TQ E-Bike Experience at die HOCHKÖNIGIN: Test Premium E-Road and E-Gravel Bikes Free of Charge
TQ – Where Innovation Meets Natural Riding
TQ is a Bavarian technology company with decades of experience developing high-tech solutions for a wide range of industries. Today, this expertise is also found in the compact drive systems powering premium e-bikes from some of the world's leading bicycle manufacturers.
Unlike many conventional e-bike concepts, TQ doesn't focus on maximum power or technical records.
Instead, the goal is simple.
To create the most natural riding experience possible.
The motor assistance is quiet, smooth and perfectly balanced, allowing riders to focus on what really matters: the landscape, the ride and the freedom of being outdoors.
That natural riding feel is exactly why TQ has become one of the most exciting names in premium e-road and e-gravel bikes.
More Than a Display – A Real Riding Experience
The TQ E-Bike Experience is much more than a product presentation.
Our guests are invited to experience the bikes exactly as they are meant to be ridden.
Throughout the event, premium e-road bikes and e-gravel bikes are available free of charge for half-day or full-day rides. This gives you plenty of time to compare different models and experience the unique riding characteristics on the varied routes around Maria Alm.
Visitors can also explore the TQ Experience Truck, where TQ specialists explain the technology behind the drive systems, answer questions and provide fascinating insights into modern e-bike engineering.
XENOFIT giveaways complete the experience.
Four Brands. Four Different Characters.
A selection of premium bikes from renowned manufacturers will be available throughout the event.
Among them are models from Scott, Ridley, Trek and Rotwild, all equipped with innovative TQ drive systems.
Each bike offers its own distinctive character—some are built for dynamic performance, others for versatility and comfort. Testing different models on real rides makes it easy to discover which bike best matches your personal riding style.
Maria Alm – The Perfect Destination for Road Cycling and Gravel Adventures
Even the best bike can only show its true potential in the right surroundings.
That's exactly why the TQ E-Bike Experience couldn't have chosen a better location.
Right outside die HOCHKÖNIGIN, a network of scenic cycling routes begins. Quiet country roads, panoramic climbs, spectacular mountain views and endless riding opportunities make Maria Alm and the Hochkönig region one of Austria's most attractive destinations for road cyclists and gravel riders.

Your ride starts directly at the hotel.
No transport.
No planning.
Simply get on your bike and enjoy the journey.
Ride. Relax. Enjoy.
Perhaps that's exactly why the TQ E-Bike Experience fits die HOCHKÖNIGIN so perfectly.
After an unforgettable ride, relaxation begins.
Take a dip in the infinity pool.
Unwind in the QUEEN SPA.
Enjoy a glass of wine on the sun terrace.
Or end the day with an exceptional dinner while reflecting on the experiences you've collected throughout the day.
At die HOCHKÖNIGIN, active holidays and relaxation don't compete with each other.
They simply belong together.
