Can I rent a scooter or motorbike in Nha Trang with a foreign driving licence that has no motorcycle category, and should two adults share one bike?

TL;DR
Use an established local rental business rather than an informal expat-to-expat rental. Do not expect to rent a powerful motorbike without a motorcycle licence category, and two adult travelers may be more comfortable hiring one scooter each.
What the community said
If your foreign licence does not include a motorcycle category, renting a more powerful motorbike is uncertain. Do not assume a rental provider will readily supply a higher-powered bike without the appropriate licence class.

In Nha Trang, it is generally safer and clearer to rent from an established rental shop rather than through an informal Russian-speaking contact, as rental terms are less likely to be disputed.

Do not treat a small scooter as a genuinely comfortable two-adult option. A setup that works for a Vietnamese adult with a child can be cramped for two larger adults, so plan separate seats or scooters where possible.
