Yes you absolutely fundamentally legally strictly require an official International Driving Permit specifically explicitly endorsed clearly for motorcycles. Furthermore you must physically personally take this permit directly to the Automobile Association in Colombo to get a temporary local Sri Lankan formal endorsement before legally operating any vehicle.

While many tiny deeply unregulated local beach rental shops might highly casually illegally rent you a scooter with just your home country license if the heavily active local traffic police stop you at a check point you will absolutely face a massive heavy on the spot financial fine.
