Hmmm, looks interesting! Do you have any more details about the riding area? Also, how will eMTB's fare in an 8 hour event? What restrictions on replacement batteries etc etc will be in place?

2 hours racing each other on boost and 6 in the bar surely?

Hey.
The riding area will be in the Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park. Most of the trail will be flat, with the chance of a slight uphill section. They are aiming the race at everyone and families, so the trails won't be technical.

There are no rules regarding the use of multiple batteries, however you still have to ride the bike for 8hrs.

I'm pretty sure my Steps8000 battery would last about 5-6hrs riding on Eco.

I guess there are different strategies you could play out. Boost for as many laps, for a fast number of laps. Eco, for slow and steady laps and maybe last the 8hrs.

Do you think the organisers should put a "Single Use" battery rule? I guess this would keep it fare. It's the first race of it's kind around here, so we're open to any suggestions.

I'm keen to do it Solo, purely to see how long the battery lasts, and I also have a spare battery to get me to the end. However, I'm not sure my body would last 8hrs on the bike!!

Not really a specific event but I received this when asking trailbreak.co.uk about any event open to e-mtb

Hi Olivier. Yes, all of our events are open to eMTBs. They’re very welcome!
