Nighttime heroes saving motorbikes in trouble

Established in 2017, the Hanoi Rescue Team assists all riders with vehicle breakdowns when all motorcycle repair shops are closed. All team members are volunteers.

“It’s Hanoi Motorbike Rescue. Are you on De La Thanh street? I’m coming right away. Please wait.”

That’s like an average call that Hanoi Motorbike Rescue receives after most people in the city are tucked away in bed. The team requires nothing more than the smiles and thank yous they get from motorbike owners stranded and in trouble at night.

A flat tire is the most common mechanical problem facing riders at night.

The team consists of four members. They start work from 10pm until 4am the next day.

It only takes them 15 minutes to successfully “rescue” a motorbike. However, the work involves strenuous effort to sustain as they must work the nightshift with limited personnel.  

When in trouble in the middle of the night, motorcycles riders in Hanoi can ring 0963313004 for support./.
