True dat. Have had to take a rental back to the owner more than once because of beat up bikes that won't start, or are falling apart. Check them out thoroughly, and take a test ride before renting. The roads there can be a bit rough, and these bikes are used a ton, with little or no maintenance. I like to rent enduros if I can find them. They may not be the most cushy ride, but they are made to take the pounding, unlike the little mopeds.
