Surrey Hills sessions
Where the UK Talaria scene meets after dark: the Surrey Hills sessions, the etiquette of riding quiet bikes near people, and why electric changed the culture.
It starts as a group chat and ends as headlights on a hillside. The Surrey Hills sessions are informal, unofficial, and exactly the kind of thing electric dirt bikes were made for — quiet enough to be neighbourly, quick enough to be serious.
Riders swap builds, trade lines, and settle debates the only way that matters: back to back up the same climb. It is community as much as riding, and it is spreading across the UK.

The scene grew for a practical reason. Electric bikes can ride at hours and in places where a two-stroke would have the police called within minutes — which is a privilege the group treats carefully rather than a loophole to exploit.
The etiquette is unwritten but firm: permission first, no riding where you have not asked, no roost near walkers, lights on after dusk, and everyone leaves with whatever they brought in. The bikes are quiet enough that the only thing that gets a session shut down is behaviour.
It is also where a lot of buying decisions actually happen. Turn up, ask, and someone will let you sit on a Sting Pro or a Komodo and tell you honestly what they wish they had bought instead.
