Bike Hire - South Africa
 

I am thinking about hiring a bike in February to travel between Jo'burg and Cape Town (or do the journey in the opposite direction) to ride along the Garden route. It'll only be a quick journey (5 days) and I was hoping to pick up in one city and drop off in the other.

Is it possible to do this?

And, if so, do you know of any cmpanies that will provide one-way bike hire?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I have the email address of a BMW dealer/rental company in South Africa. I don't know if they have what you want but it's a start.
Good luck with your trip.

I changed "@" in the email in "-at-" so spammers can't use it automaticly. To send mail you have to change it back.
Here's the address: colin.gallop-at-bmwdealer.co.za

Although I haven't rented from them, you can try Moto Berlin, who are based in both Cape Town and Joburg.

Or contact Mitaka at www.mitaka.co.za

They have branches in Cape Town and Jo'burg. Reasonable and variety of bikes - Vespas to Harleys to Beemers

Did it happen? If so any further info.
I am thinking of heading for SA, Jo'berg and hiring a bike to ride to Botswana in August

I have been to South Africa, but... I didn't do the trip as planned, unfortunately. There seem to be several bike hire places available but I didn't feel comfortable biking around on my own in a strange country/continent.

Hey Rachel, pity you couldn't do your trip.maybe next time. Julian, if you don't go to Botswana perhaps eastward to Mpumalanga/ Kruger Park area. pop in for a beer.

Will look you up on the map for the free beer.
Have family in Jo'berg and francistown so will have to make it to them in the four weeks.
Hope to be off on July the 25th for 4 and half weeks.

Julian

Pity you did not do the trip Rachel. Hope you enjoyed South Africa though.

Off to South Africa on July 26th for 31 days. Hired a bike from Motorrad Executive Systems Jo'burg. Very fast and extremely helpful.
Just 3 months to wait.

I searched google for MES but no go, could you please provide link to them?
TIA!
