- Request now, pay after the operator confirms.
Skip to content Version 2, 10 October 2026. These terms apply to every request, first payment and booking you make through throttletrails.com.
Throttle Trails is an online platform that connects riders with motorcycle tours run by independent local operators. We help you find a tour, send your request to the operator and handle your first payment. We do not run the tours ourselves.
Throttle Trails is a sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak) of Samuel Meijers, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 92337538, Clercqstraat 98-1, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. VAT number: NL002352934B28. E-mail: info@throttletrails.com. You can also use our contact page.
You must be at least 18 years old to send a request.
Your request. You choose a tour and send a request with your dates, the number of riders and any options. A request is free and does not oblige you to anything. It is not a booking.
The operator's answer. The operator checks availability and the price calculated by Throttle Trails. The operator can accept, suggest another date or price, or decline. We do not promise availability before the operator has accepted.
Your first payment. If the operator accepts, we send you a link to make your first payment. Your request becomes a confirmed booking only when the operator has accepted it and we have received your first payment. Until then nothing is final.
If you do not pay in time. The payment link has a deadline, shown in our mail. If we have not received the first payment by then, the request is closed and nothing is charged. You can always send a new request. A date that is free today can be taken tomorrow, so a closed request does not keep the date for you.
The first payment is a part of the tour price, not an extra cost. Before you pay we show the total tour price, the amount of the first payment and the remaining balance. Amounts are shown in US dollars or in euros, depending on the currency you choose. Your bank or card provider may convert the amount to your own currency and charge fees for that. We do not control those fees.
You pay the first payment to Throttle Trails. We handle payments through our payment provider, Stripe. You pay the remaining balance directly to the operator, on the terms the operator gives you. The operator knows the first payment has been made and deducts it from the amount you still owe.
If a payment is reversed or fails after we have confirmed it, we may cancel the booking and tell the operator.
The contract for the tour is between you and the operator. The operator is responsible for the tour: its content, quality and safety, and following local rules. The operator is named on the tour page and, after your first payment, in your confirmation. Throttle Trails is an intermediary and is not a party to the contract for the tour.
If the operator suggests another date or price, you receive a mail with the full suggestion. You can accept or decline. Nothing changes until you accept. If the price changes, we show the new first payment and remaining balance before you accept. If you decline, the request is closed.
The operator cancels or cannot deliver. We refund your first payment in full.
You cancel. If you cancel within 14 days of your first payment, and the tour has not started, we refund the first payment in full. We refund it to the payment method you used, normally within 14 days of your cancellation. If you cancel after that period, the first payment is not refunded. This 14 day refund is a right we give you in these terms. Your statutory rights as a consumer remain.
The remaining balance. The first payment and the rest of the tour price are separate. For the rest of the tour price the cancellation terms of the operator apply. Ask the operator for them before you pay if you want to be sure. Throttle Trails does not decide on, collect or refund the remaining balance.
Events beyond anyone's control. The terms of the operator apply to the remaining balance. If the operator cannot run the tour, we refund your first payment in full.
Changing dates or details. Contact the operator directly. A change of price always goes through a suggestion from the operator that you accept or decline.
How to cancel. Use our contact page and tell us your name, the tour and the date. We reply as soon as we can.
The information on a tour page comes from the operator. We present it with care, but we cannot check everything. What the operator confirms to you is leading. If a price or description contains an obvious error, we or the operator may correct it before you pay. You can then accept the corrected version or leave the request.
You agree to give accurate and complete information, to be physically fit and licensed for the tour, to follow the operator's safety rules, and to take care of your own safety and belongings. Some tours have requirements for age, riding experience or documents. They are on the tour page or in the operator's information. Check them before you pay.
We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, cancellation and personal liability. Throttle Trails does not provide insurance.
Throttle Trails is responsible for its own obligations under these terms, including handling the first payment and its refund. The operator is responsible for the tour, including accidents, damage, delays and changes. We aim to list reliable operators, but we do not run the tours and we do not guarantee them.
To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything connected to a request or booking is limited to the amount of your first payment. This does not apply to harm caused by wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or where the law does not allow a limit. Nothing in these terms limits your rights as a consumer that cannot be limited.
Some riders arrive through a creator's link or code. The creator receives a share of what Throttle Trails earns on the booking. It does not make your tour more expensive. Some codes give you a discount on your first payment. We show it before you pay. Creators do not see your personal data.
We use your data to handle your request, your first payment and your booking, and to contact you about them. We share it with the operator as described in section 8 and with our payment provider. See our privacy policy for the details and your rights. You can ask for a copy of your data or for removal of your account in Account Settings.
We send you mail about your request, your payment and your tour, and show the same status in My Bookings. We send these mails from an address that does not receive replies. For questions or problems, use our contact page.
You agree not to misuse the site, for example by scraping it, overloading it or trying to get into parts that are not meant for you. Our site may link to other sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for them. The content of the Throttle Trails site (text, images, logos) belongs to Throttle Trails or its licensors and may not be used without permission.
We can change these terms. A change applies to requests you send after the change. A request or booking you already have keeps the terms that applied when you sent it.
Dutch law applies. The mandatory consumer protection of the country where you live remains. Disputes go to the courts of the Netherlands, unless the law gives you the right to go to another court. Please contact us first. We will do our best to solve it with you. If one part of these terms turns out not to be valid, the rest stays in force.
