Electric Scooter’s future is racing sports.

Sports and competitions. It seems like human nature, once you get some cool things or ways to travel you just got to get pumped and race a bit. So it’s only natural that now that electric scooters have become commonplace in traffic it’s time for sports.

That’s exactly what the self-proclaimed first Championship league eSkootr Championship eSC esc.live started on mid-2020 is doing. According to electrek the riders will all use the same kind of escooter with the top speed of 100 km/h (60 mph) and they are currently looking for athletes from other sports like cycling to join the league. Of course, their aim is to set up a whole ecosystem as in starting from junior leagues to recruit future drivers for the pro league.

This is truly an exciting time for the electric scooter industry. Formula’s and MotoGP are hugely popular and we see no reason why escooter racing wouldn’t become popular as well. Especially since riding on an escooter seems even more wild and thrilling than the aforementioned leagues even with a “slower” speed of 100 km/h.

Who knows where the sport will develop in the future. At the start, the eSkootr league seems to use the same scooter for everyone but as it gets more popular it will likely get more similar with F1 and other motor sports in a way that the league sets general limits and teams will build their own escooters. Maybe there will be even Team Langfeite one day.

In actuality when you look at the specs of the escooters used the same top speeds can be reached with the top-of-the-line consumer escooters already. So basically nothing stops self-made leagues from popping up and renting out racetracks used for carting and other sports.
