As before and afterwards in other countries, I wanted to travel through Malaysia for a few months on a small scooter. I wanted to clarify the possibility of renting such a scooter beforehand. I inquired at about seven motorcycle rental companies in Kuala Lumpur. But only one of them could fulfill my wishes. Most of the others were not willing to rent out a small scooter for a longer tour far away from the capital. So that's how I ended up at the rental shop. The handover of the scooter went as usual: a few explanations, a few checks, and information about where something was already scratched or bent. One special feature of this rental shop is that everything is done paperlessly. The mileage was under 10,000, so it was a relatively new vehicle. Thus, no serious repairs were necessary during the approximately 6000 kilometers I drove. Brakes adjusted once, a flat tire repaired once, oil change every 1200 km. This 125cc Honda Vario is a very reliable and robust vehicle. The parking brake is a very good feature of this Malaysian model. Although apparently not allowed in all countries, it is helpful if you want to take photos on the steep mountain, for example. You have both hands free. Returning the scooter was just as easy. And because there was a flea market on the day of the return, I was even invited to something to eat and drink. All in all, it was a trouble-free time and I can only recommend the rental shop.
