McIntosh Minimoto was formed in 1993 to organise and run Hire & Drive days using Polini Minimoto. Anyone who wanted could hire a minibike and race around a circuit on it. This was great fun and soon became a great event for both private and corporate entertainment. Originally run at Kartstart in Kirkcaldy, this has blossomed to include events at Kartstart Aberdeen, Knockhill Race Circuit, Ingliston and Raceland.

In 1994 we set up the Scottish Minimoto Association and ran the Scottish Minimoto Championship with a single class category. This Championship grew so popular that we had to introduce different classes to keep the competition fair and exciting. Currently the Scottish Championship runs to eight rounds with Junior A, B C, Production, Lightweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight and the Open classes and we recently introduced a Hire class to introduce new riders into the sport of Minimoto.

In 1995 McIntosh Minimoto started competing in the MMRA Bristish Minimoto Championship and by 2003 we had won 26 British Class Championships.

Such is the calibre of competition in the Scottish Championship it has produced many Champions who have gone on to win in other National Championships. In 2004the Scottish Championship produced our and the UK's first female motorcycle champion, Sammi Tasker.

Many of these young riders go on to compete in 125cc Championships and to help some of them learn the ropes we co-founded, the Scottish Junior Academy in 2004. The Academy runs special events tutored by some of Britains most successful motorcycle racers, including Steve Allan and Niall MacKenzie. One of the most successful students so far has been Kev Coghlan who won first time out in the 2005 British 125GP Championship .

Last but not least, we are the Official UK suppliers for Polini Motori s.p.a., supplying 90% of the UK's Polini racers with Minimoto and Minicross machines and parts. We are dedicated to providing you with the best service and technical back-up possible and work closely with Polini to make sure that we succeed.
