Scooter News Vmoto @ Le Minz Vmoto dominates class at the Le Minz 24 hr Scooter Race on the Gold Coast
Vmoto Australia The annual High Roller Le Minz 24hr Scooter Race recently held at Parklands Showgrounds on the Gold Coast has seen the Vmoto factory team take out the stock 50cc class on a Vmoto Matrix scooter, in which the manufacturer boasts can be purchased straight from a dealership showroom floor.
Twenty five scooters participated in the 24 hour non stop event with all major manufacturers present including Vmoto, Arqin, TGB, Yamaha, Peugeot, Aprilia, Bug and Daelim.
The Vmoto Matrix team consisted of three competitors, including Perth rider Tanwyn Travers from Vmoto's head office, plus Rob Morrell from the Sunshine Coast and Craig Euler from South Brisbane.
Together the trio completed 999.24kms trouble free over the 24hr period to give them a class win some 168km ahead of second place. The Vmoto Matrix team also managed to finish 14th overall ahead of many of the heavily modified scooters from competing classes including the unrestricted and modified class.
Commenting on the stock class win Vmoto Matrix team representative, Tanwyn Travers said, "The pace from the get go resulted in a number of spills on the track, but the Vmoto Matrix team remained consistent and we held our ground.
"We raced in three hour sessions with a five minute break in between so it was pretty tiring but a lot of fun at the same time.
"Scooter HQ dealership on the Gold Coast helped us with race preparations and throughout the event showed great team support in seeing us cross the finish line so they're also a big part of our dominance.
"We're stoked to take the stock class win, it confirms Vmoto scooters are the most reliable in their class on the market and can always go the distance."
Vmoto also had solo representation in the modified class, with Adam Thomas from the Gold Coast setting a record lap time combining all classes of 43.02 seconds on a Vmoto Monza 50cc scooter. Smith also took second place in the modified class.
