Demo ride leaves Squires Cafe (LS25 5LX) at 10:30 on Saturday 5th July, heading to Oliver's Mount Race Circuit in Scarborough (YO11 2YW) via the A64.
The run will terminate at the Olivers Mount race paddock where toilets and refreshments will be available. In addition, there will be a 25% discount on all Olivers Mount race event tickets bought on the day.
We intend to marshal the start and end points of the run but not the actual route itself, although there will be a lead rider in hi-viz and a back end marker, also in hi-viz. The route is listed below but it isn't essential the convoy needs to be kept together. Riders are encouraged to travel at whatever pace they are comfortable with, in adherence to all traffic laws on road legal motorcycles. If there are large numbers on the day, we will stagger the set-off (batches of riders set off at 5 minute intervals) as the intention isn't to cause traffic disruption but to highlight that a popular run to the sea side won't be as feasible on electric motorcycles, at least not in the same timeframe, as is possible on ICE motorcycles.
