E-Moto Camp
School's out. Now what?
Three months of summer. You already know how it ends — too much screen time, kids climbing the walls, you Googling "summer camp Austin" again at 11pm. Skip it. Three real days at Spoaks Moto Park, learning real dirt technique from the same coaching method we use on the MX side — dialed in for ebike riders ages 5 to 12.
- Out of the house.
- On real dirt.
- Tired by noon.
- Better by Thursday.
Three days.
One real skill set.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. 9 AM to 2 PM each day at Spoaks Moto Park. Same body-mechanics curriculum we teach to MX racers, condensed and adapted for ebike riders age 5 to 12. Whatever your rider walks in at, they leave a level better.
01.
Foundations
Body position, throttle control, where to look. The mechanics that separate "kid in the driveway" from "rider in control." No fast stuff yet — just locking in the base.
02.
Application
Cornering on dirt. Throttle and brake on loose ground. Repping yesterday's habits until they're automatic. By the end of day two they're linking turns and starting to flow.
03.
Locked in
Open laps. Real flow. Days one and two at speed. Charles holds the field, coaches one-on-one between sessions, and the day ends with a parent-friendly demo lap so you can see exactly how far they came.
If they own an ebike, they're invited.
- Kids ages 5 to 12.
- Stacyc, Sur-Ron Light Bee, KTM SX-E, Husky EE5 owners.
- Total first-time riders welcome.
- Riders bored of the cul-de-sac loop.
- Parents who want a real activity, not a babysitter.
- Families ready to make motocross the kid's next thing.
Real technique.
Same drills as the MX side.
Body position
The base every skill builds on. Locked in by lunch on day one.
Throttle control
Smooth on, smooth off. The biggest gap between "ebike kid" and "rider."
Cornering on dirt
How loose surfaces actually work. Inside foot, outside leg, eyes up.
Braking that doesn't wash
Where most kid crashes start. We fix the front-brake panic-grab.
Vision & line choice
Where to look and how far ahead. Cheap to learn, expensive to skip.
Drill bank to take home
The drills they can run anywhere — open field, parking lot, real track.
10 years of motocross. Now on ebikes.
Body mechanics translate. The same drills that turn raw amateurs into national-qualifier dirt bike racers turn raw ebike riders into kids who actually know what they're doing on dirt. This isn't a separate curriculum — it's the same one, scaled for smaller bikes and shorter attention spans.
Trained by the best.
Charles Sneed runs The MX Factory's Learn-to-Ride program. He's a certified MX Factory coach, trained directly by head coach Tre McCollough, and has personally coached over 250 first-time riders. He's the coach our parents specifically request — calm, patient, and very good at meeting young riders exactly where they are.
For a camp where 80% of the work is body-mechanics fundamentals on small ebikes, Charles is the right call. He won't push your kid into anything they're not ready for. He'll just make them better than they were when they walked in.

Before you sign up.
What kind of ebike qualifies?
Stacyc, Sur-Ron Light Bee, KTM SX-E 3/5, Husqvarna EE 2/3/5, Greenger, OSET, and any similar kids' electric dirt bike. The bike must be sized appropriately for the rider's age and skill level. If you're unsure about your specific bike, email us before booking.
My kid's never ridden — is this OK?
Yes. We build from zero. Charles has personally coached hundreds of first-time riders. Day one starts with the absolute basics, so even a kid who's never been on a bike will be riding by lunch.
What's the age range?
5 to 12. Riders need to be tall enough to safely reach the controls on their bike, and mature enough to follow a coach's directions. Email us if you're on the edge — we'll be honest about whether it's the right fit.
What about the Texas heat?
9 AM to 2 PM intentionally beats the worst of the afternoon heat. We have shade, water, and built-in rest breaks. We watch the heat index closely and adjust on-bike time if conditions get extreme.
What does my kid need to bring?
Their ebike (charged, with a spare battery if they have one), full gear (helmet, goggles, gloves, over-the-ankle boots required — chest protector and long pants strongly recommended), a refillable water bottle, snacks, and a packed lunch. We have water on-site for refills.
Drop-off and pick-up?
Drop-off at 8:45 AM, pick-up at 2 PM sharp. Parents are welcome to stay and watch — there's shaded seating. At least one parent or guardian must be reachable by phone during camp hours.
What if it rains?
We coach in light rain. If a day is genuinely unsafe, we reschedule that day to the next available makeup window or credit it toward a future camp. Full refunds don't apply for weather.
Refund policy?
Full refund up to 14 days before camp start. After that, registration converts to a credit valid for any MX Factory class or future camp. See our refund policy for full terms.
Do I need to sign anything?
Yes. A parent or guardian must sign The MX Factory's liability waiver, assumption-of-risk agreement, and photo release before the first day. You'll receive the waiver by email after registration. Riders without a signed waiver or required gear will not be permitted to participate, with no refund.
Risk & liability.
Motorsports are inherently dangerous. Operating an ebike, dirt bike, or any motorized vehicle on dirt involves risk of serious injury or death. Participants ride at their own risk. The MX Factory cannot and does not guarantee participant safety.
By registering and participating, the parent or legal guardian of the participating minor acknowledges and agrees:
- You voluntarily assume all risks of injury, property damage, and death arising from your minor's participation.
- You will sign a written Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement before the first day. Riders without a signed waiver will not be permitted to participate.
- You are responsible for the condition, maintenance, and legal operation of the bike your minor brings, including brakes, tires, throttle, and battery.
- Your minor will wear a DOT- or Snell-approved helmet at all times while on the bike. Additional protective gear is strongly recommended.
- A parent or legal guardian must be reachable by phone throughout camp hours and must sign all forms on the minor's behalf.
- The MX Factory may take photos and video at the event for marketing and instructional use. By registering you grant a non-exclusive perpetual license to use your minor's likeness, unless you specifically opt out in writing at check-in.
- The MX Factory reserves the right to refuse service or remove any participant who is riding unsafely or violating instructor direction, without refund.
- This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
Full refund & cancellation policy here. By completing checkout you confirm you have read and agree to these terms.
