termediate and advanced for children from the age of 5 and upwards. All training
will use the world leading children’s electric motorcycles from OSET Bikes - specifi-
cally designed to help children learn core bike skills - with full kit and safety equip-
ment provided to all riders. If riders already have a bike, then they will be welcome
to bring this along to use.
Patsy Quick, who heads up Desert Rose and is best known as the first British
woman to finish the world famous Dakar Rally as well as previously winning the
British & European Enduro Championships:
“We are very excited about this new venture as all of us at Desert Rose are pas-
sionate about getting children into dirt bike and off-road riding and to give them
the core skills they will need to have a fun and successful life on two wheels. To do
this we firmly believe in a structured environment with the objective of starting
them safe and keeping them safe, whilst they have a great time in the great out-
doors!”
Patsy continued;
“All our instructors are fully ACU certified and come with many years of experi-
ence in off road riding around the world and delivering this experience as practi-
cal, informative and fun training courses designed for little riders.”
Each course last around 2½ hours and will cover everything that a child needs to
develop their off-road riding skills from using a twist style throttle for the first time
and correct standing and sitting body positions for beginner riders to heavy brak-
ing and riding steep and technically difficult climbs at the advanced level.
James Robertson, Head of Marketing for OSET Electric Bikes added,
“We are absolutely thrilled with this partnership and being able to offer kids the
chance to not only experience electric motorcycles, some for the very first time,
but more importantly getting the right skills and training so they keep their pas-
sion for riding throughout their lives.”
The Academy is taking bookings now, just in time for the school holidays and all
