The FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage is the event that sees the highest number of FNB Wines2Whales first-timers, has the most #SeriousGEES, and is the ONLY event which allows e-bikes.

The 2023 FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage is E-Bike friendly!

In 2023 we’ll once again host two E-Bike events and riders can choose between the E-Bike Open category, which starts 60 minutes ahead of A batch, or the E-Bike Tour which starts 60 minutes after the last start batch.

The E-Bike Open is for any team with one, or both, teammates on an e-bike, however these teams must be able to maintain an average speed of at least 18kph.

The E-Bike Tour is for any team where one, or both, teammates are on e-bikes. The Tour is aimed at novices and stage race newbies who would like to enjoy the incredible FNB Wines2Whales Switchback route in a friendly, controlled, and guided manner.

E-Bike Open and E-Bike Tour teams will be allowed 1 battery swap per stage.  The E-Bike Battery Swap Service can be purchased with your entry under Option Extras at the cost of R250 per rider. 

The 2023 FNB W2W E-Bike Open will feature podiums and the introduction of leader jerseys for the fastest teams in the following categories:

• E-Bike Open Men (19+)
• E-Bike Open Women (19+)
• E-Bike Open Mixed (19+)
