FRP Motorcycle Rider Series Colorado Springs: Kids, Teens and Adults Ride Together

The second FRP Rider Series, same idea as the first

Houston in May was the first FRP Rider Series event. Colorado Springs in August was the second, held in the lot at Pikes Peak Harley-Davidson. The format did not change: free to attend, walk-ins welcome, no license or prior riding experience required, and nothing timed or scored. Families brought their own FRP bikes as well as riding the ones on the lot.

The point of the series is the same in every city — get the FRP community together in person, not just on a product page. Colorado Springs did that with a cone course, a bike lineup, and an afternoon where a six-year-old and a grown adult were riding the same stretch of pavement twenty minutes apart.

Who rode: kids on their first mini bike, teens on a GMB100

The riders spanned the same range FRP builds for. Younger kids worked the cone course on mini bikes in the 40cc class — blue, purple, white — some clearly on their first powered ride, a parent close by. Teens rode the GMB100, the model most families end up sharing once a kid outgrows the smaller bikes.

Nobody was sorted into an age bracket and told to stay there. That mixing — a little kid’s mini bike parked next to a teen’s GMB100 next to an adult’s — is what the FRP lineup is actually built to do: one platform a family can ride at every stage, not a single bike everyone has to share.

It wasn’t only boys on the course, either. Girls rode the same bikes, the same cone layout, no separate track.

The cone course, and the afternoon’s best moment

The cone course was the center of the day: a slow, controlled layout built for balance and steering rather than speed, the same format used at the Houston event. It is where most first-time riders spent their afternoon, working through the same turns other kids had just ridden.

Later in the day, an adult rider lifted the front wheel of a red mini bike for a few seconds — the kind of moment that happens naturally at an event like this once people are comfortable on the bikes, not a scheduled stunt or a competition.

The FRP team, helmet by helmet

A lot of the afternoon was smaller than a photo of a wheelie: someone from FRP kneeling down to buckle a chin strap, checking that a helmet actually fit before a kid rolled onto the course. FRP's founder was on site for it, not just for the group photos — fitting helmets, walking bikes over to first-time riders, the same as anyone else working the lot that day.

Family moments at the FRP backdrop

Families posed in front of the FRP backdrop throughout the day, several with more than one bike between them — a parent and a kid, or two kids on two different models. That is the picture FRP’s Rider Series is actually trying to create: not a single customer with a single bike, but a household that rides together across a few different FRP models at once.

Why FRP runs events like this

Two Rider Series events in one year — Houston in May, Colorado Springs in August — are how FRP backs up what it says about its bikes with something a spec sheet cannot: real people, at a real event, riding real FRP bikes next to each other. It is the same evidence referenced across FRP’s 865+ verified buyer reviews and the FRP community page — not a claim, something you can watch happen.

If you are deciding whether an FRP bike is right for a kid, a teen or an adult in your family, the kids’ buying guide, teen guide and adult guide go through fit and which model makes sense, model by model.

What’s next for FRP Rider Series

Houston and Colorado Springs are the first two stops. FRP is adding more cities through the rest of 2026. Announcements go up on the FRP Rider Series page and FRP’s social channels first.
