About Cloud City Wheels | Shillong’s Premier Bike Rental Service
Since 2026

Born in the Hills of Shillong

We aren’t just a rental company. We are locals who love riding.
Cloud City Wheels was founded to help travelers explore the “Scotland of the East” safely, authentically, and without boundaries.

Identifying the Gap in
Meghalaya Tourism

A few years ago, renting a bike in Shillong was a gamble. You would walk into a shop near Police Bazar, pay a high deposit, and often get a bike with worn-out brakes or a struggling engine. For a terrain as demanding as Meghalaya—with its steep inclines to Laitlum and foggy bends near Cherrapunji—this wasn’t just inconvenient; it was dangerous.

We founded Cloud City Wheels in 2026 with a simple mission: To provide showroom-condition bikes for travelers. We realized that the journey matters as much as the destination. Whether you are riding to the crystal-clear waters of Dawki or chasing waterfalls in Sohra, you need a machine you can trust.

Today, we are proud to be Shillong’s most trusted bike rental service, known not just for our fleet, but for our local expertise. We don’t just hand you a key; we map out your adventure. We have grown from a small garage with 5 bikes to a full-fledged rental service with over 50+ premium vehicles, serving thousands of happy travelers from across the globe.

A Message from Our Founder

“Welcome to Shillong! When I started Cloud City Wheels, I wanted to solve a simple problem: Trust. Tourists often felt anxious about hidden charges or bike breakdowns. I wanted to build a brand where you could rent a Royal Enfield with the same confidence as you would in your home city.

Every bike in our garage tells a story. We have personally test-ridden them on the roughest terrains of Meghalaya to ensure they are up to the mark. Our team isn’t just staff; they are riders themselves. When you ask us ‘Is the road to Phe Phe Falls good?’, we answer from experience, not a map.

We invite you to explore our beautiful state responsibly. Respect the culture, enjoy the winding roads, and leave only footprints behind.”

– Founder, Cloud City Wheels

The “Cloud City” Standard

We follow a strict 21-point maintenance protocol that sets us apart from other rental agencies in Shillong.

1. Engine & Brake Health

Meghalaya’s roads are steep. Before every handover, our mechanics inspect the brake pads, fluid levels, and engine oil. We ensure the bike has the torque to climb the steep roads to Shillong Peak without overheating. We don’t compromise on mechanical integrity.

2. Tyre Grip & Stability

The road to Dawki can be slippery during rains. We strictly use MRF and CEAT tyres with deep treads. We check tyre pressure (PSI) to ensure maximum grip on wet tarmac and off-road trails near Phe Phe Falls. Safety starts where the rubber meets the road.

3. Documentation & Legal

Tourists often worry about police checks. All our bikes carry valid commercial insurance, PUC certificates, and Registration Cards (RC). We provide digital and physical copies so you can ride stress-free across Meghalaya without fear of fines or impoundment.

Our Responsibility

Respecting the Abode of Clouds

Meghalaya is home to sacred groves, living root bridges, and pristine rivers. As a local business, we are committed to sustainable tourism. We believe that tourism should benefit the local community without harming the delicate ecosystem of our hills.

  • We educate our riders on “No Littering” policies, especially near the Umngot River and Root Bridges.

  • Our bikes are tuned to minimize emissions, keeping Shillong’s air clean and fresh.

  • We partner with local tea stalls and homestays, ensuring your money supports the local Khasi community.

Empowering the Local Youth

Cloud City Wheels is more than just a business; it’s a platform for local empowerment. We actively hire local youth from Shillong and surrounding villages, training them as mechanics, fleet managers, and tour guides. When you rent from us, you are directly contributing to the livelihood of families in Meghalaya. We believe in fair wages, skill development, and creating opportunities right here in our home state.
