EBIKE RULES
To ensure a fair and fun event, we've got specific rules for ebikes and their riders in place. Be sure to know these rules before event day.
See below for the ebike rules extracted from our full event rules:
WATT VS WATT-HOUR
What is the difference? Watt-hours measure energy for a specific period of time, and watts measure power at a moment in time. A common analogy for watts and watt-hours is speed and distance. Almost all ebikes sold in New Zealand fall within our 300 watt limit.
