You get to see places other tourists won&#8217;t ever visit and meet locals that are <strong>completely unspoiled<\/strong>\u00a0by tourism. If you decide for renting a motorbike in India, you should definitely ride the Indian way: On <strong>Royal Enfields<\/strong>. In short, <strong>Bullets<\/strong>! These bikes are beautiful, fairly reliable and an amazing experience altogether. Renting an Enfield in India is not too difficult. You just need to take a few things into account.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2558\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2558\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2558 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-089-770x576.jpg\" alt=\"Renting an Enfield in India: Royal Enfield tank\" width=\"770\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-089-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-089-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-089-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-089.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Royal Enfield &#8211; Beautiful bikes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Renting an Enfield in India: Preparations<\/h2>\n<h3>Luggage<\/h3>\n<p>The best you can do is <strong>leave all your heavy luggage<\/strong> at your starting point. Most motorbike rentals require a return of the bike to the original spot, so you will come back at some point anyway. And come on, you don&#8217;t really need all those <strong>ten sets<\/strong> of clothes on a bike! If you don&#8217;t know anyone in the city where you rent, ask at a <strong>hostel<\/strong>. Many will keep your luggage for free when renting an Enfield in India. Add a <strong>little tip<\/strong>, and you can be sure that nothing is gonna happen to it in your absence.<\/p>\n<h3>Clothes<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the time of renting an Enfield in India (and your destination, obviously) you will need to bring\u00a0<strong>a few layers of clothes<\/strong>. If you are starting from <strong>Delhi<\/strong>, go to the markets and shops in the <strong>Karol Bhag<\/strong> area where you can find pretty much everything for a good price. We drove in February, one of the coldest months, so we bought long underwear, warm socks, face masks and scarves before we took off. In hindsight: <strong>A very reasonable decision!<\/strong>\u00a0One of the best shops on the <strong>Main Bazaar Road<\/strong>\u00a0 in Karol Bhag is a second-hand jacket dealer. You can find real gems here and nothing is more expensive than <strong>500 rupees<\/strong> (\u20ac 6). My friend John dug deep into the pile of jackets and found a North Face windbreaker for no more than 450 rupees! Coming from the train station, the shop is on your right-hand side, after about 400 meters.<\/p>\n<h3>Enfield in India: The right rental place<\/h3>\n<p>Well, of course I might not be entirely right here, but at least this is what we&#8217;ve been told: Among the 50 or so places for renting an Enfield in Delhi, there are <strong>only about three<\/strong> which are OK. Go try the other ones and let me know your experiences, but don&#8217;t complain about <strong>getting ripped off<\/strong> later. But this decision is not only about getting ripped off, it is also about the safety of the bike you are getting. So basically, it is a decision which might affect\u00a0<strong>your life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2572\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2572 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-267-770x1032.jpg\" alt=\"Renting an Enfield in India: Truck at the side of the road\" width=\"770\" height=\"1032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-267-770x1032.jpg 770w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-267-768x1029.jpg 768w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-267-600x804.jpg 600w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-267.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You don&#8217;t want to mess with him\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I can warmly recommend Tony Bike Centre.

That way, not only won&#8217;t you have to carry anything on your back which can be very annoying. Also, you add a little <strong>crush zone<\/strong> in case you hit something sidewards. Just watch out though, you are <strong>a lot wider<\/strong> than you think now! You can buy <strong>bungees<\/strong> for securing your luggage inside the rack in the small shops of the motorbike area.<\/li>\n<li>Decide for a bike! If I were you, I would not save the \u20ac 3\/day by taking a bike with a smaller engine. I&#8217;d go for the big machine, <strong>500cc<\/strong>! Two main reasons: 1. In the <strong>madness<\/strong> that is Indian traffic, some <strong>extra horsepower<\/strong> can never harm. 2. <strong>It&#8217;s so much more fun!<\/strong> The <strong>500cc Machismo<\/strong> (what a name!) will cost you about 1200 rupees (\u20ac15) a day. Don&#8217;t forget to <strong>bargain<\/strong>, especially in low season! But trust me, these bikes are worth every cent.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure to have <strong>enough cash<\/strong> with you. The rental place will ask you for about 40.000 rupees (\u20ac 500) <strong>deposit<\/strong> for a big bike. Basically, they want to be sure to be reimbursed in case you do not come back for some reason &#8211; be it an accident or the sudden decision to <strong>drive the bike back to your hometown<\/strong>&#8230; There is an ATM not so far from Tony Bike Centre. But it only gives out 10 k at a time. So you will have to spend quite some time there. <strong>Important notice<\/strong>: You can also put the deposit down in any other currency!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Very important<\/strong>: Thoroughly check the bike before you go and <strong>write down any damage<\/strong> you can find. <strong>Even better<\/strong>: Take a picture of the damage. It is India after all, so the likeliness of getting ripped off later is high (sorry for saying that, but that&#8217;s just the way it is). The only way you can avoid paying for a damage that you are not responsible for is to <strong>detect it before you go<\/strong>. We are also talking about minor scratches here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Even more important<\/strong>: Check if all important features\u00a0<strong>work properly<\/strong>. You will have a <strong>test-drive<\/strong> before you go. Check: All lights, brakes (!), all cables, tire profile (!). Plus anything else you can imagine. Also: Check the <strong>rear chain ring<\/strong>. If there are any teeth missing or it looks very used, have them replace it! Anything that does not look safe, have them replace it or fix it before you go. <strong>It is your life that depends on it!<\/strong> Or, at least, your deposit&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you have all the <strong>papers<\/strong> with you before you go. The papers basically state that you are the <strong>owner of the bike<\/strong>, very important for police checks. (However, police did not seem interested in us at all.)<\/li>\n<li>Take <strong>enough helmets<\/strong>. If you are not sure if you will take people along while renting an Enfield in India, just bring an additional one. They are easy to tie to the luggage rack and the rental place has plenty. Also: Check if the helmets are <strong>good<\/strong>!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2563\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2563 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-147-770x576.jpg\" alt=\"Renting an Enfield in India: Indian bag strapped to a Royal Enfield\" width=\"770\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-147-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-147-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-147-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-147.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Always double-check if your luggage is tied up properly!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Renting an Enfield in India: Getting on the road<\/h2>\n<p>You are now ready to go!

Everything depends on the time you have and on what you would like to see while renting an Enfield in India. But I can only recommend the route we took, straight through my favorite Indian state of\u00a0<strong>Rajasthan<\/strong>, and with quite a few amazing sights in a rather short amount of time and distance! This route took us <strong>five days<\/strong>, but can, of course, extended to more days.<\/p>\n<h3>Day 1: Delhi &#8211; Alwar<\/h3>\n<p>Try to <strong>survive<\/strong> Delhi&#8217;s traffic, then head Southwest. You can take the highway from here, but it is always packed. Besides, I need to quote a Delhi expat here: <strong>&#8220;Indians are really good at bad driving.&#8221;<\/strong> Nothing to be added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2568\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2568\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2568 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-220-770x576.jpg\" alt=\"Renting an Enfield in India: Transport bicycle with driver\" width=\"770\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-220-770x576.jpg 770w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-220-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-220-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/life-is-a-trip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Indien-06-220.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of many different types of vehicle\u2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Riding on the smaller roads, you can take your time.
