Records are not new territory for Oehler. The Austrian holds the world record for the highest wall climb and the fastest time over 400-meter hurdles - on a bike. Since he started using e-bikes, new horizons have opened up for him. There is one question he can't stop asking: How many peaks can you climb in one day on an e-MTB? Together with the German Record Institute (RID), Tom defines the rules of the game. What counts as a summit? Prominence, dominance, height - only those who score points here will be considered. The record must be set within 16 hours, at least ten summits are mandatory. He is allowed to swap batteries, but only according to a prior plan. And Tom sets himself his own benchmark: ride up as much as possible, every meter downhill must be rideable - otherwise the appeal is missing.

The choice of location is easy: Davos/Klosters. As a bike ambassador, Tom knows the area like the back of his hand. An extensive trail network, legal clearance for bikers, striking peaks around the Jakobshorn, Pischahorn and Weissfluh - perfect conditions for a project of this magnitude.

Let's go!

At 5:30 am, Tom sets off on his first loop to the Jakobshorn - euphoric, focused, in the flow. Three hours later, he is back at the base with five peaks on the clock. The second loop towards the Pischahorn challenges him: he feels a tugging sensation in his knee, but he perseveres. Even when the terrain becomes too steep to ride, he carries the e-bike - 400 vertical meters on his shoulders. After five hours, he has eleven summits to his name.

After a short break for food and nine hours in the saddle, he struggles towards the Weissfluh summit. Tiredness sets in, his knee hurts and the ascent becomes a mental test. But once at the top, the magic begins: Pure flow up to the Chörbschhorn. Every meter is a pleasure, every trail a gift.

Just before 6 pm, Tom reaches the 15th and final summit. His wife and friends welcome him to the Chörbschhorn - the emotional highlight of an extreme day. After the final descent, he rolls into Seehofseeli - exhausted, happy and with a new world record in his luggage.

Tom's conclusion on the record: "It was a really cool day on the mountain and really exhausting. After 14 hours in the terrain, I'm not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, because you really can't fuck up here! But when I look at the mountains around me that I was on today, I'm super happy and amazed at what's possible on a bike. Despite the extreme distances, the e-bike still gives me enough energy to enjoy every meter of trail."
