It should come as little surprise then that we are now little more than a year away from what will be the first international electric race scooter series – the eSkootr Championship (eSC).

The race series will be held in a number or major cities undoubtedly shining an even bigger spotlight on the evolving technology and the specially designed scooters that will compete. The electric scooters competing in the event will be designed for the demands of high-speed racing in an urban environment.

Co-founded by a group led by motorsport entrepreneur CEO Hrag Sarkissian and COO Khalil Beschir, a Formula 1 broadcaster and former A1 GP racing driver, the eSC will take place across the globe in 2021.

“The eSC will define how micro-mobility and motor racing could and should work together – not only by making the partnership wholly environmentally sustainable, but by also using it to dynamically fast-track concepts and ideas that can reframe mobility for every level of society,” said Sarkissian.

“We go racing with purpose because we can explore the concepts of innovation and sustainability, and because we can drive this exciting new conversation forwards.”

More than just another sport, the eSC aims to highlight the the cost, convenience and sustainability benefits of micro-mobility within the rapidly changing electric mobility landscape.

As we have seen in other industries, as teams continue to tweak their designs in hope of obtaining a competitive edge, their breakthroughs will undoubtedly filter down to become new or improved products for the average consumer.
