Meet eSC_LIVE – a new electric motorsport series coming to London this year
► 62mph scooters with two 6kW motorsWe’re at the launch of another new electric motorsport, and on paper it’s like every new motorsport series you’ve heard about in the last 18 months. It’s electric, it’s focused on urban mobility, and it’s designed to appeal to a younger audience. However, it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before – mainly because of the e-scooters it’ll be using…Yes. The eSkootr championship or eSC will use all-wheel drive scooters with two 6kW motors, a 1.
Each race will see 30 riders compete, across ten teams with three drivers – and they’ll be conducting a whistle stop tour of all the capital cities you’d expect. The season kicks off with the London round, which’ll take place in the Printworks venue.Yes, but like the scooters riders will be racing on, sSC has been engineered from the ground up to be light, flexible, efficient – and easily able to slot in the existing landscape.
‘One way of making the business model of motorsport one to better is to make the vehicle smaller, cheaper and more accessible.’ explains former Le Mans, F1 driver, Formula E racer and eSC co-founder Lucas Di Grassi. ‘And when you do that it also makes it more sustainable. So, the business idea made a lot of sense.’
‘We use local infrastructure,’ Di Grassi says. ‘To charge a scooter and don't need special charges. You don't need to reinvent infrastructure in the city to make sure that electric mobility develops. So, it's very convenient, very cheap.’
