ELECTRIC (DIRT) BIKES AS A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

While most of the world is stuck in a struggle to balance between staying healthy and keep the economy afloat, this might be a good time to plan the next business venture. Now when businesses are getting shut down due to the Covid-19 restrictions, we have an idea that is sustainable even in the toughest of times: electric dirt-bikes! The need for social distancing and a safe exercise opened a unique opportunity for innovative companies that wish to embark on something new and exciting.

GREEN

Let’s start with the most obvious reason why you should invest in a business with e-bikes. They run on electricity which is a sustainable alternative to the ICE motorcycles. Due to the fewer moving parts, e-bikes are easier and cheaper to maintain, not to mention easy and affordable charging. If you are from the EU you can even get part of your investment founded by the EU funds.

VERSATILE

A fun part is that e-motorcycles can be easily customized to your customer`s needs. Some brands now offer e-bikes that can be adjusted to your customer`s skill by a simple push of a button. The power can be reduced for a beginner or turned up for a skilled rider. Kids` versions are already used for motocross practices and there are driving schools that are employing e-bikes for driving lessons.

INDOOR / OUTDOOR…

They can be used wherever! E-motorcycles are quiet and they don’t produce exhaust, so they can be used indoors. Imagine a “karting” track, but with electric motorcycles! On the other hand, electric dirt bikes are made for racing and climbing rough terrain. They move around almost soundless, so they are not scaring the wildlife or hikers in the woods.

BUSINESS IDEAS

Now that we know what makes e-motorcycles such an amazing vehicle, we will list a few ideas on how to include them in your business.

Motocross race-tracks are usually set far away from the settlements. The ICE motorcycles are too loud and dirty so they are not welcome guests in the towns. This could change with e-bikes. The race-tracks with e-dirtbikes can be a fun activity, set even in the most crowded area. As we had mentioned above, the tracks or the bike-park can be built indoors, keeping the business going even in bad weather.

E-dirt bikes can also be a great addition to tourism. You can take your guests on guided tours to the remote areas, observing nature and wildlife. E-dirtbikes can be easily customized to the terrain and the rider`s skills, making the trip enjoyable for a wide range of people. If you are not keen on guiding people around, you can always rent the e-bikes out.

Amazing tricks can be performed with the light and quiet e-bikes! If you are a trickster yourself, you could perform at events, or teach your skill to others. A great niche is to teach women how to race, and clean and light e-bikes are the perfect training vehicle.

The last one is for post-pandemic times when mass gatherings won’t be a problem: Organize electric dirt-bike races, e-bike shows, and exhibitions. You can gain revenue from the event by selling trade show booth space. You will need some money, time, and a site to fully set up your show, but all the finances and personal time you put into the business would be worth it in the end. This is a short-term project but if it works you might have a cash cow that returns every year.

They say that the best businesses grow out of hobbies. Be brave and turn your love of electric two-wheelers into a source of income!
