No — test rides at Kent Powersports Austin are free and non-binding. We may ask for a refundable deposit or hold your driver’s license while riding for security.
 Typically 10–20 minutes, covering city streets and nearby segments to assess performance, brakes, and comfort.
 No problem — in the same appointment we can often accommodate 1–2 bikes, time permitting.
 It depends on the model. We’ll let you know if the bike supports two-up demo. Usually, solo rides are safer for test conditions.
If conditions aren’t safe, we’ll reschedule your ride. Safety is top priority. We monitor forecasts and may proactively reach out.
We’ll sit down to discuss your impressions, go over financing/trade-in, and you can schedule a follow-up test or move toward purchase. Many riders accept offers on the same day.
