Trials

Trials motorcycles are seat-less, single cylinder (or electric) bikes that are used in Trials competitions and also just for fun. Made popular in Europe, motorcycle trials have become a global attraction. All trials bikes are produced overseas, but many are available from U.S. dealers. They are made to ride over the toughest off-road terrain at low speeds. Trials riders seek out mud, logs, boulders, giant tires, basically anything that looks impossible to ride over. If you’ve never seen a trials competition, head on over to YouTube and be amazed.

Pros: Fun for all ages, from 3 up to seniors. You don’t need a lot of space to practice; many people practice in their yards or driveways. Cheap and easy to maintain.

Cons: Not street legal, no seat (but this is by design)
