E-trax Moira

[Dusty]

Anyone else been?

I was up a couple of weeks ago and had great craic at it. Proper electric motocross bikes, I've never been on one before but very easy to ride and even the non riders in our group had a blast.

£36 for 3 x 10 minute sessions which equates to almost 30 laps. Doesn't sound much but I can tell you i felt it by the end.

Might be worth a RMS bikers meet up sometime over the winter when we've all put our road bikes in for hibernation!

Couple of my mates have been who ride moto-x and they loved it. I'm thinking of heading down with a load of mates for the craic.

My brother done it a couple of weeks ago. He said it was brilliant

Forgot to mention, they provided everything we needed in terms of gear. There's also a cafe upstairs with a decent viewing gallery.

Im in if theres a forum trip

 

[gav525]

Yep, I'd love to give it a go! Been meaning to go but never had time, good to see so much positive feedback about it

 

[Ben]

Yep it's great! Did it a few weeks ago, near broke my collar bone coming off but that wouldn't stop me going again!

Takes a bit of getting used to coming from a road bike though, top tip, don't use the front brake!

 

[big-lew18]

Motocross is all rear brakes.lol. could get messy for a group of road bikers

 

[mike150]

Mx......Use both brakes 50/50
Road.......forget the back brake, well, a wee dab to clean the rust

Etrax is great, I've just watched at it and it's dull to watch but that's as the place is nearly silent. They where too busy the day I went, Have to get out at it.

Friend of mine works in it and we were there a few weeks ago. We are all very competent road riders with track experience too and all that means nothing on the dirt.

We all skirted round the low 50s Mark and only 1 lad did a 49s. It's mental to think the quickest lap time there is a 39s.

I'm up for an RMS day at it.

 

[gixermark]

One of my work mates was at it last night and thought it was great. He's mostly into trials but has had a lot of bikes mostly road and a fireblade for the track. Never done mx before.

This is epic craic. At the end of my first 10 min session I didn't think I'd have the energy to go out another 2 times.

[DriftnSlide]

I'd be up for this aswell.

No bother. But I'm not going with a bunch of bikers. I want a n00bs only session....

My kind of level, haven't been offroad in years

Trying to do this once a month, really love it. Off peak is a bargain at £24 for the 3 X 10 min sessions. Mode 2 on these bikes makes them a different animal .

Didn't know it was that cheap off peak, may head over tomorrow for a wee blast!

 

[big-lew18]

We tried to book it for 6 of us yesterday and the soonest date they could give was mid January

 

[Scuba Steve]

I’m in for it

 

[rollinstone]

I'm game to provide some comedy for the rest of ye

RMS day would be great. I managed to get a personal best 43.5 last wednesday, 39s in incredible. Could get the times down if the pressure was let out of the tyres, they must be about 40 psi.
