Mark Thomas, of MT3 Events, said; “We are delighted that Amped Bikes enjoyed a successful first year when it partnered with us to promote the Amped EMX Sparks British Masters. The Amped bike racers enjoyed hard-fought racing in 2025, with Jake Carless showcasing the performance of the Amped Pro 20 to win the class and pick up a new Amped bike in the process.
“Each round delivers a professionally run, and fun experience, with championship-standard tracks, precise electronic timing, and a buzzing paddock atmosphere, giving every rider, from first-time racers to rising stars, a platform from which to shine.”
Henry Maplethorpe of Dualways, the Amped UK distributor, added; “We were one of the first companies in Europe to enter the electric balance bike market and have engaged in a big development programme for our Amped models over the past eight years. Our association with leading race events such as EMX Sparks, that focus on classes specifically for youth e-bikes, has provided feedback that helps with every Amped model development.
“We are now poised to introduce a new race-inspired Amped Comp range of machines with 18”, 20” and 24” wheel versions. We anticipate they will set a benchmark in the electric balance bike market, and we can’t wait to see them on the race track this year.”
