By Bike & Moped in St. Martin and St. Maarten

By Bike & Moped

Though traffic can be heavy, road speeds are generally slow, so a moped can be a good way to get around. Parking is easy, filling the tank with gas is affordable, and you've got that sea breeze in your hair. Scooters rent for as low as EUR 25 per day and motorbikes for EUR 37 a day at Eugene Moto, on the French side. At Go Scoot the bikes are in good repair and the counter clerks are helpful. If you're in the mood for a more substantial bike, contact the Harley-Davidson dealer, on the Dutch side, where you can rent a big hog for $150 a day or $900 per week.
