  1. Commuting on two wheels has a number of benefits, however, one downside is that two-wheeled commuters are exposed to the elements. One way riders can protect themselves from the elements is by ensuring their riding kit is performing well – keeping them warm and dry.

    Here’s why Blaze Wear heated garments are a commuter’s best friend…

    • There are options to suit all

    Blaze Wear offer a choice of 5V battery-powered and 12V vehicle-connected apparel so riders can choose a garment with the power option that suits them.

    The 12V vehicle-connected range includes: Heated Motorcycle Jacket Liner, Heated Motorcycle Trouser Liners, Heated Motorcycle Glove liners, Heated Motorcycle Over Socks and a Heated Motorcycle Vest.

    5V Battery-powered items include: Heated Base Layer Tops and Pants, Heated Boot Socks and Active Gilets for both men and women.

    • Comfort is key

    The whole line-up has been specially designed with optimum comfort for wearers at the heart. As well as being made from lightweight materials, the heated helmets integrate flexible carbon fibres – which are the thickness of a single hair – meaning the heating elements are unobtrusive, bending and flexing so not restricting any movement.

    • Say ‘goodbye’ to bulky layers

    Thanks to the garments being heated, riders no longer need to bulk up on heavy layers. All heated clothing from Blaze Wear has a choice of three temperature settings meaning that riders can choose the level of heat that suits them and the weather conditions – not only does this give the rider more choice, it also makes the items versatile for all year round riding.

    About Blaze Wear

    UK-based heated clothing specialists, Blaze Wear, offer a heated clothing range for a variety of activities – including outdoor pursuits, horse riding, fishing, equine, skiing, workwear and motorcycling.

    Designed in the UK, the line-up has been specially tailored to ensure they offer outstanding comfort and intuitive usability. The heating elements integrate flexible carbon fibres – all of which are the thickness of a single hair. This ensures the heating elements are unobtrusive and bend and flex with the user, as well as even heat distribution and optimum heat.

    A range of 5V battery-powered and 12V connected garments are available as well as a dedicated heat therapy range, designed with advanced therapeutic deep tissue heat technology utilising Far Infrared Rays (FIR). Blaze Wear launched its 12V Moto range, specifically designed for motorcycle riders late 2018.

  2. Let’s start it all with some statistics!

    Cars are usually driven for around 12,000 miles per year, whereas motorcycles ridden less than 2,000 miles. Moreover, there are only approximately 10 million motorcycles licensed in the U.S.A – with around 30 million licensed riders.

    In short, many people have the license to ride a motorcycle, yet few of them actually ride one daily, for example – not to mention the motorcycle rentals prices that are just not that appealing.

    Given the aforementioned statistics, let’s now talk about the best motorcycle rental option for those that are traveling to America. It goes without saying that you clearly have more than enough reasons to ride a motorcycle on one of the American roads – it’s no exaggeration when someone says that you’ll feel just like a movie star!

    Riders – Share!

    Let’s say that you plan on visiting Sin City and that you want to drive a motorcycle into the sunset – or at least in the evening, catching a glimpse of everything that’s surrounding you.

    However, you have no clue on which the best Last Vegas motorcycle rental option may be!

    What if we told you that, with our help, rental is now turning more into a sharing process? Exactly – why would you, as a traveler, scout the rental options within the city when you could find someone willing to share their bike with you? What Do I Need to Rent a Motorcycle in Las Vegas

    Our platform – Riders Share – gives you the opportunity to search for your favorite or preferred ride from actual motorcycle owners. By doing so, you won’t have to deal with any sort of rental agency or such.

    In short, you can enjoy a peer-to-peer motorcycle rental marketplace with us!

    The Benefits

    Naturally, there are benefits for both that list their bike for renting, as well as for those that rent it.

    First of all, if you want to rent out your motorcycle, we’ll provide you with our unique insurance policy, specially designed for this type of vehicles. As you may know, most personal or vehicle policies do not cover motorcycle rentals, meaning that you put your ride at risk whenever you rent it.

    However, that’s not something you should be worrying about if you’ve listed your bike on Riders Share!

    When it comes to travelers that rent a motorcycle, their safety is paramount! For this, we verify the criminal and driving track records and make sure that anything suspicious or bad stays out of our system. In short, both owner and renter are completely safe when using our platform.

    The Bottom Line

    Given the fact that motorcycle rental agencies/ companies are either too expensive or, in some cases, quite hard to find, it goes without saying why you should rely on Riders Share to find yourself a ride if you plan on visiting America!

    With just a 0.1% theft rate so far, a unique insurance policy, as well as a professional service, we are 100% certain that you’ll find the ride you need, successfully rent and ride it, while also having the best owner-customer experience when interacting with our bike sharers.
