Our sidecars

Oh, that’s really worth talking about.

All of our tours are on–wheels ones as we ride our legendary Russian sidecar motorcycles – URAL. Originally coming from Soviet times these machines are the symbol of reliability and durability. You can still find thousands of them cruising along the far remote rural areas of Russia. As for us, we decided to use the brand new bikes, manufactured in 2020 at the factory in the heart of Ural mountains.

There are two seats available for our tourists – one is a pillion seat behind the driver, second is in the sidecar. Both of them are very comfy to sit during a short-time city rides. And of course you should not worry about the visibility: no roof and no windows meaning you will have a perfect 360° view of the entire city.

Apart from having a perfect knowledge of city’s history our guides are experienced motorcycle drivers. That means that your “ginger” ride will not only be informative but also comfortable and safe.

By the way, safety is one of our biggest assets. It is a must for us to provide you with our ginger helmets for you not only to stay safe but also to look stylish.
