E-Bee Wight Stars - Electric Dirt Bike Festival
Enjoy a week of action packed electric racing on e-dirt bikes at Smallbrooke Stadium and Robin Hill Adventure Park. One of the first 'offshore' events of it's kind.
What's On
Busy E-Bee’s set to swarm the Isle of Wight for fun in the sun!
We’re excited to announce our support of the inaugural EXGB ‘E-Bee Wight Stars’ electric dirt bike festival, which will take place on the Isle of Wight from Tuesday 18th August through to Saturday 22nd.
The E-Bee Wight Stars electric dirt bike festival will take place over two venues. It will spark into life at Smallbrook Stadium, Ryde, at 10am on Tuesday 18th with the young riders aged from 3 to 14 having the exclusive opportunity ride their electric balance bikes around the speedway circuit, which is also the home of ‘My First Skid Speedway School', a resident feature at Smallbrook stadium for anyone who lives on the island or visiting to try.
After having Wednesday free to explore the island, activities move to the fabulous Robin Hill adventure park on Thursday where the ever-eager kids will get their first chance to ride and learn the new permanent, all-purpose built electric balance circuit nestled amongst the trees before racing starts across Friday and Saturday. The new circuit will be a real gem, with some jumps, bumps, and banked turns to make it even more fun for the kids and improve their technical ability and plenty of tree cover to keep them, and their parents cool for the sun, hopefully than keep them dry!
Children’s electric balance bike riding and racing is booming and it’s no wonder. It’s affordable, accessible, and of course with the mini motorcycles being electric is environmentally friendly with no noise other than laughter form the kids having a truly great time and encouragement from the parents. But what’s best about it is how it keeps the kids healthy and active and brings families together from all over the country to make memories together. Another reason why Red Funnel is proud to be an event partner and help promote this wonderful recreational sport for all the family and help bring it to the beautiful Isle of Wight.
