The maxi class

What makes a maxi different

You feel the difference on the first climb with a passenger: where a 125cc scooter fades, a maxi keeps pulling — with margin to overtake. The seating is armchair-like, the windshield holds off the airflow at highway speed, and the passenger gets a proper seat rather than a perch. The XMAX adds electronics on top: ABS stops the wheel locking on wet tarmac, traction control covers you on sand and painted lines.

In practice: the XMAX hides about 45 litres under the seat — two helmets, or a helmet and a laptop backpack. This is the bike for a couple riding the whole island: Promthep at sunset, Old Town, the north — in one day, without fatigue.

If you mostly ride solo around town, you don't need a maxi — look at the Honda ADV160 at 500 ฿/day: lighter, cheaper to run and enough for every hill on the island. The full fleet is on the bikes & prices page.

Maxi questions

Frequently asked questions

What licence do I need for a maxi scooter?+

A full category A motorcycle licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). Maxi scooters are 300cc-class machines: a category B (car) licence is not valid for them and insurance will not apply.

What is the deposit for a maxi scooter?+

Honda Forza 300 and Yamaha XMAX 300 — from 4 000 ฿, the 2026 XMAX flagship — from 5 000 ฿. Cash only: the amount is known before booking and returned when you bring the bike back. We never hold your passport.

Do two helmets fit under the seat?+

Yes. The XMAX has roughly 45 litres of storage under the seat — two helmets, or a helmet plus a laptop backpack. Two helmets come free with any bike.

XMAX or Forza — which one?+

The price is the same — 650 ฿/day for the XMAX 300 (2020) and the Forza 300. XMAX brings ABS plus traction control and a brand-new 2026 flagship option at 800 ฿/day; Forza is premium comfort in the same class. Send us your dates and we'll tell you honestly what's available.

Can I take a maxi scooter off the island?+

Around Phuket — no limits; crossing the Sarasin Bridge to Phang Nga — by prior agreement. Message your route on Telegram and we will advise on insurance.
