HASHTAG 125 was the EICMA RIDING FEST area dedicated to young riders and 125cc geared motorcycles.
Access was free and reserved for participants aged 16 and up. Minors were only allowed with at least one parent present.

Tests took place within a closed-off section of the Misano paddock, transformed into a mini-circuit. Accompanied by a lead rider, participants tested the latest 125cc models from various brands.

Each test ride lasted 10 minutes and was open to holders of a valid A1 (or higher) license or learners permit. Riders could test up to two different bikes from different brands, depending on availability. An exclusive opportunity was also offered to beginners aged 16+ without a license, with a guided program run by certified instructors including a theoretical and practical session.
Both experiences—with or without a license—were free and bookable on site at the brand desks, subject to vehicle availability.
Mandatory equipment included helmet, gloves, closed shoes, and protective riding gear. If needed, all gear was provided free of charge by the area’s technical partner.

Dangerous behavior during tests was strictly prohibited and would lead to immediate exclusion at the organizers' discretion.
Sessions ran every 10 minutes for standard tests and every 30 minutes for beginner programs.
Participating brands included: Mondial, Voge, Benelli, Fantic, SWM, Yamaha, TM, KTM, Husqvarna, Zontes, and Beta.
