Well, what can I say,

First impressions were,
Where is the rest of it,
Why are people scared of this.

Then turned the power up and got playing,
Well when on tilt is properly impressive.
Grunty and flowing. Twist and go so no gears to worry about and as much as I hate to admit it.
Did really enjoy it.

Wouldn't mind another go as was that much fun.

Yes did miss a bit of the smells and the noise.
But it means could ride places and not annoy the neighbours/horses etc.


Cheers si for organising it,
And if anyone gets a chance to try one,
Do it! It's a experience.

That was really good fun.

Think mountain bikes, with suspension and a whole load of naughtiness under the right grip. Tis a bit strange to start with as no gears but that doesn't bother you for long.
Eco and sport modes with varying Torque settings, find your happy place and get busy.

Nice flowing track with plenty of opportunity to get sideways or airborne, but at the same time you can just plod round and enjoy getting smooth lines.

Ten minute sessions then off for ten to catch your breath and hydrate. Lots of time to have a play and a battle too (Last session of the day for us).

Well worth the trip, will be doing another one in 2023 for sure.

On the first session we had settings on really slow and relaxed eco mode and it felt dull. Changing settings to power mode livened it up and made me giggle all the time. We had so much fun, especially in the last session when the macho competitiveness kicked in and we became teenagers racing their mates on exactly same spec machines. Lots of overtaking and undertaking was involved then. It was a blast. Would love to do it again soon.
