Question 1

What is the minimum age?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age is 16

Question 2

Do I need to have a motorbike Licence?

Accepted Answer

No, due to the nature of the experience,  the motorbike is secured in position. This means you don't need to know how to ride a motorbike as the team will take you through the basics of the throttle, gear and back brake. However, a lack of motorbike knowledge may impact your overall wheelie time.

Question 3

Do I use my own motorbike?

Accepted Answer

On our open days we don't allow people to use their own bikes due to the setup time each motorbike would take, however private bookings can be made on our website where you use your own motorbike in an exclusive 1-2-1 session.

Question 4

Do I need to bring safety gear and helmet?

Accepted Answer

There is no requirement to wear anything specific, if you wish to wear safety clothing, helmet or gloves, you are more than welcome too. Sensible footwear is a must! No sandles, flip flops, heels etc...

Question 5

Can I stand up on the bike?

Accepted Answer

No, the experience isn't about performing stunts. You are in a controlled learning area. The Wheelie Machine is designed for a few reasons, this is not one of them.

Question 6

Can I take pictures and videos whilst on the Wheelie Machine?

Accepted Answer

Not during your time on the bike, you will need all your concentration on the task in hand, however there will be an opportunity for pictures at the end with the Max Up Trophy and the bike. Any observer is free to take pictures and video your time on the Wheelie Machine though.

Question 7

If I have had a beer, can I go on the Wheelie Machine?

Accepted Answer

We operate in line with the UK road traffic law. If a staff member believes you are intoxicated or under the influence of anything else, then your entry will be refused. This is not personal, it is about keeping people safe.

Question 8

If I am enjoying it, can I extend my time by another 15minutes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes, we are more than happy to be flexible where possible, however if a booking is taking place after, then this unfortunately wouldn't be possible. We do recommend booking for the length of time you desire. Please do be aware 30minutes is very demanding on the body and mind.

Question 9

Is it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Motorbike activities by their nature contain elements of risk. The rider sits on a real sports motorbike although the axle is fixed so the bike can't fall over; the rear wheel is moving so some caution should be exercised when aboard the Motorbike.

Question 10

Is there a lot of noise?

Accepted Answer

Nothing that you wouldn't expect from an accelerating motorbike. Every precaution has been taken to make sure that the exhaust is as quiet as possible. We will have ear plugs available for those who wish for a pair.

Question 11

I can't make this date, do you have others?

Accepted Answer

Great news, yes we do. We travel throughout the UK and will list other events on our social media. We also appear at a lot of product launches, business open days and much more.

Question 12

It says sold out, can you not just squeeze 1 more on a the time?

Accepted Answer

We hate to disappoint anyone, we know there is a big demand for the Wheelie Machine, but if the time slow is sold out then we cannot fit you in at that time. Please do take a look at other slots and see if you can get on another time.

Question 13

Can I book over 30minutes?

Accepted Answer

Our open day limit is 30minutes. This is for a number of reasons, but as well as the Wheelie Machine being fun, the 15minutes time slot is mentally and physically exerting for any beginner or intermediate
