Adult scooter enthusiasts set for a ‘spin’

SPECIALIST cycling holiday provider Freewheel Holidays in Walkden, Greater Manchester has teamed up with Salford’s Swifty Scooters to launch the world’s first scooter holiday at Spin – the Cycling Festival which takes place at Victoria Warehouse in Stretford, starting on Thursday.

The seven-night self-guided tour will take place in the Austrian alps in July.  There are just 12 places on this trip which costs £819 per person including bed and breakfast accommodation in specially selected hotels and hire of a SwiftyZERO adult kick-scooter.
 
The ‘Lakes and Mountains’ tour takes you through Austria’s famous lake district, the Salzkammergu’. 

Steven Rittey from Freewheel Holidays said: “Hooking up with Swifty Scooters seemed a natural fit. 

“We’ve been thinking of running a scooter holiday for some time and Jason, Camilla and their team have really embraced the idea.

“And what better time to do it than here in Manchester at the Spin cycling festival, where we’re both exhibiting.
 
“The Austrian Lakes and Mountains tour is one of our best-selling cycling holidays so it’s fantastic to offer our customers this unique alternative which has never been done before.
 
“We’ll be tailoring the tour but essentially it will be the same experience as being on a bike, with flat or downhill paths and plenty of time to enjoy the stunning scenery. We can’t wait to be scooting round the Austrian lakes.”

Created by British product designer Jason Iftakhar, Swifty Scooters are designed specifically for adults, and claim their premium quality scooters to be the strongest and lightest on the market.  

Co-founder of Swifty Scooters Camilla Iftakhar said: “Scooting is a free and easy way to get about and accessible to all abilities, so using scooters on a touring holiday makes so much sense.
