The most spacious scooter for tourists on Phu Quoc Island. Fully automatic, incredibly lightweight at 116 kg, and the most fuel-efficient automatic in our fleet at 2.0L/100km. If you have never ridden a motorbike before, this is the one to start with — 60% of all our customers choose the Lead.
The Honda Lead uses a CVT automatic transmission — just twist the throttle and go. No gears, no clutch, no foot pedals for shifting. We have taught hundreds of complete beginners to ride it comfortably within their first five minutes. The controls are intuitive, the throttle response is gentle and forgiving, and the 97-kilogram frame makes low-speed maneuvering effortless. If you have ever ridden a bicycle, you can ride the Lead — the only additional skill is throttle control, which becomes natural within minutes.
At 116 kg, the Lead is tied with the Wave as the lightest in our fleet. This matters at traffic stops (easy to balance with feet on ground), at beach parking lots (push across gravel without effort), and if you accidentally tip the bike while parking (easy to lift up alone). Our heaviest bike, the PCX 150, weighs 130 kg — that is 34% more. For a beginner, those extra kilograms make a noticeable difference in confidence and comfort.
At 1.7 liters per 100 km, the Lead achieves the best fuel economy of any automatic scooter we offer. The 4.6-liter tank provides approximately 270 km of range — more than enough to complete the full 120 km island loop with fuel to spare. A complete fill-up costs about 115,000 VND ($4.60). Most one-week renters spend under 200,000 VND ($8) on fuel for their entire trip. For comparison, a single taxi ride from the airport to Duong Dong costs 180,000-200,000 VND.
The 762 mm seat height means riders as short as 155 cm (5'1") can plant both feet flat on the ground at stops. This eliminates the anxious "can I reach?" moment at traffic lights and on slopes. The padded seat stays comfortable even on the 120 km full island loop, and the upright riding position reduces back strain on longer rides.
The under-seat storage fits one helmet, a water bottle, sunscreen, your wallet, and a small bag. Lock your valuables under the seat at the beach while you swim — much safer than leaving them in a basket. The flat footboard also accommodates a small backpack or shopping bag between your feet while riding.
The Lead is the best-selling scooter in Vietnam with millions on the road. Honda has refined this design over multiple generations, eliminating virtually every mechanical weakness. Spare parts and repair expertise are available everywhere on Phu Quoc. In five years of rental operations, we have experienced zero major mechanical failures on our Lead fleet during customer rentals. When you turn the key, this bike starts — every single time.
First time ever on a scooter and the Lead was absolutely perfect. Within 5 minutes I felt totally comfortable. Rode 60 km to Starfish Beach and back — flawless. Incredibly fuel-efficient, barely used 2 liters the whole day. Free hotel delivery was a huge bonus. Best way to explore Phu Quoc.
Rented for 10 days — like having a personal $7/day taxi. Bike was practically brand new, started instantly every morning. When I extended by 3 days they recalculated at the weekly rate and refunded the difference. Never experienced service like this anywhere in SE Asia. Lead is the only bike you need on Phu Quoc.
As a shorter female rider (160cm) I was worried about handling a scooter alone. The Lead's low seat meant I could easily plant both feet flat at every stop — zero anxiety. Bike is so light that pushing it backwards out of parking takes no effort. Spent 5 incredible days exploring beaches and pepper farms on my own!
Yes, the Lead handles two adults comfortably on Phu Quoc's flat roads at 40-60 km/h. For longer rides with a passenger and heavy gear, consider the Lead 125 (37L storage, wider seat) or PCX 150 (150cc, smoother tandem ride).
About 2.0L per 100km. The 4.6L tank costs ~115,000 VND ($4.60) to fill and lasts ~230 km. Most one-week renters spend under 200,000 VND ($8) on fuel total — less than one taxi ride from the airport.
Lead — it is fully automatic (just twist and go). The Wave requires foot-shifting gears. The extra $2/day buys zero learning curve. If you have never ridden any motorbike, choose the Lead without hesitation.
Absolutely. Many customers complete the full loop solo and with a passenger. The 270 km range means no refueling needed (though we recommend topping up at lunch). The 125cc engine cruises at 50-55 km/h comfortably, well within the 60 km/h speed limit.
Yes, free swap anytime. WhatsApp us and we deliver the replacement to your location. Only the daily rate difference for remaining days is adjusted. Many first-timers start on Lead then switch to a different model once they know their preferences.
More power, sportier look. Best fuel economy of any 125cc.
