Ride an E-Bike at the FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage

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 FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage is E-Bike friendly!

The FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage will once again host 2 dedicated E-Bike events. E-Mountain Bike riders will have a choice between the E-Mountain Bike Race (starting 30 minutes before the A bunch) or the E-Mountain Bike tour (starting 1 hour behind the last start group).

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 riders and stage race newbies who would like to enjoy the incredible FNB Wines2Whales route in a friendly, controlled, and guided manner.

The 2025 FNB Wines2Whales E-Bike race will see the introduction of podiums and a leader’s jersey for the following categories, with no battery changes permitted.

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

Teams who opt for the battery change will be allowed in the E-Mountain Bike Race category but will not be eligible to compete for the E-Bike Leader’s Jerseys. The E-Bike Battery Swap Service (1 battery swap per stage) can be purchased with your entry under Option Extras at the cost of R250 per rider.
