There is a UCI sanctioned electric mountain bike enduro race.
- anthomtb 2y agoTo the GP, an electric mountain bike (eMTB) enduro race is probably not what you are envisioning. Mountain bike (MTB) enduro is stage racing. Specifically, timed downhill-only sections separated by untimed transfers between stages. The name comes from motorcycle enduro racing. Riders do not go head-to-head like in road cycling, cyclocross or motocross. eMTB enduro is exactly the same format but using electric-motor assisted bikes and, IIRC, one timed uphill stage thrown in. MTB/eMTB enduro is great fun as a participant sport but either not-there-yet or not-suitable as a spectator sport.
