Renting first is usually the right call
If you are here for a week, rent. The crossover point where buying beats renting sits at roughly six to eight weeks of riding, which is a snowbird season rather than a holiday. Our rate guide covers the maths.
Try the style you are thinking of buying before you commit. Renting a step-through for a day tells you more than any review, and every shop in the partner directory will happily talk you through what they stock.
