Scooter Rentals in XiaoliuqiuGas or Electric: Our Top 3 Picks

For a recent diving trip to Xiaoliuqiu, our mystery shopper Itata chose to rent a scooter from the local venue Xiaoliuqiu Liuxing Cheye. After disembarking at Dafu Fishing Harbor, Itata headed to pick up the scooter, but Google Maps proved a bit confusing, leading to a short detour before finding the venue. Xiaoliuqiu Liuxing Cheye is located in an old military building, and while its exterior might seem a bit basic, the scooter's condition was surprisingly good.

Itata rented a new GP125, which offered plenty of power and a smooth ride. However, the phone holder on the scooter was difficult to use and couldn't secure a phone properly after several attempts. The handlebars were also slightly crooked, requiring extra attention to steering while riding. While these issues didn't disrupt the trip, they were minor inconveniences.

The luggage transfer service was a definite plus. On the day of departure from the island, the venue helped transport luggage from the guesthouse to the port, which was very convenient for travelers. However, some issues arose during the return process. Itata had arranged to return the scooter at the new venue in Baishawei Port, only to discover upon arrival that their driver's license was still at the Dafu Fishing Harbor venue. Although the venue immediately drove Itata to retrieve it, the process was quite chaotic. Itata even left a bag at the Baisha venue, which another employee later helped return.

Finally, the venue arranged transportation to the port for the ferry, but the driver's speed was very fast, and turns were abrupt, making the ride quite unsettling. While the staff were clearly enthusiastic and willing to help, the overall process felt a bit too casual.

In terms of price, this Scooter Rental in Xiaoliuqiu is quite affordable and offers pickup and drop-off at both ports, making it a decent option for travelers visiting Xiaoliuqiu for diving with straightforward itineraries and limited budgets. However, if a smooth rental experience and attentive service are priorities, Itata would advise choosing carefully.

On previous trips to Xiaoliuqiu, Itata always rented gasoline scooters, but this time, she decided to try something different: 77go Xiaoliuqiu Fashion Electric Scooter Rental, the island's only rental venue with an all-Gogoro fleet.

When booking by phone, the venue reminded her to call again after boarding the ferry so they could time the pickup at the pier. As soon as she disembarked and walked up the steps, after a short wait in front of the temple, the 77go shuttle arrived. The vehicle was new and the air conditioning comfortable; they reached the destination in about five minutes.

Itata was surprised by the large number of staff at 77go. Pickup, counter service, and instruction were all clearly divided, with six to eight people working throughout the venue. The process was highly efficient and gave a real "VIP" sense of honor. After quickly completing payment, contract signing, and photocopying, a staff member patiently explained how to operate the electric scooter and only released it once Itata confirmed she could ride. Even better, once she set off, staff helped deliver her luggage to the guesthouse, and on the return trip, they assisted with luggage transfer from the guesthouse to the pier—super thoughtful!

Itata was lucky enough to rent the last "Muji x Gogoro co-branded model" available that day, which looked fantastic! The overall riding experience was also excellent; the scooter was new and operated smoothly. The only minor drawback was that the horsepower didn't feel as strong, with a top speed of about 60 km/h, but this was likely a safety measure to slightly limit the throttle.

If you're already a Gogoro user or have never experienced one, this venue is highly recommended for Scooter Rental in Xiaoliuqiu. While electric scooters are a bit pricier than traditional ones, multi-day rental plans make them quite affordable. The key takeaways are excellent service, new vehicles, and a significantly upgraded experience!

For my recent diving certification trip to Xiaoliuqiu, my dive shop partnered with Jinhaoqi Motorcycle Shop for Scooter Rental in Xiaoliuqiu. The venue is just a few minutes' walk from the ferry terminal, and the staff were incredibly helpful with the rental process, from photocopying my driver's license and handling payment to a quick overview of the scooter's condition. They even gave a thoughtful heads-up: if I planned to visit the duty-free shop at the pier, it was best to return the scooter to the venue and walk over to avoid illegal parking and towing.

The scooters at this venue are generally well-maintained, offering ample horsepower and stable performance, making light work of the island's steep inclines. There were no strange noises or vibrations while riding, and the acceleration was satisfying, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey—truly "Jinhaoqi" (meaning "really good to ride")!

However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks: the rear passenger footrests, once extended, couldn't be retracted, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, starting the scooter required holding the ignition button for several seconds, and the vibration was so minimal that I initially thought it hadn't started. Improving these small details would make the experience even better.

Overall, the riding experience was quite good, with a smooth process and powerful scooters. If you want to pick up your scooter right after getting off the ferry and enjoy a fuel-powered ride with strong throttle and ample power, Jinhaoqi Motorcycle Shop is an excellent choice!
