Since three members of our family don't have motorcycle licenses, and we also wanted to minimize our environmental impact, we chose Yi Shun Motorcycle Shop, which is directly opposite the ferry terminal. We selected four light motorcycles that don't require a license, and we quickly got the hang of riding them. Although they're a bit sluggish uphill and can't carry passengers, there's really no need to ride too fast on the island; riding alone is quite pleasant! Advantages: Light motorcycles are easy to handle and park. My wife and daughter, who have no motorcycle experience, also had a lot of fun. My son wanted to go faster but didn't complain; in fact, the slightly speed-limited light motorcycles made me feel safer. A 20-inch carry-on suitcase can be fitted under the legs, so I can carry my luggage to the port myself. Disadvantages: No phone holder included, and riding with one hand while looking for directions is a bit dangerous. Battery changing time is only 7am-4:30pm, so you need to plan your itinerary; those who like nighttime activities should think twice. A round trip around the island takes up 20% of the electricity, and the sudden stops and starts at high speeds also consume a lot of power. This is an experience I gained later, but I didn't know it at the beginning, so I had some anxiety about the power consumption.
