Ride our demo fleet at Star Glen.


📅 Friday 20 November 2026
📍 Star Glen Lodge, 211 Star of the Glen Rd, Bonnie Doon VIC 3720
🕙 Ride starts 10am


The Melbourne Powered crew is heading to Star Glen for our team Christmas party, and the demo fleet is coming with us. On Friday 20 November we're opening the gate: up to 8 riders, one bike each. Fewer riders, more riding.

Test rides, not joy rides: 2 to 3 hours of private enduro trail on the bike you're weighing up, then lunch with the crew. Names in by Friday 13 November.

$250 covers the bike, your Star Glen day fee and lunch ⚡
Nothing to pay to register. Craig or Zac calls you, confirms your seat, and takes payment in full before the day.

How It Works

  1. Ask for a test ride - tell us which bike you want to ride. Takes 30 seconds.
  2. We call you - Craig or Zac rings with the full run-down, confirms your seat and takes payment.
  3. Head up early - Star Glen is about 2 hours from Melbourne, and the ride starts at 10am.
  4. Ride - a run-down of the controls and power modes, then 2 to 3 hours on private enduro trail with the crew. That's roughly one battery.
    This is a test ride with a decision at the end, not a free day out.
  5. Lunch - at the Star Glen bistro, with the team you'll deal with if you buy.

Venue / Trail

Star Glen Lodge (Bonnie Doon)

211 Star of the Glen Rd, Bonnie Doon VIC 3720
About 2 hours from Melbourne.


500 acres of private enduro trail in the hills near Lake Eildon, plus a motocross track out the back and a bistro for lunch.


We stay on Star Glen's own trails all day. The state forest next door needs recreational rego, and fines run to $988.

Who's this for?

Riders seriously weighing up an e-moto, and anyone who has always wanted a proper go on one. Test rides, not joy rides: real trail time on the bike you're eyeing, and a chat at the end, not just a lap count.

Already own an e-moto? Bring it and ride with us. You sort your own Star Glen day fee ($45, or $30 for 16 and under) and lunch, and the trails are open until 5pm.

YOUR TIME TO RIDE

Up to 8 riders. Fewer riders, more riding.
Names in by Friday 13 November.

FAQ

What happens if it's a Total Fire Ban day?

Star Glen doesn't allow riding on a Total Fire Ban day. If one is called for Friday 20 November, the ride is off and demo riders get their $250 back in full.

We'll SMS and email everyone by 9pm the night before (and post it to @melbournepowered.emoto stories).

What does the $250 cover?

The bike for the ride, your Star Glen day fee ($45 on its own) and lunch at the bistro, plus 2 to 3 hours on the trail with the crew.

Nothing to pay to register. Once Craig or Zac confirms your seat on the phone, it's paid in full before the day.

Why only up to 8 riders?

Fewer riders, more riding.

One bike each, 2 to 3 hours on the trail, and no waiting around while someone else has your bike. It's our demo fleet and the crew is riding too, so we keep the group small on purpose.

Can I ride more than one bike?

You pick one bike and it's yours for the ride. If the day allows, you might get a quick squirt on another, but it's availability only, no guarantees.

Worth remembering what the day's for: working out whether the bike you've been eyeing is the bike you buy.

Can I bring my own e-moto?

Yes. Ride with us on your own bike. You pay your own day fee at the Star Glen office ($45, or $30 for 16 and under) and your own lunch, and the trails are open until 5pm.

Leave your name and mobile on the bring-your-own form and we'll text you the details closer to the day.

Is there an age limit?

Demo seats are 18 and over. Under 18 can ride with a parent or guardian who's there on the day.

What gear do I need?

Full MX kit or you don't ride. It's Star Glen's rule, not ours.

AS1698, Snell or ECE helmet, MX boots (no sneakers), gloves, goggles, long sleeves and long pants, plus ambulance cover.

Do I need riding experience?

You'll ride at your own pace, and the crew will match the ride to you. Star Glen's trails suit a range of riders.

That said, this is real off-road trail, so tell Craig or Zac where you're at when they call and they'll steer you to the right bike.

Why can't I test ride at the store?

Electric dirt bikes are for private property and proper trails, not the streets around Ascot Vale.
So we take the bikes somewhere they can be ridden the way they're meant to be ridden.
