As part of the premiere of the 24 Hours of Stuttgart, the first 24-hour mountain bike race for eBikes will also take place on September 5 and 6 at the trade fair in the Swabian metropolis. A maximum of 300 electrified mountain bikers are allowed to take part in the worldwide premiere. There are 20 starting places for solo riders, 20 for teams of two and 60 for the most popular category of teams of four. The registration portal is now open.

Own starting block, own route sections
The e-bike group will have its own starting block at the 24-hour race in Stuttgart and will ride a self-sufficient competition. In addition, although the same 7.5-kilometer course will be ridden as the bike enthusiasts without electric drive, additional eBike-specific sections will be built in, which must be ridden by the pedelecs and are controlled by the timing system. The advantages of an e-bike should be fully exploited on these sections.

Changing the battery?
Solo riders can change a battery or the e-bike, but it must be marked beforehand. A total of 20 PowerPack 400s will be provided for solo riders with Bosch e-bike drive systems - the manufacturer is the title sponsor of the event. However, these must be reserved when registering. Teams of two and four may change a maximum of two batteries or eBikes (marked) per team.

Up to a maximum of 25 km/h
Only eBikes that support up to a maximum of 25 km/h are permitted, and the batteries may have a maximum energy content of 400 Wh. Before the race, after and during the 24 hours, the relevant data will be checked by Bosch technicians. In principle, however, all e-bike systems are eligible and welcome.
