Course Breakdown

Overview

EMTBs are cutting-edge pieces of kit, but the rider often limits their potential. That’s where we come in. At our workshop, complete with a skills area on-site, we’ll help you maximise the enjoyment and performance you get from your bike. Bring your own or try before you buy with our fleet of E-Bikes, and let’s hit the trails together.

The Objectives

By the end of this one-day course, you will:

  • Understand Your Bike: Whether it’s your own EMTB or our Specialized Turbo Levo, you’ll gain intimate knowledge of the bike’s capabilities.
  • Master Fundamental Skills: From balance to braking, we’ll cover the essential EMTB skills.
  • Receive Personalised Coaching: Tailored to your needs and expectations, our coaching will give you the tools to take your riding further.
  • Develop a Personalised Action Plan: We’ll provide you with a customised plan to continue improving after the course.

What to Expect

Morning: Meet, Greet, and Assess

  • Discussion of Needs: We’ll talk through your specific needs and what you hope to achieve.
  • Skills Assessment: A quick evaluation to tailor the day’s training to your current abilities.

Throughout the Day: Training and Trail Riding

  • Skills Training: Utilise our purpose-made skills area for hands-on training.
  • Trail Exploration: Head out on the surrounding trails to put your new skills into action.
  • Bike Options: Bring your own EMTB or hire one of our Specialized Turbo Levo bikes.

Afternoon: Personalised Action Plan

  • Review and Feedback: Reflect on the day’s learning and receive personalised coaching.
  • Action Plan Creation: Leave with a customised plan designed to take your riding to the next level.

Join us for a day that promises not only to enhance your riding skills but also to provide an understanding of how to get the most out of your EMTB. It’s a day of fun, learning, and adventure that awaits you at our specialised centre. Try before you buy, or hone the skills to go with your own bike – the choice is yours!

Experience Required

You need to have basic bike riding skills. No matter what your fitness level, riding an E-Bike means that you can get up the hills with ease, like they don’t exist!
