EMTB WORKSHOPS

eMTB Workshop for beginners

This workshop teaches the basics of riding technique for ambitious beginners.

  • How do I set up my cockpit correctly?
  • What is the right mode and when?
  • How do I choose the right gear in which situation?
  • You often ride slowly on technical uphills. How do I balance correctly?
  • How do I brake correctly? Braking uphill also needs to be learnt!
  • The eMTB makes you curious about steep climbs. How do I get the new power to the ground? How do I start again correctly on steep terrain? What is the correct saddle position?
  • How do I use a push aid?

It is precisely these questions that will be examined in more detail in this workshop. Of course, Stefan will also answer your individual questions. A short tour with the skills learnt rounds off the workshop.

Mountain bikers who are interested in S2 levels of difficulty are in the right place at this workshop.

  • How does perfect pedal management work?
  • How do I drive over an obstacle correctly?
  • How do bends and hairpin bends work uphill? What is a backswitch and a frontswitch?
  • How does a boost drop work?

These questions will be scrutinised in the advanced workshop. And here too, Stefan will of course be happy to answer any specific questions you may have. At the end of the course, there will be a group tour of the Leogang trails.

For many years, coach Stefan Schlie was one of the most successful bike trialists at both national and international level, multiple German champion, runner-up in the world championship and team world champion.

Since 2013, his great passion has been eMountain biking. "Uphill Flow" is the synonym for this new sporting discipline. The term was created and honed by him together with the CEO of Bosch Claus Fleischer. Since then, he has also been a riding technique expert in EMTB Magazine. Under the name Uphill Flow, a riding technique book has also been written together with Markus Greber. It summarises the most basic special new uphill tips and tricks for the eMTB. Stefan also shares this knowledge at the Bike Festival in Leogang.
