World Championship titles are up for grabs at the world's biggest e-bike race from 5th to 7th September 2024 in Ischgl. The 6th E-Bike World Championships for EVERYONE, open to all riders from the age of ten, is split into the categories "EVERYONE" and "ELITE" – with the popular e-bike fox hunt included. E-bikes can be hired on site. Registration is now open.

World Championship titles are up for grabs in Ischgl! When the E-Bike World Championships for EVERYONE are held in Ischgl for the 4th time from 5th to 7th September 2024, World Championship titles will be within reach for professional athletes and occasional cyclists from the age of ten. The rules of the world's biggest e-bike race, as confirmed by the Guinness World Records in 2023, are simple: "While the fastest biker is crowned World Champion in the 'ELITE' category, participants compete against three riding time limits (gold, silver and bronze) in the 'EVERYONE' category. If they fall below one of the three defined limits, the e-bikers receive an official World Championship gold, silver or bronze medal," explains Dr. Markus Mitterdorfer (E-Bike World Federation). Anyone who falls below the set gold limit can call themselves a World Champion. In addition to the medal achieved in the "EVERYONE" category or the placement in the overall ranking of the "ELITE" category, the best in every age group for each gender and category will be awarded. Highlight: the e-bike fox hunt on the Idalp.

E-bikes regulations: All commercially available e-mountain bikes (pedelecs) with a maximum pedal assistance of 25 km/h and a maximum rated continuous power of 250 watts are permitted. A maximum torque of the e-bike motor of 90 Nm is permitted in the "ELITE" category. The bike check before the start on race day is mandatory. Those who don't have their own e-bike can hire one on site for a fee. It is also possible to book the rental bike for two days. Registration is now open online at www.ebikewm.com.

E-Bike World Championships programme

Thursday 5th September 2024

The popular fox hunt challenge sees e-bikers trying to catch up with two "foxes" with a head start yet no electricity on the uphill course towards Idalp on Thursday evening. In two starting blocks, the aim is to catch up with one female and one male fox. Reward for successful hunters: 100 euros. The 2024 foxes have yet to be revealed. 

Friday 6th September 2024

An open qualifying session for "ELITE" category participants will take place the day before the World Championship race, which will determine the starting order based on the fastest times. Participation in the qualifying session is not a must, but those who do not take part will automatically be placed in the latter blocks.

Saturday 7th September 2024

The battles for the World Champion titles of the E-Bike World Championships for EVERYONE will take place on Saturday on two separate routes lined with obstacles:

The 28.1 km long "EVERYONE" route climbs 530 vertical metres along wide paths with fantastic panoramic views and impressive mountain scenery. Good to know: skill on the e-bike is required for the obstacles along the way.

"ELITE" category participants will need to give their all on a newly upgraded 42.1 km long technically demanding route over 1,540 metres in altitude with steep climbs, spectacular single trails and obstacles.

There is a team classification in both categories for those looking for even more chances to win. Teams must consist of at least four people (no upper limit). The average time of the fastest three team members is evaluated and the fastest team is awarded a prize.

Colourful supporting programme

Ischgl visitors, spectators and riders can look forward to a colourful programme alongside the E-Bike World Championships for EVERYONE, including a large E-bike EXPO, live music and trick riders. All information on the programme, routes, prices and registration: www.ebikewm.com
