Small, light, and totally stress-free — the SYM Shark 50cc is the easiest bike in our Hoi An fleet, and you can ride it legally without a driving licence or IDP. For just 200,000₫ per day this little 50cc bike gives you free helmets, unlimited mileage, and the freedom to explore the Ancient Town at your own pace.
Why Riders Choose the SYM Shark 50cc
🪶 Featherweight handling — at only 100 kg with a low seat, it is effortless to park, turn around, and balance — even on your very first ride.
🪪 No licence required — under Vietnamese traffic law, scooters under 50cc may be ridden without a driving licence. Perfect if you have no IDP.
⛽ Sips fuel — around 1.97 L/100 km, so the 5-litre tank covers several days of relaxed sightseeing.
🛵 “SH mini” style — a 2025-generation model with large 14-inch wheels for stable, confident handling on town roads.

Do I Need a Licence to Ride It?
No. Vietnamese law allows riders aged 16+ to use motorbikes under 50cc without any driving licence — which is exactly why the Shark is our most popular choice for travellers without an International Driving Permit. Our rental policy requires riders to be at least 18 years old, and a helmet is mandatory at all times (we provide them free).
What’s Included in 200,000₫/day
- 2 free helmets (3/4 with visor), raincoat, phone holder & motorbike lock
- Unlimited mileage + 1 litre of petrol to get you started
- Free weekend pickup & drop-off — open 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, every day

Pick up free at our shop, 84 Phan Chau Trinh, Hoi An — or we deliver to your hotel from 30,000₫ (see delivery fees). A refundable deposit of 2,000,000₫ or a passport copy is required. Optional motorbike insurance is 50,000₫/day.
Where Can a 50cc Bike Take You?
The Shark is happiest on Hoi An’s flat, easy roads: the Ancient Town and riverside cafés, An Bang Beach (4 km), Tra Que Vegetable Village (3 km), Thanh Ha Pottery Village and the Bay Mau Coconut Forest. With a top speed of about 50 km/h it is not built for the Hai Van Pass — for day trips to Da Nang or beyond, pick a bigger model from our automatic scooter fleet.
