Overview

Cat Motors Motorbike & Scooter Rentals is a motorbike and scooter rental company based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, describing itself as trusted since 2010. It serves international riders, long-stay visitors, and local residents who need a suitable bike for daily use, city riding, mountain roads, longer rides across Northern Thailand, and flexible long-term rental. The company positions itself around matching the bike to how it will actually be used, rather than offering a single generic rental option. The fleet spans automatic scooters, semi-automatic motorbikes, manual motorcycles, 300cc enduro bikes, maxi-scooters such as the Honda Forza 350 and ADV 350, and larger motorcycles such as the Honda NX500 for riders who need more capability on mountain roads and multi-day trips. Rentals are offered on daily, weekly, and monthly terms, with rates that decrease as the booking length increases, subject to bike availability. In high season, advance bookings are usually confirmed within three days of the rental start date; in low season, booking in advance is usually possible at any time. Cat Motors differentiates itself with a no-passport-deposit policy and included medical insurance. It also publishes practical route guides, rental terms, and riding advice for Northern Thailand on its website. The company explicitly warns that riding in Thailand is not for complete beginners, noting that Northern Thailand roads can be steep, winding, and unpredictable and that traffic mistakes are punished quickly. This candid positioning is part of its brand voice, aimed at riders who want an honest assessment of local conditions. The business is privately held and operates primarily in Chiang Mai and the surrounding Northern Thailand region. Its co-founder, Siri, is publicly identified on the company's website. Cat Motors is listed on Wikidata as a motorbike and scooter rental business in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

History

Cat Motors Motorbike & Scooter Rentals is a privately held motorbike and scooter rental company based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Its website states that it has been trusted since 2010, indicating the business was established around that year. The company was founded to serve international riders, long-stay visitors, and local residents in need of two-wheeled transport suited to daily use, city riding, mountain roads, longer rides across Northern Thailand, and flexible long-term rental. From its base in Chiang Mai, Cat Motors built its offering around a diverse fleet rather than a single rental category. The fleet includes automatic scooters, semi-automatic motorbikes, manual motorcycles, 300cc enduro bikes, maxi-scooters such as the Honda Forza 350 and ADV 350, and larger motorcycles such as the Honda NX500. This range is intended to cover riders who need a practical scooter for the city as well as those who need a more capable bike for longer distances, steeper roads, or extended stays. The company's rental model is flexible, with daily, weekly, and monthly options. Rates depend on booking length, with longer rentals lowering the daily rate, subject to bike availability. In high season, advance bookings are usually confirmed within three days of the rental start date, while in low season advance booking is usually possible at any time. Cat Motors also distinguishes itself through a no-passport-deposit policy and included medical insurance. Beyond rentals, Cat Motors publishes practical route guides, rental terms, and riding advice for Northern Thailand on its website. Its public messaging includes a candid warning that riding in Thailand is not for complete beginners, citing steep, winding, and unpredictable roads in the north and the quick consequences of traffic mistakes. The co-founder, Siri, is identified on the website as a point of contact for riders seeking help choosing the right option. As of the available evidence, Cat Motors remains an active, privately held rental operator focused on Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand. It is listed on Wikidata as a motorbike and scooter rental business in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
