Questions before buying
Everything foreigners usually ask before buying an electric bike on Koh Samui or Koh Phangan. Something missing? Message us on WhatsApp — we answer within the hour.
Can foreigners buy a bike?
Yes — foreigners can officially buy and own a VMoto. We handle all the paperwork.
Registration and plates?
We take care of the registration and plates ourselves right after the purchase.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, same as any scooter: a Thai or an international motorcycle licence. We’ll advise how to get a local one.
Can I charge at home?
Yes — each battery charges from a regular outlet with the included charger. A fast charge at our stations takes about 20 minutes. Both batteries are removable, so you can carry them inside instead of parking next to a socket.
Where is the bike serviced?
On the island: our own service, parts in stock and a mobile team for Samui and Phangan. An electric drive needs no oil, belts or spark plugs, so routine maintenance is minimal.
How does a test ride work?
We meet on Koh Phangan — you come to us, or we arrange a convenient spot individually. 15–20 minutes, free, no obligations.
What does it cost to run?
About ฿25 of electricity a day against ฿150–200 you would spend on petrol — plus no oil changes and no engine servicing.
What is covered by the warranty?
Three years on every part of the bike, with parts and service available on the island.
