Motorbikes in the UAE: prices, licences and buying tips

Updated 4 November 2026

Motorbikes in the UAE range from about AED 420 for a children's ride-on to about AED 10,000 for a road or electric model, and about AED 18,100 for a new 125 cc bike. For prices in your model, send a request on BlaBlaPrice, and registered sellers will reply in the chat with their offers.

Rules you need to check

UAE guidance says motorcyclists are subject to traffic rules, licensing requirements and road regulations, so check the licence before you buy. A rider from abroad needs an international licence carried together with the foreign licence to ride in the UAE. Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority has also introduced new registration and safety inspection standards for delivery motorcycles, which allow one extra year of registration.

Warranty and manufacturer terms

Manufacturers set their own warranties. KTM, for example, lists a standard manufacturer's warranty in the UAE and an optional premium cover. Some sellers state that their warranty and refund policies follow the UAE Consumer Protection Law, and some list warranties part by part, such as 12 months for the battery and 36 months for the frame. Compare those terms, not only the price.

Season and test rides

Summer from May to September is very hot, so schedule test rides and longer outdoor rides for the mild months from November to March, when riding outdoors is more comfortable.

How motorbikes are sized and sold here

Engines are described in cc, electric models in watts, batteries in volts and amp-hours, and wheels in inches, so use the same units in your request. Prices are in AED. Some listings show an ex-showroom booking price, so ask what the final price includes. Name your city among Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain, so the seller can say what delivery to that city involves.

What to write in the request

Say whether you want a motorbike, a scooter, a quad or a children's ride-on, and whether it is petrol or electric. Add the engine size or motor power, the battery if it is electric, the wheel size, and whether you want a new or a used bike. Include your budget in AED and your city.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the bike in your own words in a chat, and a photo can be added. BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Its AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. Start from the request field on the home page, or go to motorcycles or quad bikes if you already know which one you need.
