Some free spirits prefer to use two wheels rather than four as a way to explore both sides of the small island that is home St. Martin and Sint Maarten. Scooters allow even more mobility than a car at a cheaper price, and bikes allow vacationers to head off of the road and experience some of the flora and fauna of the island.
Travelers who are on the island alone or with one other person may find a bike or a moped to be a more attractive option than a rental car. With nice weather, these cycling options allow vacationers to feel the sun and wind on their skin as they see the sights. Fees and gas will be relatively inexpensive for mopeds and maneuvering through the streets can also be easier than being in a car. Travelers may need a motorcycle license for a rental. For families traveling with children or in a larger group, rental cars will be the more feasible option.
Several companies on the island offer both rentals of mopeds, and rentals and tours on mountain bikes.
