Do you feel like you’re racing when you’re riding your off-road scooter? You might think that competition only exists in car racing, but nowadays, the electric scooter craze is not abating and has even entered the racing arena. The Electric Scooter Championship (eSC) is the world’s first electric scooter competition. It has been held in major metropolitan areas around the world since 2022.
The S1-X eSkootr, which was developed specifically for the series and will be used by all drivers, is capable of reaching speeds of over 100 km/h on inclines of more than 50 degrees. It includes two 6000W motors and a 1.33 KWH battery, is equipped with 11-inch racing tires and hydraulic disc brakes, and weighs 88 pounds (40 kg).

If you enjoy the excitement of high speed and the thrill of off-road in daily life, then I am glad that the information collected in these competitions is also used to develop electric scooters on the market to improve safety and stability. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of “racing electric scooters”.
Racing Scooter Basic Information
|
Top speed
|
The average rider only needs an average top speed of 25 MPH (40 km/h),
For thrill seekers, racers and sport riders, a model with a top speed of 70 MPH (113 km/h) is more appropriate
|
|
Motor power
|
High-performance electric scooters are exclusively equipped with dual motors and use higher-powered motors to operate efficiently.
|
|
Motor type
|
The efficiency of the controller determines the overall performance. For a stronger, more sudden power delivery, choose a scooter with a square wave controller and a sine wave controller for a smoother, more controlled riding experience.
|
|
Climbing angle
|
The high-performance motor brings powerful power and torque, and can climb up to 30° (58%)
|
|
Braking system
|
Given the speeds of these scooters, the rider must be able to stop suddenly and controllably as needed, so most of these racing scooters use mechanical and EABS, and also have powerful regenerative braking to further ensure shorter stopping distances.
|
|
Battery and range
|
High-performance electric scooters require more power than regular commuter electric scooters. With voltages up to 62 V, the main advantage of these large-capacity batteries is range, which can typically reach 86 miles (138 km) on a single charge.
|
|
Tire
|
To improve riding comfort, high-performance scooters mostly use pneumatic tires. Most tires are pre-glued, self-sealing or tubeless to reduce the possibility of blowouts. Pneumatic tires also have better grip on wet and slippery conditions on the road. The tires also have a larger profile to increase contact with the ground, thereby improving traction.
Vacuum tires are also the first choice for high-performance scooters, which are not easy to puncture, avoiding accidents caused by tire punctures during high-speed movement.

|
Security features
|
– Lights: Excellent lighting enhances visibility to other road users in dim conditions and at night, improving safety.
– Horn: Motorcycle-grade horn that audibly alerts other road users of your presence.
– Speed Mode: Adjustable speed mode ensures you can choose a setting that is comfortable for you.

Riding Tips
Facing high-speed electric scooters, you must master the correct riding posture to face possible problems.
Lean forward slightly
Leaning forward slightly will change your center of gravity, put more pressure on your front wheel, and give it more traction and grip, allowing you to keep moving forward without sliding backwards.
Bend your knees
Keeping your knees bent helps absorb bumps and vibrations on uneven roads, making your ride smoother. In addition, it can improve your ability to flexibly maneuver the scooter.
Stand firm
Please place your feet shoulder-width apart and firmly on the pedals. This distributes your weight evenly on your feet for better stability when climbing, allowing you to stay upright and in control no matter how steep the slope is.
Relax
Keep your back straight, shoulders down, and arms relaxed but ready at all times. This maintains control and minimizes stress on your upper body, allowing you to easily adapt to any situation you encounter on the road.
Pay close attention to the road conditions
As with driving a car, you should pay close attention to the situation ahead and anticipate any problems. Spotting obstacles and changes on the road in advance allows you to adjust your posture and strategy at any time to ensure safe riding.

FAQ
What safety equipment is necessary when riding?
Essential safety equipment includes a helmet (to protect your head in the event of a fall or collision), knee and elbow pads (for extra protection), and sturdy, fully covered shoes (to ensure a firm grip on the deck of the scooter).
Can I participate in the Electric Scooter Championship (eSC)?
In theory, yes. Unlike most motor and motorcycle events that require a license of the corresponding level, this unprecedented competition currently has no clear eligibility restrictions, and in theory anyone can participate.
The current participants include racers with more than 10 years of experience, players who are good at extreme sports, players with amazing athletic talent, etc. If you have some experience riding a motorcycle, or have played projects such as BMX and skateboarding, you will have some advantages.
Conclusion
Hope that through the recommendations in this blog, you can better understand the selection and use of racing electric scooters. Wish you excellent results in professional competitions, or enjoy the joy of racing scooters in daily driving!
