Athletes in the eSC eSkootr Championship Racing Series can reach speeds up to 60 mph on courses that are no longer than a half-mile long.
If a Razor kick scooter and a lightcycle from “Tron” had a baby, it would be the S1-X prototype eSkootr.
Spectators across the Bay Area will be able to watch this buzzy action up close and personal this fall as Emeryville is poised to host the second season of the eSkootr Championship. The race will mark the North American debut of one of the newest international motorsports. After the sport kicked off its inaugural 2022 season on tracks in England, Switzerland and France, the hope is that the eSC Championship will eventually spark grassroots teams, riders and races to sprout beyond the league.
But beyond the racing heats themselves, one of the biggest challenges for the league is simply connecting with fans. Emeryville Mayor John Bauters rides an electric scooter in front of city hall on Monday, Oct. 31, 2022, in Emeryville, Calif. Bauters hopes to bring eSkootr Championship racing to the city next year.
