E-Bike Discovery Session at the Nannup Tank 7 Bike Park

This lesson debunks a lot of the misconceptions that are out there about eBikes and digs into how good these bikes are from a skills perspective. These lessons are small group sessions, with 8 riders being the maximum group size. 

You'll learn how eBikes open up a whole new bunch of fun trail options for you. What were once trails that you only rode if you wanted to slog it out and get fit, are now turned into flow trails! If you are into training, we'll explain how eBikes are actually perfect tools for that... for both skills and fitness training. 

The obvious difference the eBike makes is in the climbing... so we'll look at the little things you can do to create more fun and flow from climbing! But don't ever think that the only advantage is in the climbing though... no way! Descending on an eBike is so much fun! The extra stability and grip they provide is next level so we'll look at how to take advantage of that too.

Your coach is an experienced qualified coach who has raced eBikes in the WA Gravity Enduro series for the last few years. In 2023 he competed solely on the eBike and took out the overall state championship for the 40+ Male category. He's also a local trail expert so he knows where the trails are that will suit your skill level and give you the best experience. The local bike hire providers offer a range of different bike brands too, so is a good way to try a few out.

What Else Is There To Know?

An even spread of skill level in the group works best, however if some of your riding mates are at a different skill level, our qualified skill coaches can assist and up-skill a beginner/moderate level mountain biker, while still challenging an experienced mountain biker. There are some questions in the booking process to help us understand where each rider is at in terms of skill level, which helps us plan the session.

Mountain biking is all about being out in nature, which also means conditions are impossible to predict and out of our control. If we have to cancel due to unsafe or unfavourable weather and you can't reschedule, we have back up tours around the greater area for some sight seeing and visiting some local attractions.

The different bike hire providers have different agreement structures in place to deal with any damages caused by the client during the session. Some structures include a set $250 refundable bond, through to they just charge your credit card for any damages. If there's no damage done, there's no extra cost. You will be dealing with the provider directly and pay them for the hire. We'll reserve your bike for you and bring it to the session and have a copy of the hire agreement for you to sign. The sooner you book this session, the more likely there'll be a bike available.
