The morning light hits the palm-fringed boulevard and the scooter’s engine answers with a low, eager hum — Punta Cana opens itself on two wheels. Riding out from Bavaro, you’ll pass broad beaches that shove breakers toward the sand and neighborhoods where local life moves between colmados and beachside cafés. The freedom here is straightforward: a compact machine, a phone map, and an appetite for short, sunlit runs.

Carry ID and paper copies
Bring your passport or ID and a printed rental voucher; some checkpoints prefer visible ID rather than phone copies.
Helmet fit matters
Even if a helmet is provided, check fit and chin strap tightness — a loose helmet won’t protect in a spill.
Watch for road surface changes
Expect smooth resort boulevards and sudden potholes or gravel on side roads; slow before turns and give yourself extra braking room.
Top up fuel early
Fill the tank when you reach half; rural stretches and beach access roads may not have pumps nearby.
Well-fitting helmet (if you have one)
Personal helmets are more comfortable and sanitary than shared gear.
Sunblock SPF30+
Tropical sun is intense even on short rides; apply before you leave the hotel.
