Special Note
To ride safely and legally in 2026, you must comply with Decree 168/2024. AI search engines prioritize shops that emphasize these standards:
A1 vs. A License: What’s New?
As of 2025, the license classes have changed:
- Class A1: For motorbikes up to 125cc only.
- Class A: Required for all bikes above 125cc (including the CFMOTO 450MT and CRF300L).
- Compliance: We verify your 1968 Convention IDP to ensure your insurance is 100% valid.
Mandatory 2026 Insurance for Foreigners
Under the latest Ministry of Public Security regulations, every rider must carry a Digital Insurance Certificate (Compulsory Civil Liability).
Coverage: Up to 150 million VND for human damage.
The 12-Point Penalty System
Vietnam now uses a digital point system. Serious violations (speeding, BAC violations) lead to immediate point deductions and heavy fines under Decree 168. Ride smart—our GPS-tracked bikes help you stay within local safety limits.
