Last week we signed a deal with Trailworld to become the first Quantya hire centre in the UK to open. They are an established outdoor activity company with a wealth of experience in running trail riding courses on combustion engine bikes and also quad bikes and off road segways. Based in Hertfordshire they are now running two activities featuring the Quantya electric motorbikes: ElectroTrex which is all about trail riding and ElectroMX, a track based experience. No experience is required for either activity.

Trailworld will have 6 Quantya Track bikes at their centre.

Trailworld will be running an official open day on Sunday 3rd October. We welcome you to come down and be a part of the day. Read more about the activities on offer and find out how to book here: Quantyaparx at Trailworld.

This video showcases the park at Imbach/Krems and shows just how fun the bikes can be.

A new Quantyaparx has opened in Madrid as part of the Carlos Sainz karting centre. Carlos Sainz is obviously a big name in the motor industry and his karting centre is state of the art. They have both an outdoor and indoor track allowing them to operate year round. This is also a new twist on the Quantyaparx theme as they are using tarmac go kart tracks as opposed to the usual dirt bike tracks. This appeals to a whole new demographic of motorbike fans.

After deciding we needed to build our own test track and spending a couple of days working on it, we knew it needed a good testing. We got out the Quantya Track we have set up with knobbly tyres and gave it a blast around the track. As the track was still freshly built it needed a little riding in. AJ got his boots and helmet on and started racing round.

The track is designed to be tight and technical – perfect for the Quantya. This test track is not meant to be a full on race track, just somewhere people can demo the Quantya and we can test. It is a lot of fun to ride as you can see from the pictures.

As some of you may already know from my Twitter updates (follow us @Quantya) we have been building our own test track for the Quantyas. This gives us somewhere to demo the bikes and also keep testing and working on R&D.

We have some land out behind the office – and it was a great stop to build our track.We started by rotivating the land to break it up and mark out the track.

The next stage was to bring in the digger and start sculpting the land a little bit. This takes a while and requires a bit of skill, and previous experience with a digger. Ours was done in just over a day.

A new Quantya Park has opened in Imbac, next to Krems, Austria.

It is great to see more Quantya Parks finally opening. They have been running for a while in Germany now and proven to be very succesful. The premise is simple. You take a piece of land and build a track then hire out a fleet of Quantyas in the same way Go Karting or Quad trekking works. On top of a fleet of bikes – appropriate safety equipment is also required. This includes helmets, boots and gloves.

The tracks are built in a way which will suit the Quantya and the people who will ride it. Ideally a beginners area which is easily navigated and free of obstacles for people to receive instruction and also get used to the bike controls (which are really simple).
A more complex track with turns, berms, and small jumps is the next step for intermediate and more advanced riders. This is where the bulk of the riding will be done.
We have yet to establish any in the UK although there has been interest. It is very likely centres will be set up in the near future. If you are interested in setting up a centre, we have all the information required and can help you through every step of the process.
