A New Sport, for a Next Generation, supporting a Now Movement.
Our ambition is to accelerate micro mobility performance and safety through a world-class racing Championship. To create an accessible and inclusive sport that inspires, excites, connects and entertains a new urban fan, whilst supporting a global movement towards more sustainable cities.
The Championship is made up of 10 teams of 2 riders racing specially developed electric scooters around bespoke inner-city circuits at speeds of over 110 km/h. The Championship is open to all genders, attracting international athletes from diverse sporting backgrounds.
After a trial season of 4 international events in 2022, the Championship is re-launching for its second season in 2024, planning 2/3 races in USA, 2/3 in Europe and 1/2 in the Middle East. Beyond 2024 we will continue to grow the championship sustainably to a likely maximum of 20+ events.
