned a lot (fell twice) and will continue to take lessons.
Thank you so much! It’s been a real pleasure working with you. We know it’s tough when things get frustrating, but those "falls" are just part of the journey—I'm so proud of you for not giving up and for celebrating every win with me. You're doing great with the mechanics, and your progress in just four hours is no small feat! See you at the next lesson for more wins. We've got this! Big hugs from me (Thao) and the whole Chicks 'n Bikes team! 💛🖤💛
Just did a crash course for 3.5 hours with my lovely instructor Mia. She spoke great English and is incredibly patient and encouraging. I had a fall and she was very reassuring and took great care of me to make me feel comfortable. Perfect course for ladies who prefer 1 to 1 coaching at your own
Couldn’t be better. Excellent and patient instructor, great food and a surprisingly cultural tour of Hanoi as the day went on. I’ve ridden a moped once before in my life and by the end we were threading through central Hanoi and further afield feeling safe and confident. Excellent training ground to start and clear advice. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi as an experience or to find your feet on a moped (it’s less chaotic than it looks from the pavement). Thanks so much 😄😄
Thanks so much for the kind words! 😄 We are so glad you felt safe and confident enough to thread through the city center by the end of the day. It’s always fun showing people that Hanoi traffic is actually a lot less chaotic once you're in the middle of it! We are happy you enjoyed the food and the cultural stops along the way too. Safe riding on your next adventure! Big hugs from me (Thao) and the whole Chicks 'n Bikes team! 💛🖤💛
I had the BEST experience ever with Chicks n Bikes! From the very start, they were so welcoming, friendly, and professional — such an awesome company to deal with. My instructor, Thao, was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly patient, super knowledgeable, and explained everything so clearly and thoroughly that I felt confident straight away. I couldn’t believe I was already out on the road during my first lesson, practicing turns and actually riding — such a huge confidence boost! The whole experience was fun, supportive, and empowering. I honestly cannot recommend Chicks and Bikes enough — if you’re thinking about learning to ride, this is 100% the place to do it! 🏍️✨
Thanks so much for the awesome review! I’m really glad we got you out on the road so quickly—seeing that "first lesson" confidence boost is exactly why I love doing this. It was a blast having you here! Hope to see you cruising around Hanoi soon. Ride safe! Big hugs from me (Thao) and the whole Chicks 'n Bikes team! 💛🖤💛
I had a great time brushing up on my skills. The instructor was full of energy and was very informative and took me through each step in a clear way - and now I feel a lot more confident. You start in a car park and if you feel confident enough you can progress to driving around more quiet streets in Hanoi but there is no pressure to, you can take it at your own pace.
Thanks for the great feedback! I’m so glad the step-by-step approach helped build your confidence. It was a blast having you in the course! We always want people to feel zero pressure, so I'm happy you enjoyed learning at your own pace. Safe riding out there! Big hugs from me (Thao) and the whole Chicks 'n Bikes team! 💛🖤💛
Really great way to spend a morning! Had a fun time riding around the lake after getting an intro & practise run! Excellent for a first timer… and great way to get a flavour of the Tay Ho area!
We are so glad you had such a fun time exploring the West Lake area with us! Tay Ho is the perfect place to get a "flavor" of Hanoi, and we love that our intro and practice run gave you the confidence to enjoy it as a first-timer. Helping people see the city from a different perspective is exactly why we do what we do! Big hugs from the Chicks n Bikes Team! 💛🖤💛
