EICMA 2011 video

EICMA 2011 - 69th International Motorcycle Exhibition

Check out our video from this year's EICMA motorcycle show which took place in Milan earlier this month. As usual there was loads to see at the show, we got the chance to have a quick chat with stunt rider Rok Bagoroš from Slovenia who spotted us in our Pedstop tees. Rok put on a good show on the new KTM 125 Duke street bike, watch him in action in our vid. 2011 seemed to be the year of the maxi scooter at EICMA with the world premiere of the new BMW C600 maxi scooters, the revamped Yamaha TMAX which looked pretty wicked and a new maxi scoot from Honda. If maxi scoots aren't your thing then there was still plenty to see at the 50cc end of the spectrum with the new Italjet Dragster which looked pretty cool, the usual eye candy from Polini, Wipe2's Stage6 Street Dragster prototype, we also met up with Olivier Murro, the designer behind this amazing scooter. So without further ado, sit back and watch our latest PED TV production:

If you didn't get to Milan to check out what is arguably the biggest and best bike show on the planet, then let us take you on a virtual tour of EICMA 2011 in our Flickr gallery. The Pedstop crew were there once again and there was plenty to see ranging from the latest nifty fifties to state-of-the-art maxi scooters like the new BMW C600 range and the new Yamaha TMAX. We took literally hundreds of pics at the show and we've uploaded a selection of them to our Flickr account (take a look at our slideshow below), we'll upload some more photos soon.

Show time: Why not get yourselves to Motorcycle Live which takes place at the Birmingham NEC 19-27 November?

Pedstop Race Team: 2011 Race Colours

Here's a preview of the new Pedstop Race Team colours for 2011. Our trio of Polini-powered racing Zips will be making an appearance in their new colours at Cadwell Park next month. The special aqua coloured body panels are arriving later than expected but it'll be worth the wait!

The North Run 2011

If you only go on one rideout this year then make sure it's The North Run. As well as the mass scooter ride itself to look forward to, there's a bunch of things in store at this year's destination - Castle Syke Hill, Ackworth, West Yorkshire.

Grass Track Racing - If the madcap antics of the rideout itself isn't enough to give you an adrenaline rush then a quick blast around a grass track should give you your fix of speed. The entry fee is just £1 using your own bike, or for £5 you can have a go on ours.


Sprint Competition - Having our own venue has opened up all sorts of possibilities so this year we'll be hosting a 100 yard grass sprint competition - forget Santa Pod this is drag racing Yorkshire style! As an added incentive we'll award a trophy to the fastest rider of the day.

Bucking Bronco Shootout - Mount the Bucking Bronco and unleash the inner cowboy (or cowgirl) in you. We've got some prizes set aside for those of you who possess the best Rodeo skillz. There will be winners and there will be losers, either way it'll be a laugh!

Custom Scooter Awards - We know there are some great custom scooters out there, so we'd love to see your pride and joy entered into our custom scooter competition. We've got some bling in the form of a trophy to award to the best looking modified scooter in the eyes of the judges. Top scooters could also get a feature on the PETROL Scooter Magazine website.

Stunt Arena - Grass and bales of hay to play in, that's the theme for the Stunt Arena. We're on the look out for stunting talent so let's see what tricks you can come up with.

Entertainment - Bangin' tunes will be played throughout the day with a DJ hitting the decks and rumour has it some strippers will make an appearance at the end of Saturday night...

The North Run 2011 - Be there...



The North Run 2011 begins at 9am on Saturday 23 July at Adrenalin Pedstop in Carlton, Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Full route details can be found here. Camping at Castle Syke Hill is free.

All riders are welcome on The North Run - geared scoots, autos, motorcycles, the more the merrier. It doesn't cost anything to take part. We won't be going on any motorways, so riders with L-plates can join in. If you want to camp at Ackworth then bring a tent, it won't cost you anything to pitch a tent either. Catering vans serving food and refreshments will be on site and toilet facilities. To make things easier, we'll be providing transport for riders who want to offload camping gear (Tip: Make sure you put labels on your stuff then it'll be easier to find when we get to Ackworth). Attractions include a bucking bronco, kickstart style grass track racing, trophies and prizes for best custom scoots, merchandise, a DJ knocking out some banging tunes and a surprise spectacle to keep you all entertained...

As usual we'll keep you all informed of any new developments leading up to the event, but for now it's looking good.

The North Run 2011

The North Run, now in its third year, has evolved from a mass scooter ride to the coast to a festival style event involving camping and entertainment at a new destination in the Yorkshire countryside.



Given the rising popularity of the event, the congestion in Scarborough, not to mention the hold-ups on the A64 to contend with, The North Run needed room to expand so we thought we’d try something a little bit different in 2011. So this year’s North Run will see riders head out on a whistle stop tour of West and South Yorkshire starting at the usual meeting place – Adrenalin Pedstop HQ in Carlton, Barnsley. A true North Run in every sense, proposed stop-off points include Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster, Pontefract, Castleford, Leeds and Wakefield before heading out to Ackworth near Pontefract where riders can relax and unwind in the open countryside. Proposed attractions include trophies for best custom scoots, a grass track kickstart style competition, a bucking bronco (so you can laugh at your mates), a DJ and a surprise spectacle to liven things up a bit…

Catering vans serving food and refreshments will be present on site as well as toilet facilities. A van will be provided for riders wanting to offload camping gear so as not to be too laden down during the ride. Riders may join The North Run at different meeting points during the rideout, full details of the route to follow. The event is free to attend and all riders are welcome, the more the merrier.

If you only go on one rideout this year, don’t miss out on this one!

The North Run 2011 starts at 9am on Saturday 23 July at Adrenalin Pedstop, Unit 1, Longfields Court, Middlewoods Way, Wharncliffe Business Park, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, S71 3HR
