YouTube biker Elias Schwärzler is a multi-talent. In addition to his world records on the bike, YouTube hits and his own clothing brand, Elias established a completely new format for the first time this season: the Senders Academy. A look at the Austrian's life.

The beginnings

Elias Schwärzler (born on 13 September 1995) grew up with three older brothers. Little Elias was initially interested in football. His role model: Lionel Messi. Not only because of his skills on the pitch, but also because of his will to assert himself. Elias started cycling at the age of eleven and later came third in the Austrian national championships.

Record hunter

Elias Schwärzler is fascinated by records. In 2021, he is attempting to break the 300 km/h barrier on his bike - for which he is being towed by a motorbike. In the end, it was only enough for 272 km/h - but still official world record.

Elias Schwärzler: also from all clouds

Elias devotes all his attention to his visions and biking. There's not much time. But when there is air, the all-rounder jumps out of aeroplanes. He recently obtained his skydiving licence.

New format: Senders Academy

The Senders Academy is a kind of complete programme for up-and-coming riders. The package includes not only riding technique camps, but also workshops on how to attract sponsors, how to operate successfully on social media and how to make the leap to becoming a professional biker.

Dream woman found

Elijah's five-year-old YouTube clip My Dreamgirl has been clicked 35 million times so far. The second part features his current girlfriend. The two are said to have met in a similar way, as can be seen in the video.

Elias, the entrepreneur

Elias Schwärzler studied business administration in Innsbruck. Together with Mate Fabio Wibmer he quickly switched his focus to biking - which his parents didn't like at all. But Elias and Fabio made the Sick Series, which was successful on the web, and founded the clothing brand of the same name. They quickly became successful influencers and landed major sponsorship deals. In 2019, the two went their separate ways. Elias recently founded his own fashion label, Clano.

Shared flat

While Elias lived in a shared flat with Fabio Wibmer in Innsbruck for a long time, he now lives with his girlfriend in a house in Vorarlberg. The fact that his filmmaker and friend Rick lives in the same house doesn't bother him. "Rick is part of the family," says Elias.
