The world's only E-Bike Riding Center is being created as part of the partnership between the E-Bike World Federation (EBWF) and the Paznaun Ischgl bike region. The basic concept with the obstacles and the modular pump track were developed together with ALLEGRA, and implementation will take place gradually in three phases.
Using the latest technology, a modular pump track curve and VELOPARK modules are designed to specifically improve e-bike riding skills and thereby promote e-bike safety. More and more bikers, even older ones, are enthusiastic about e-bikes - a test center like this in a regulated environment in the valley area can help everyone to put what they have learned into practice directly on the mountain and on the trails.
The pump track curve is ideal for practicing on the e-bike

It doesn't always have to be a closed pump track layout. Individual parts, such as curves or waves, can also be used to turn it into a test center or action park.
The first teaching modules have been ready for use on the course of the first phase in Ischgl since June 2024. Support and rental e-bikes are available from local partners Bründl Sports and Simplon.
The course presents various situations: steep mountain terrain, technical passages, cow grids, loose gravel, etc. Different surfaces help, a section with a Modular Pumptrack-Curve and also some VELOPARK Modulethat are integrated into the course. Measuring instruments record the journey and then provide a detailed analysis and feedback: Where were the strengths, where are improvements and more efficient driving possible?
The E-Bike Riding Center Ischgl will be gradually developed over the next few years and gradually made accessible to e-bikers. In Phase II, the E-Bike Riding Center Small will be ready as a connected course with even more elements and digital measurement as early as 2025. Phase 3 will follow the following year with an even larger course.
