When you rent a self-service motorbike, especially in a station car park, it is normal to have questions.

Does the motorcycle sleep outside? Is it really being followed? Is it controlled between two customers?

Chez Good Motors, we prefer to explain things simply, without unnecessary commercial speech.

Today, more than 7,000 customers have already driven our motorcycles, and our service shows a average score of 4.87/5 out of more than 500 reviews.

If these figures exist, it is not by chance: they are based on a very concrete organization around the maintenance and monitoring of motorcycles.


Where are motorcycles stored Good Motors

Our bikes are installed in the car parks of the stations and airports, but only in covered and secure car parks

Concretely:

  • They don't sleep outside
  • they are protected from rain and humidity
  • They are not subject to daily weather variations


A motorcycle stored in a covered car park is better protected than a motorcycle parked on the street, exposed to bad weather, humidity and temperature differences.

More frequent maintenance than what a manufacturer's manual provides

The maintenance books are designed for personal use.

Renting requires much more vigilance.

At Good Motors, We are not satisfied with manufacturer deadlines.

Actual frequency of checks

In low season

  • → complete control at least once a week


In high season

  • → complete control at least twice a week

And this, even if the bike didn't drive much.

What do we actually do during these checks

Each checkpoint includes in particular:

  • check and refill oil if necessary
  • greasing the chain
  • Chain tension control
  • Checking the condition and pressure of the tires
  • brake control (levers, pads, feel)
  • lights and blinkers
  • general visual inspection


If a point is not in accordance, The bike is stuck and does not rent again.

Mechanics on site, not remotely

In each city, we work with Mechanics.

They intervene:

  • regularly on site
  • To check the motorcycles
  • to diagnose mechanical points
  • to intervene quickly if necessary


The advantage is simple:

no waiting, no motorcycle “that still drives a little bit”, no compromise.

A check between each rental, without exception

Between two customers, The motorcycle is systematically checked.

There are two levels of control:

On site

  • checking the general condition of the motorcycle
  • Test the bike to deepen control


Through our after-sales service

  • Analysis of Return photos
  • Cleanliness check
  • Validation that the bike can start again immediately


A dirty, dubious or damaged motorcycle is never rented again for the next customer.

Partner garages and dealerships for heavier maintenance

For revisions, tires, brakes or larger operations, we work with motorcycle garages and partner dealerships.

These garages ensure:

  • regular reviews
  • replacement of wear parts
  • heavier mechanical operations


This makes it possible to keep:

  • professional follow-up
  • clean and documented interventions
  • consistent quality, city by city

Why this level of monitoring is essential in self-service

Self-service doesn't mean less control.

In fact, it is the other way around.

Because the customer collects the bike alone, Everything must be ready first :

  • mechanically
  • visually
  • in terms of safety


It is this rigor that explains why:

  • more than 7,000 customers have already trusted us
  • Our average score is 4.87/5 out of more than 500 reviews
  • many customers come back to rent with us
