Renting a scooter is the easiest way to explore Labuan Bajo at your own pace, and the Yamaha Mio Soul GT 125 is one of the easy automatics we hand to visitors most often. It rents from Rp 90,000 a day, helmet and rain jacket included, delivered to your hotel in town. Here is what it is actually like to ride one around Flores — and the specs, further down, if you want them.
What it's like to ride around Labuan Bajo
The Soul GT 125 is a twist-and-go automatic, so there are no gears to think about — handy if you have not ridden in a while. It is light at 96 kg and parks easily on the narrow streets near the harbour. Around town and out to the nearer viewpoints it is comfortable for one rider with a daypack; two adults with bags will feel the steeper climbs slow down, since this is a relaxed 125cc, not a powerful bike.
Labuan Bajo is hillier than people expect. The Soul GT handles the short climbs fine solo, and the fuel-injected engine is easy on petrol. The tank is small at 4.2 litres, so fill up before longer runs toward Golo Mori or Rangko — petrol stations thin out fast once you leave town. Roads near the centre are sealed; some routes to viewpoints turn rough, so take those slowly.

The specs (for the curious)
If you are searching "Mio Soul GT 125cc," the bike you want is the All New Soul GT 125 Blue Core (2015 onward) — a genuine 125cc, not the older 115cc Soul GT or the 113.7cc Mio Soul FI. The basics:
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Engine | 125 cc, fuel-injected (Blue Core), automatic |
| Fuel tank | 4.2 litres |
| Under-seat storage | 14 litres |
| Weight | 96 kg |
| Wheels | 14-inch, disc front / drum rear |
It is a small, honest engine: enough for one rider plus a daypack, and frugal on long flat stretches. That is really all most riders need to know.
