Women Motors Bootcamp – Perfect for both Beginners and Experienced Riders

In 2021 there should be more spaces where women can enjoy their appreciation of motorcycles, aircraft, and all things mechanical with no judgement or limitations.

Women Motors Bootcamp (WMBootcamp) is that safe space where women gather over Women’s day weekend in beautiful Montagnana (Padua), Italy, to share their love of motorcycles and much more…

This review will run through the main reasons we think it’s an excellent option for both motoring enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

What is the Women Motors Bootcamp?

• Three days of women sharing their passion for all things mechanical with other women in sunny Montagnana (Padua), Italy
• Events include talk shows, test rides, and many other activities, including taking control of an airplane while flying over Montagnana.
• A blend of motor, motorcycle, mechanics, and aircraft content
• A safe space for women to learn more about themselves, motorcycles and aerials, to grow their interests and meet new friends with fun and engaging activities.

Why do we Love it?

This event is warm and welcoming for people of all experience levels and demographics, mainly because of how open and welcoming the entire staff are. 

The wide range of activities ensures that there is something for everyone, and as a women-only event there is a sense of safety and freedom that can not be found in events open to everyone. It provides a wonderful opportunity for both personal growth and making new friends with others who share your passion.

Not many events empower participants to race a motorcycle, fly a plane, cruise in a hot air balloon, acquire fighting skills, gun skills, get a tattoo, to commemorate it all, unwind with yoga and possibly end your adventures with a martini – Shaken, not stirred.

The fact that the available talks, activities, and test rides cater to all skill levels means that it’s definitely worth checking it out if you’re unsure. It’s for more people than you might expect! 

A number of tickets are reserved for participants who travel from abroad, they can write to info@wmbootcamp.com to get a direct link to register.

Why Was This Event Started?

Started as an expansion of a personal offer to teach friends and family all they need to know to ride, when a surprising number of women arrived. There is clearly a need for this type of event, a safe space for women to learn, grow, and spend time together. With no current event or group that provides this, there are hopes to expand internationally as the group continues to grow. 

“I promised to my girlfriends to let them try my motorcycles. More than 50 girls showed up when I organized a weekend, and I realized that this was something incredible, with potential,” founder Domitilla Quadrelli told VivaMoto. “There is nothing like WMB worldwide, so I decided to create one for my girlfriends and for other women who need inspiration, who are seeking something in their lives, through motorcycling and other adventures.”

Domitilla plans to keep each event to 1,000 women to ensure that a quality experience can be provided and everyone can gather the information that they need. 

“We plan not to grow in size but keep a max of 1000 women for future years to come. This decision was made to focus on quality and experience rather than numbers,” said Domitilla.

However, Domitilla stated she would like to “export the format in the near future,” including doing more for the girls through the year by increasing the number of events. 

According to the events press release, tickets for the WMBootcamp includes admission to all three days of the event and the opportunity to participate in 15 of the scheduled activities and courses.
