The E-Bike World Tour (EBWT) comprises three multi-day races in Austria, France and Switzerland. It takes place on remote trails that cannot be reached by lift and single trails that could not be ridden without the added electric power of an e-bike. The races ride along beautiful forest trails, dramatic high mountain landscapes and everything in between. It stands to reason that the EBWT's UCI-accredited races also attract the sport's top professionals.

In the women's field, former downhill world champion Tracy Moseley (GBR) and Switzerland's Nathalie Schneitter will once again be attempting to take over from defending French champion Léa Deslandes. In the men's field, France's reigning E-MTB world champion Jérôme Gilloux will once again be chased by enduro star Kilian Bron (FRA) and former Olympic cross-country champions Marco Fontana (ITA) and Christoph Sauser (SUI). An exciting new development of the EBWT is that it is now open to advanced amateurs who want to measure their fitness, riding technique and battery management against the best in the world.

"The scenery is incredibly spectacular," confirms Christoph Sauser. "This is definitely e-biking in high alpine terrain. Big rocks, river crossings, natural obstacles - there are some amazing trails. And adrenaline rushes on the descents, for sure. I think the E-Bike World Tour is the best way to ride as many trails as possible in one day. It's super unique. There's nothing like it."

The first stop of the E-Bike World Tour is Flachau in Austria, where the riders will be challenged at the E-Tour de Salzburger Land on June 24 and 25, 2022. The route rides over 150 km over two days, including a night section, with 5,000 meters of uphill and 6,000 meters of downhill. Only two batteries per bike are required here.

Next on the program is the E-Tour de Haute Tarentaise in the famous ski resort of Tignes-Val d'Isère on 29 and 30 July. Two days of racing over 160 km with 6,000 meters of ascent and 7,000 meters of descent will decide who wins in the French Alps.

The grand finale of the E-Bike World Tour will then take place again in Verbier from August 10 to 12: The three-day E-Tour du Mont-Blanc is a team event and a 250 km adrenaline rush around the most legendary mountain in Europe.

The EBWT is all about challenging e-bike races. They offer several time trial stages per day, technical zones for battery swaps, carrying sections and the battle for overall victory in the series, as well as plenty of e-bike fun.

On the EBWT weekends, Flachau, Tignes-Val d'Isère and Verbier are transformed into a festival of e-biking. Friends, fans and family can hop on an e-bike and sample the local delicacies on a gourmet tour or sign up for the easy discovery tours and an amateur race.

The extremely popular e-bike exhibition is also not to be missed, with the industry's leading brands offering their latest e-bike models for mountain, gravel and road for public test rides.
