Avinox Creates Restricted M2S Motor Variant to Gain UCI Race Approval
@gabrielbps: It's a different type of racing and work-out then a bike. I have done BMX, aMTB, eMTB, Moto Enduro, Moto Roadracing. They all are 2-wheel forms of racing, but different types of skills and workout related to each form of racing. Sure in a bike race you use mainly leg power vs eMTB racing you will use a more balance use of leg & upper body workout. In the end if you are racing any 2-wheel device to your max, you will be getting a workout.

Yep! the UCI has no business managing eMTB racing. The reality is eMTB racing is a motor sport and should managed by a motor sport org.

IRC Tires Tanken Review: A Longtime Rider’s Take on These Enduro Trail Tires
Great info on the IRC Tanken tire. I been using them on my eMTBs for a few years now, 27.5x2.3 is a solid rear tire. I don't see a lot of riders using the Tanken and yet IRC has been sold-out on the 27.5 tires (all widths) for almost a year now:/ hope they restock soon.

2025 E-Enduro World Championships Results
You can bag on eBike racing, but racing any type of device is just fun and requires skills that most people don't have. Doesn't matter if you are racing a bike, kart, car, moto or ebike in order to do well you have to push yourself mentally and physically.
