Special regulations at the world’s biggest E-Bike race
“While in the elite class the fastest e-biker becomes world champion, the participants in the Everyone class compete against the defined riding time limits of gold, silver and bronze. If they fall within one of the three limits, the e-bikers will receive an official Everyman World Championship gold, silver or bronze medal. Whoever falls within the gold limit can then also call themselves a world champion,” Dr. Markus Mitterdorfer of the E-Bike World Federation explains the rules. In addition to the overall ranking, there are also category prizes according to age group and gender.
