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!

RÄLLLY FAQ

GENERAL

The RÄLLLY is an annual motorcycle outride event for womxn. We want female riders to go out, ride and socialise – this weekend is a great chance to enjoy an unforgettable road trip with your moto-sisters. Our goal is to connect and bring womxn with the same passion together. 

The RÄLLLY involves different tours around many cities worldwide. All tours will have a maximum distance of 300 kilometres / 185 miles.
