eSkootr Championship (eSC) is an electric scooter racing series which launched its first season in 2022. Races take place in several city centre locations across the world.[2][3] The series was conceived by motorsport entrepreneur Hrag Sarkissian and former racing driver Khalil Beshir. Lucas Di Grassi served as sustainability ambassador, while Alexander Wurz had the role of safety ambassador.[4] Swiss rider Matis Neyroud won the first race. The series has been announced to return for a second season in 2024/25.[5]

## S1-X eSkootr

Developed especially for the series with help from Italian motorsports engineering and lightweight composites company Ycom,[6] the S1-X eSkootr, which all riders race with, is able to reach speeds of more than 100 km/h with a lean of greater than 50 degrees.[7] They include twin 6 kW motors and a battery developed by Williams Advanced Engineering with a capacity of 1.33kWh.[8] Total weight of 35 kilograms, hydraulic brakes, 6.5 inch wheels, carbon fibre chassis, fairings and bodywork are Bcomp flax fibre composite.[9]

## Calendar

For eSC's inaugural season, six rounds were originally announced, with the first in London in May 2022. The championship was scheduled to remain in Europe before finishing in the United States in October.[10]

Before the third planned race in Italy, the remaining races were postponed[11] before it was announced that the season would conclude with a double-header event at Circuit Paul Ricard near Marseille,[12] moving the competition to a purpose-built racing circuit for the first time.

The London race was staged at multi-purpose venue Printworks London in the east of the city.[13]

The riders' championship was won by Aymard Vernay[14] while Nico Roche Racing won the teams' championship.
