On 3 September 2022, the E-bike World Championships for Everyone were held for the second time in Ischgl and Galtür and made the dreams of 1106 professional and occasional cyclists from 26 nations come true. A total of 42 world champions were crowned in the Elite and Everyman classes. "The fact that we were able to increase our field of participants so quickly after the Ischgl premiere in 2021 shows us that we are fully in line with the trend with this race event," says a pleased Alexander von der Thannen, chairman of the Paznaun - Ischgl Tourism Association. The 2022 e-bike world champions with the fastest times in the elite class were Daniel Klemme from Germany in the men's category and Barbara Oberdorfer from Italy in the women's category on the 37-kilometre, technically demanding course with over 1,180 metres of altitude difference, steep climbs and spectacular single trails. On the panoramic 26-kilometre-long Everyman course with 740 metres of altitude difference, 40 participants managed to go under the set gold limit of 55:30 minutes and thus secure their world championship title.

Special regulations at the world's biggest e-bike race
"While the fastest rider in the elite class will become world champion, the participants in the everyman class will compete against the defined riding time limits gold, silver and bronze. If they fall below one of the three limits, the e-bikers will receive an official Everyman World Championship gold, silver or bronze medal. Whoever falls below the gold limit can then also call himself 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. All info: www.ebikewm.com.
