Amped Bikes, one of the UK’s leading distributors of electric balance bikes, has partnered with EXGB to support the rapidly evolving EV youth race scene, in particular the newly-formed E-Bee All Stars series.
The four round national E-Bee Championship will get underway on the 28th of February at the popular Wheeldon Farm indoor circuit. It will then call at Portland, Dorset, and Brakehill Farm, near Kettering, before returning to Wheeldon for the grand final on the 14th of November.
E-Bee All Stars will cater for a wide range of Electric Balance bikes from 12” wheel models. With the largest capacity group, the 20” wheels, presented by Amped Bikes.
In addition to the championship rounds, a three to four day Festival is planned for the August bank holiday weekend, when the E-Bee Wight Stars Festival takes place on the Isle of Wight. A number of E-Bee Cool Ride practice events will also be in operation, where the emphasis will be placed on the youngsters having fun, while also having the opportunity to hone their electric bike race skills at indoor venues such as SX Worx in Sheffield.
Commenting on the initiative, Henry Maplethorpe of Dualways, the importer of Amped Bikes, said; “We’ve been following the efforts of the EXGB team for some time and have always been impressed by their professionalism and commitment to the youth electric bike movement. They have a programme that will see them expand throughout the UK and, at a time when we are poised to launch several new and exciting Amped models, it is a perfect opportunity for us to join them.”
Julie Coyne, EXGB Director, added; “We’re delighted to agree a partnership with Amped Balance Bikes as we continue to grow and develop EXGB. The electric off road and leisure motorcycle scene is growing at such a fast rate and there’s a lot of new manufacturers joining the market, so we’re happy to start a relationship with one of the most recognised, established and quality brands like Amped. We have a lot of exciting plans with EXGB and we’re looking forward to working with Amped across many of our events and future projects to encourage more kids and families into the world of off road motorcycling and all the benefits it brings.”
