Important stuff
Offroading close to home
Without knowing german, google will not give you an authoritative answer. The only clear off-limits areas are natural parks.
- Bavaria : Who the f*ck knows ? Forums on the internet are not clear. Apparently it varies according to the land.
- Tyrol : Who the f*ck knows ? Forums on the internet are not clear.
- To compare the law in France is pretty clear
- la circulation des véhicules à moteur est interdite en dehors des voies classées dans le domaine public routier de l’Etat, des départements et des communes, des chemins ruraux et des voies privées ouvertes à la circulation publique des véhicules à moteur. Il y a donc un principe d’interdiction dans les espaces naturels et ruraux, assorti de dérogations, et, a contrario, une ouverture à la circulation des véhicules à moteur sur la voirie qui n’est pas fermée de façon explicite à la circulation publique des véhicules à moteur. Une première disposition de restriction de la circulation concerne les parcs naturels régionaux, territoires ruraux par excellence.
- I would just need to call the mairie to know which tracks are open to motorcycles.
In any case I would have to buy a trialer to get somewhere. Not sure about which driving license I would need. This complicats matters further…
Related motorcycle clubs (less 1h hour drive)
I do not think I would find any english speaker, but I list the establishments just in case.
- trial club munich : interesting tutorial videos
- mcc hausham : close to miesbach
- mcs lechgau : close to landsberg am lech (to the west of munich)
Conclusion
trial or enduro ?
Although enduro is my end goal, it presents many disadvantages for the lone beginner :
- Cannot use it on the isar valley (cops will just fine my to death)
- Too big and heavy to put it in the car to get to any track
- I do not have a clue about places to ride
Trial are a low friction way to start riding on dirt. The isar valley is just 5min away. A small electrical trial should not bother other people on the valley.
which trial model ?
- kuberg : something does not look right, the specs are too good. But there is no one on youtube actually using it to jump big boulders.
- electric motion : sweet, french but too epensive. Looking at the amount of posts on ebay for any trial bike, the chances of resell look slim.
- getting it would be a hassle since you have to go to the dealership + immatriculation ? The quarantine context would make things slower…
- oset : a shame it has the lower power and battery. However it has reviews (even from googlers) and people can actually do cool stuff
- if I like trials, I could try to bike smith and trade the oset for an electrc-motion without losing all the initial investment (not sure about that though)
