We are excited to announce:


Since Ebikes are gaining in popularity we want to include them for Drops to Hops this year. Its a new division and one we havent seen in other area races/rides. We have our "A" race, "B" race and now as of today our "E" race. The E bikes will be allowed to ride in our 23 mile race and have its own division. We are very excited to be one if not the first race in our area to offer this option.

E-bikes with pedal-assist only are usually called pedelecs but can be broadly classified into pedelecs proper and the more powerful S-Pedelecs.

The term "pedelec" (from pedal electric cycle) refers to a pedal-assist e-bike with a relatively low-powered electric motor and a decent but not excessive top speed.
