The shop is located right after you get off the ferry. It was easy to find and I was able to rent an electric bike. I recommend it because it's more economical than renting locally.
Boarding is very convenient; you can simply screenshot the QR code. During the off-season, there aren't many boats, so departures are always on time. If you want to send a motorcycle, you can pay an additional NT$150 on-site.
I applied for a pick-up from Kaohsiung Station, but due to low demand, it's likely to be canceled. This time, they were able to accommodate a change in time. However, since it takes more than an hour and a half to go from Kaohsiung via Sakan, unfortunately, if there are more than two of you, it's better to go by taxi. On the way back, we went directly to Kaohsiung, but since the route was from above, it probably took about an hour. We crammed four of us into a passenger car. There's also a guy in Donggang looking for someone to transport us for $200 each, so maybe they'll even transport one person. Despite all that, they did their best to transport us, so thank you very much.
Renting two bikes for a day for just 3,000 yen is a bargain. It's cheaper than a U-BIKE. Electric bikes have front and rear disc brakes, making them safe. They're also light and nimble. Insurance is compulsory, with no optional insurance, so be careful when turning left. There are no traffic lights. I applied for my license in Chinese with the JAF in Japan, and they issued it to me right away. I had to print it at a convenience store, which cost about 4,000 yen x 2.
It's convenient because you can get on the bus right away by showing the QR code before departure time.
