Juniors Programme

We have decided to set-up a Junior Programme to mentor young bikers.

  • Learning to ride a motorcycle is an emerging life-skill.
  • It is possible to ride safely and incident free
  • Many young people want to ride motorcycles – but do not know where to start
  • It is currently not possible for an under-18 to be licensed in Kenya
  • Unlicensed riders are not allowed to access public roads.

  • Parents need to arrange transport from storage to activity location by:
    • Trailer
