The potential for motorbikes to be used continuously indoors has never really been an option for petrol bikes because of all the noise and fumes. Very few indoor motorcycle events have ever been held in the UK and most last only a few days held in places like the NEC and the O2 dome.
But check out the potential here of Quantya’s ELECTRIC dirt bikes riding an indoor go-kart track – a 24/7 hire and ride operation would present no problem with noise or pollution at all!
What fun! What an opportunity! Get in touch if you have an indoor facility and care to consider a fleet of Quantya bikes for your business.
Quantya electric motorcycles are being ridden all over the UK and Europe right now and Quantyaparx just like this one in the video will soon be operating in the UK – watch this video and get in touch if you want to be one of the first to ride or open a Quantyapark near you.
Meet UK Sales Manager, Rob Montgomery, interviewed by the press at Ragley Hall, prior to Quantya’s appearance at the CLA Game Fair earlier this summer.
Quantya electric motorbikes work really well for trail and enduro style riding, tearing up hills with ease, flying over jumps, and weaving impressively round woodlands and forest trails. The 2 hour battery life is more than adequate for an enjoyable ride in natural surroundings – and then for longer runs batteries can now be swapped over in little over 1 minute if you have a spare one set aside, charged up and ready. As you can see here the Quantya bikes’ off road performance is truly amazing. This video from Switzerland shows some fast paced enduro trail riding action.
As many of you know we have been working on setting up QuantyaparX in the UK. This is an exciting concept which would create a chain of eco friendly and fun business’. Exactly what the UK needs right now. However we have encountered some stumbling blocks just as we were ready to really move forward with our first park in Kinver, Staffordshire. The parks would operate much like a go karting track, or quad trekking centre where they take bookings over the phone for groups, stag partys and corporate entertainment. There would only have been a small number of people around at any one time.
As is often the case – the press made uneducated and sensationalist articles condemning the project. You can see some of the comments the local newspaper the Express and Star and more from the Stourbridge News.
The main complaints from the public were regarding noise – the track was compared to a full scale motocross event that was held a few years ago. The locals were concerned the bikes would disrupt the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside. Obviously this is totally misguided as the bikes create no noise. They do not pollute either.
The planning permission was then refused on the basis of access. They were worried about the country roads dealing with a large increase in the traffic volume. Obviously with only group bookings and hired electric bikes to be allowed on the track this strictly limits the number of cars coming each day. This should cause little to no impact on local roads and residents near Beacon Lane and roads in or near Kinver.
We are asking everyone who wishes to support the local track to fill in our petition in order to help us appeal against the planning authority.
The CLA Game Fair was held between the 23rd and 25th of July at Ragley Hall near Alcester. The event saw huge crowds everyday with 144 000 people coming through the games over 3 days. We built a mini QuantyaparX set up with a few bikes and all the kit a park would require. The small track worked perfectly for the event with loads of people getting a chance to experience the bikes. Everyone from experienced motocross riders to kids who had never ridden a motorbike before rode the track and loved the bikes. Here is a small video showing some of the action from the weekend.
