Surely it's just a case of opening another category?

Doesn't make sense to me and actually appears to be very unfair.

Just turn up and ride the route anyway, what they gonna do.

I certainly would do this if I'd paid

It's the T&C's that you have to agree to, if it isn't in them then they can't enforce it, that's your contract, or at least that would be my stance

As long as I breathe, I attack.
Is the ride supported in case of a mechanical ?
Maybe there could be issues fi an e bike dies roadside and the roving mechanics cant fix it .

That's what I would do too, how are they going to find out anyway, are they going to check all the bikes??

That is possible, some Ebike retailers, I know of Bosh, will invalidate the warranty if a non Bosh trained mechanic has touched the bike.
Surely though, this would be at @jann71's own risk?

how would they know? what ebike you got?

id ride the route anyway, nothing they can do about it, as its a public road and not a closed road event

My friends suggested I cover the battery with my jacket

It's a closed road event.

I have a Bergamont eHorizon 6

The Glue that binds us together.
I've entered a sportive to ride with one of my friends, unfortunately ebikes are not allowed.
Why would you want to do a sportive on a Ebike? Surely the idea of a sportive is to test yourself. I have nothing against Ebikes at all, But cannot get my head round this one.
