What it is?

The 50km E-Bike Group Adventure Challenge Category is a fully marshaled group ride in a single-stage out-and back course that begins at the General Nakar Municipal Hall, enters the main race course and goes all the way to Masanga. This category is not a race, but more of a challenge for the participants to manage their batteries well during the event. Participants will need to group themselves, provided that no group or participant will go ahead of the designated spearhead for this category. The route will not entail deep river crossing, however, there will be narrow tributaries to be crossed ergo expect water splashes. There will be a charging station in a pre-determined location which will be located enroute back to the finish (no charging before the turn-around is allowed).

E-bikes that have derestriction or were de-restricted are allowed to join provided they shall observe the group maximum speed set by the group spearhead and shall not be allowed to overtake the lead. Rated motor power shall be from 250w to 1,000w only. E-bikes beyond 1000w are not allowed. Battery capacity should be at least 400wH. Participants should bring their charger.

Charging Station

Mechanics:

The E-bike Group Adventure Challenge will be released as one group. All participants under this category need to ride the track as a group led by a lead marshal until Km 25.

As soon as you get your wrist band in the turn around, all participants may individually ride on their own from Km 25 all the way to the finish line (Km 50).

Charging station will be stationed in Km 35. Those who wish to re-charge may turn over their chargers ( properly marked ) to the Charging Marshal between 5:30am to 6:00am Aug 24 at the starting line.
