Electric Motion Bike Test Rides at Inch Perfect Trials, Clitheroe

Located in the market town of Clitheroe, Lancashire, Inch Perfect Trials Ltd offers an electrifying introduction to one of the UK's most thrilling motorbike disciplines: Electric Motion trials riding. This experience centers on a complimentary or extended test ride—20 minutes or up to an hour—on state-of-the-art Electric Motion bikes, designed to deliver powerful torque with zero emissions. Clitheroe itself is perched on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with rugged terrain and ancient woodlands providing an excellent backdrop for outdoor motorcycling. The business has carved a unique niche by marrying cutting-edge electric trial bikes with a welcoming space to test your skills.

Unlike other motorbike experiences, trials riding focuses on bike control and balance over technical, low-speed obstacles rather than speed or distance. At Inch Perfect Trials, riders get to feel the immediate response of Electric Motion’s brushless motors as they negotiate simulated obstacles and natural terrain features crafted for trial maneuvers. The ride itself is as much about finesse as it is about power, offering a sensory connection to Lancashire’s limestone outcrops and rolling green slopes rarely accessed by typical motorbikers.

Offering a test ride fee credited towards purchase, the opportunity to sample this quiet yet potent form of riding appeals to seasoned riders interested in the future of electric motorcycling and those curious about a low-impact, precision sport. Situated a short drive from Clitheroe’s historic castle and local amenities, Inch Perfect Trials enhances the outdoor options around Lancashire by blending sustainable tech with traditional trial riding techniques. This hands-on experience invites riders to push boundaries in a laid-back, expertly supported environment, making it a standout destination for electric trials enthusiasts or those seeking a fresh challenge on two wheels.
