Husqvarna Bicycles main partner to GGN E-Bike

PRESS RELEASE – 20210910

HUSQVARNA BICYCLES ENTERS AS THE MAIN PARTNER IN THE E-BIKE COMPETITION ON GOTLAND.
Earlier this year, we launched the big news for Gotland Grand National 2021, that we have another competition, E-Bike! Now we have another news to share, Husqvarna Bicycles Scandinavia is entering as the main partner of the E-Bike competition.

Anders Sarbäcken, CEO of Husqvarna Bicycles Scandinavia, comments on the collaboration.
– It is the premiere of E-Bike at GGN, a historic moment! Racing is part of the core of our organization, to be the main partner for the first E-Bike competition at GGN is an honorary assignment for us. E-Bike is incredibly big in Europe and we believe that GGN is the starting shot for something completely new for us as well. E-Bike is a perfect training tool and complement to your motorcycle riding, and above all it is very fun!

Juha Salminen, who previously participated in GGN and is a 13-time world champion in enduro, will participate in the E-Bike elite class for men. Juha is really looking forward to the competition.
– During my motorcycle career, I rode a lot, but not on an electric bike. E-Bike has completely opened its eyes to me again, you do not have to plan your route as on a regular bike. You can take your E-Bike on roads you cannot access with a motorcycle, and on roads you cannot handle with a normal bicycle. ” Read more about Salminen’s E-Bike interest: https://www.husqvarna-bicycles.com/en-se/explore/stories/juha-salminen-emtb.html

– We welcome Husqvarna Bicycles to Gotland and GGN as the main partner in our new major investment in developing the already large GGN weekend, says Conny Bohlin from Nordic Sport & Event. With 3,000 starters, 10,000 hit travelers and in addition the audience back at Tofta shooting range, we are convinced that the MTB E-Bike participants have a great time ahead of them as their own competition in connection with the world’s largest enduro competition, Conny Bohlin continues.
