Moto Cheapie Round 2

Stellenbosch, Western Cape - 15 July 2023
Having built upon our commitment to innovation and daring endeavors, we’re thrilled to announce that we once again undertook the challenge. Our dynamic stabilization team, renowned for their creative thinking, made the decision to exchange grout pumps for a motorbike, all while upholding the principle of “Keep it Cheap!” Inspired by the success of the previous year, the By Design team eagerly embraced the call from Moto Cheapie’s co-founder, Andrew Liebenberg, launching themselves into the rigorous 4-hour endurance race once more. Unfortunately Team Stoffel was not able to finish the race due to mechanical issues, but managed to stay in the race for just over 3,5 hours. Well done guys!
