Anybody Rented a Bike in Marrakech?

[jim123]

I am looking to rent a bike during a business trip to Marrakech. I have written to a local outfit called "Loc2roues"

I'f anybody has experience of this company I'd appreciate your feedback. Their website is basic, and so is their English. They appear helpful but I'm a little uncomfortable about paying in advance to reserve a bike.

Whilst not in Marrakech, I hear good things about them, and I believe I read somewhere that they sorted out bike hire for someone else with your requirements.

My friends Simon and John rented XTR660s from loc2roues a couple of weeks ago. The bikes were well worn (60,000+km) but well maintained and certainly not down on power. One of the bikes only had one mirror, both had fairly battered hand guards.

They gave us a spare front tube for each bike which in an emergency could also be used in the rear tyre. We fitted GPS and heated jacket controllers. No problems whatsoever during the week.

If you're heading south then Bikershome is a good choice and you can get a CTM bus from Marrakech for 80dh each way. Peter has a couple of KTMs and can arrange more. Will also hire out GPS with suggested tracks.
