About us

A rider-run garage with London miles and a warm welcome

Carioca Motorcycles started as a small unit off Hessel Street, fixing the bikes our friends rode to work every day. More than a decade later we are a full-service garage — sales, rentals and a workshop trusted by couriers, commuters and weekend riders from Whitechapel to Walthamstow.

Our owner is Ecuadorian and spent 20 years in Brazil, so Latin warmth runs through the place — but our doors are open to everyone. We are proud to look after riders from Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Brazilian and all across the UK community, with honest quotes before any spanner turns and photos of the work as it happens. Whether it is your first 125 or a 1200cc twin, you get the same respect.

  • Specialists in big-capacity bikes — from 600cc naked to 1250cc tourers
  • Scooter servicing and rentals for daily London commuting
  • Friendly, multilingual team — English, Portuguese and Spanish spoken
  • Independent workshop minutes from Whitechapel station

    Brand-specialist mechanics, genuine or OEM-equivalent parts, and photo updates as the job progresses.

  4. 04

    Handover

Reviews

What East London riders say

My PCX went down on a Monday morning and they had it diagnosed and back on the road the same afternoon. Fair price, no drama — I don't take my scooter anywhere else now.
Daniel OkaforCourier · Bethnal Green
First big bike after my A2 and they never once made me feel like a beginner. They walked me through the inspection report and set the suspension up for my weight before I rode away.
Sophie BennettBought a Bonneville T120
Atendimento em português and proper technical knowledge. They rebuilt the forks on my Z900 and sent photos at every stage. Genuinely trustworthy workshop.
Marcelo RibeiroWeekend rider · Hackney
Rented a Forza 350 for three months while I decided what to buy. Insurance sorted, helmet included, and they serviced it mid-hire at no extra cost.
