Yamaha NEOS 4

The Yamaha Neos 4 is the easiest way onto two wheels in Turkey for anyone without a motorcycle licence: its 50cc engine rides legally on a standard category-B car licence. With a top speed around 45 km/h it's built for short city hops, waterfront cruising and neighbourhood streets — note that the Bosphorus bridges and motorways are off-limits to this class, so plan routes within the city.

Its light weight makes parking, kerbside manoeuvring and tight-street U-turns effortless. The underseat compartment swallows a helmet, making it a great companion for daily errands and coastal rides, and fuel consumption is the lowest in our fleet.

Third-party insurance and a helmet are included; the scooter-class deposit is €150. Flat, scenic runs like the Moda waterfront, Caddebostan and the Yeşilköy coast road are the Neos's natural habitat, and the 250 km daily allowance is more than generous for this class.
