petrolettes MISSION

EMPOWERING & SUPPORTING FEMALE+ RIDERS WORLDWIDE

Petrolettes started as the first motorcycle festival for womxn in Europe in 2016 to provide a platform for diversity in the male dominated motorcycle culture. The first Petrolettes RÄLLLY in 2020 brought together female+ riders worldwide through a shared experience.

Today, Petrolettes FESTIVAL is the largest womxn’s motorcycling event in Europe. Petrolettes creates new ways to empower riders daily. Our mission is to unite and elevate female+ and womxn riders across the globe in a powerful, inspiring community.

We especially encourage BIPOCs, TRANS-FEMALES, GENDER FLUID, GENDER QUEER, GENDER NON-CONFORMING, NON-BINARY, and INTERSEX PEOPLE to join our forces!

If you have any concerns or questions about inclusion and a safe experience at Petrolettes FESTIVAL, please contact us directly!

In 2018
we hosted the 3rd edition of our beloved PETROLETTES festival. The festival took place in Ahlimbsmühle (abourt 1 hour north of Berlin) and included many highlights such as a big ride out, a mini cross race ‘Chiquitas Banditas’ and of course our motorcycle carousel. As every year we presented the best of motorcycle fashion at our market place and guests won some fantastic prices at our favored raffle.

 

This year’s performances were held by Laura Carbone and her hypnotic post-punk sound, Eat Lipstick and their notorious punk-rock and Valentina DeMonia’s mesmerizing fire show.
