KTM presence at green ‘Day in the Dirt’ for Electric bikes
By TMX Archives on 22nd Jul 15
KTM and its official electric bike experience partner, E-Scape, will attend the "High Voltage - Day in the dirt for Electric Bikes" taking place at Nantmawr Quarry, Oswestry, on August 8. The event will also host the UKs first ever all-electric off-road race.
Assisted by Kendal-based KTM dealer, Triple D, the event is the first of its kind in the UK that focuses on electric-power off-road motorcycles and will allow adult riders the chance to try the benchmark-setting Freeride E range, including the E-SX and E-XC models in a green-lane setting. The sessions run from 9am until 1pm and cost just £15 for a 15-minute ride, with riding kit provided.
E-Scape, the UK's number one E-Park, are a major supporter of High Voltage and as well as providing demo rides on the Freeride E, the Cheshire-based facility will also host The E-SCAPE HARE SCRAMBLES at the event – the first ever all-electric off-road race in the UK.
With an emphasis on ‘fun', these six-lap races held over four heats are open to experienced and ‘keen' adult riders who will be able to hire a KTM Freeride and take part in the event with an exciting eight-lap final that is promising to be a real spectator special in the base of the quarry. Running from 2.30-4.30pm, only 40 places are available with an entry fee of just £40.
Adult riders are urged to book now for the chance to play a part in dirt-bike history. Call Stuart from E-Scape on 07973 363309 or emailstuart@e-scape.org.uk to book a place on a KTM Freeride E.
The High Voltage event also offers a whole range of electric-powered activity and entertainment for all age groups. Admission and parking is free, but try-out sessions on the bikes vary in cost.
