A modular pumptrack is a track designed to allow perpetual motion through pumping up and down motions rather than pedaling. It can be used for any wheeled sport and provides fun for all ages and skill levels. Modular pumptracks are constructed from modules that can be assembled quickly and reconfigured easily. They have advantages over traditional pumptrack construction methods like being quality assured, having lower maintenance costs, and being expandable.
2. the
grand
discovery
What is a Modular Pumptrack?
A Modular Pumptrack is different to the
traditional BMX or MTB track as they are
designed with the perfect form to allow
perpetual motion with a simple “pumping
up and down” motion, rather than
requiring pedalling.
This means any wheeled sport can be
done on a Modular Pumptrack and with
the perfect form comes the most fun you
can have on wheels! Most people, upon
their first ride on a Modular Pumptrack
are amazed at just how easy and enjoyable
it is. The perfect form means a smooth
and easy riding motion with banked turns
which do the work for you.
The best way to understand the reasons
why are to simply ride it. You’ll be hooked,
which is why we say “ride it again”.

4. award winning
build methodS
Timber Composite
The timber framed track is Bikeparkitect’s original and
most versatile product. These structures have proven
their durability in the harshest environments: from the
deserts in Dubai to the snow of the French Alps.
Top quality timber is cut and treated to protect against
water and insects, and all fasteners are rust proof.
Bikeparkitect’s Modular Pumptrack System has various build
methods using different types of materials. All use patented,
award winning, modular design and can be tailored to suit the
needs of the local riders, the budget and the surroundings.
Added to the timber frame is a fibreglass composite
riding surface to give the perfect nonslip riding solution.
Engineered for long life, low maintenance and high grip,
this riding surface gives instant confidence to everyone
riding the track.
Timber modular tracks are light enough to
be transported to events and strong enough
to be installed permanently in public spaces.

8. COMMUNITY
Engage and excite your community facility with the inclusion of
a Modular Pumptrack. A flexible, interactive, engaging activity
draw-card for your indoor or outdoor space. Whether for an existing
community group or to engage customers at a hospitality facility,
nothing activates a range of age groups and multiple users at the
same time, like an active and flexible Modular Pumptrack.
Fun for all ages
From the early stages of riding a balance bike or scooter
for a 3 year old, to the hard-to-keep-entertained
teenagers and adults of all ages and abilities, a Modular
Pumptrack is fun for everyone. With little or no danger
of major injury due to minimal jump heights and low
speeds, a Modular Pumptrack can not only engage
multiple abilities but all at the same time. It is easy
to have 10 or more riders on a track at once with
each having minimal impact on the others. Passing is
relatively easy where there is a speed differential and
younger riders can even ride virtually side by side.
Flexible and fast
With easy and quick setup, pack-down and
reconfiguration of the track, your space can be
transformed in as little as a couple of hours, into an
action packed, crowd-pleasing all-wheel entertainer.
Entertainment all year round
With the ability to set up indoor or outdoor and switch
between the two in a minimum of time, transitioning
between seasons is easy. Whether it is to engage riders
indoors in winter for snow regions or rainy areas, or to
transform a court space into a bike track with minimal
fuss, the flexible, responsive format allows maximum
benefit from minimal space and resources.

10. WHY
Modular
Pump
Tracks?
Quality Assurance
Modular Pumptrack systems are built in controlled
environments by skilled and professional staff.
Quality is paramount and each piece undergoes
a rigorous inspection before being shipped off
for installation.
Health and Safety Certificates
Traditional build methods like dirt or asphalt are
difficult to certify and can be expensive to insure.
Bikeparkitect’s Modular Pumptracks have health
and safety certificates for each module giving the
investor piece of mind while maintaining the ability
to be creative with materials, track length, and
custom layouts.
Modular Pumptrack
Systems hold significant
advantages over traditional
pumptrack build methods.
Low Maintenance Costs
The yearly cost of maintaining a Modular Pumptrack is
significantly lower than any other build method.
With materials like dirt, clay, pour in place concrete or
asphalt, investors will need to constantly check for and
repair damage from everyday use, weather and erosion.
Economics
Modular Pumptracks are significantly less
expensive than most other materials because of
their prefabricated nature. The cost of wholesale
materials vs retail and the shorter time required to
manufacture in a controlled environment ensures
the investor gets the most “pump” for their money.
Expandability
Having the ability to expand a structure within a
dynamic new recreation facility or within a growing
community is fundamental. Larger projects can be
split up into several phases, spanning several years;
or a “safe first step” can be taken without the financial
risk of a huge scale project.
Versatility
The tracks are engineered to cater to the widest range
of sports, age groups and skill levels possible. They can
be simultaneously enjoyed by cyclists, skateboarders,
scooters, roller/inline skates and just about anything else
on wheels. Whether you are just starting out or a top
athlete, fun and fitness are guaranteed!
Neighbour Friendly
Modular Pumptracks are clean, quiet and beautiful to
look at. Problems with traditional build methods such as
mud, dust, and poor aesthetic properties are all instantly
resolved. They create a community environment
by catering to a vast population and bridging the
generation gap between age groups.
Installation Method Choice
All Modular Pumptrack products can either be installed
temporarily without the need for project documentation
or building permits; OR permanently as part of a larger
scale recreational facility, playground or park feature.
Movability
If for some reason, at some time in the future,
the track needs to be relocated, it is just a matter of
hours to disassemble and reinstall the pumptrack in
a new location. For this reason Modular Pumptracks
retain their value and can be resold at any point
during their lifetime.

11. FAQs
How long does it take to assemble
a Modular Pumptrack?
The average time for assembly is approximately
5 minutes per module per person. This means that
a “Speed Ring” track can be installed by 2 people
in about 90 minutes and a “World Cup” track
in about 3 hours. On average disassembly takes
roughly half as long as assembly.
On what surfaces can a Modular
Pumptrack be installed?
The product can be installed on any flat surface not
exceeding a 5% slope. The surface should be relatively
smooth and free of any debris. The structure is not
designed to span over undulations in the terrain and
should be firmly in contact with the ground under all
of its contact points.
What is the Riding Surface made from?
The riding surfaces are made of fibreglass composite
material with a layer of an anti-slip system that
Bikeparkitect developed in house with pro riders from
all disciplines of wheeled sports and material experts.
It can be easily repaired and repainted with materials
that you can find at any hardware store.
Does the Modular Pumptrack come with
a warranty?
Yes. For timber composite modules Modular
Pumptrack offer a 2 year warranty against all
manufacturing and material defects and the precast
concrete tracks come with a 15 year warranty.
How much space are we going to need?
The Modular Pumptrack system can be custom fitted
to any size area. The minimum size is 6x17m and the
maximum size is UNLIMITED, whatever your budget
and imagination can accommodate.
Can we request custom colours?
Yes. There is a small surcharge for custom colour on
the composite riding surface and manufacturing time is
longer (6 weeks minimum) because these are not stock
items. The fibreglass resin is saturated with the chosen
colour so that even when the surface is scratched the
same colour is found throughout the whole thickness.
The sides of all of the parts are always the same colour.
How long is the structure going to last?
The minimum life expectancy of the timber composite
tracks is 10 years. The precast concrete tracks are
expected to last for over 20 years. These figures
take into consideration properly scheduled maintenance
and care.

“Pumptracks teach the basics of a lot of action sports.
Kids learn how to handle their bikes, skateboards and scooters
without the risk of major injury. In my opinion, pumptracks should
be as fundamental in towns as playgrounds or soccer fields.”
