· Sturgis Rally Announces Major Changes for 2025: E-Bikes, Fees, and New Attractions
Sturgis, SD – August 17, 2024 – The iconic Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, one of the largest motorcycle gatherings in the world, is set to undergo significant changes in 2025. Organizers have announced that next year’s event will be exclusively for e-bikes, with a $150 admission fee per bike. This marks a major shift for the rally, which has long been associated with traditional motorcycles.
The entire event will be enclosed by fencing and monitored by the Ohmsmen Motorcycle Club, who will take on the responsibility of enforcing the new regulations. Rallygoers are encouraged to register early, as this year’s event is expected to break attendance records.
One of the most anticipated events, the hill climb, will continue as a staple of the rally. However, it will be relocated to the low-grade incline near the local hospital. This new location promises a challenging yet safer course for participants.
In a move that blends tradition with modernity, attendees will be required to purchase the popular "SHOW ME YOUR TATAS" stickers, a tradition at the rally. However, this year, Fast Eddie’s We Paint Signs has been named the sole licensed vendor authorized to produce and sell these stickers.
For those riding electric bikes, the Beer Garden block will serve as the only charging station available between Moorcroft and Mitchell, a stretch of nearly 400 miles. This exclusive service will ensure that riders have access to a fully charged bike throughout the event.
Adding to the unique experience, the local high school’s 4-H club will be managing valet parking services, offering a touch of local community involvement in this large-scale event.
These changes reflect the evolving nature of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, as it adapts to new trends and technologies while maintaining its iconic status. As the rally looks to the future, attendees can expect a blend of familiar traditions and new experiences.
