The Dubai Sports Council and the Association for Micromobility and Sport have announced the establishment of the Dubai Electric Scooters Cup, the premier event showcasing e-scooter racing and micro-mobility potential. The Uae Electric Scooter Cup, which will take place on December 16, 2023, as a capstone event for the UAE’s Year of Sustainability, will bring together the top scooterists in the world to compete on the quickest electric scooter across Dubai’s streets.
Sixteen of the best male and female racers will compete head-to-head in a knockout race at over 100 kph to vie for the title of the inaugural Dubai scooter Cup Champion, celebrating sustainability, innovative mobility, safety, and diversity.
With a top speed of almost 140 kph, the RS-Zero DXB version is the quickest electric race motorcycle in the world and was created especially for the Uae Electric Scooters Cup. It has cutting-edge technology, a lean angle of more than 58 degrees, and is made to provide the best possible performance for professional athletes.
The growth of micromobility as a thrilling new racing discipline and a more environmentally friendly mode of urban transportation is being led by the International Federation for Micromobility and Sport. The aim of this partnership with the Dubai Sport Council in order to organize the inaugural Dubai Electric Scooters Cup is to lead the way in technological, infrastructural, and safety advancements within the rapidly expanding micromobility industry.
The Federation for Micromobility, or and Sport President, Alex Wurz, stated, “I’m excited to take this significant step in a city that is looking for new mobility alternatives. This one-of-a-kind event will highlight the possibilities of micromobility—racing through future cities in close quarters while maintaining the highest safety standards. This historic agreement between the Federation and Dubai Sports Council portends great things for the future.
The Dubai Sports Council’s secretary-general, Saeed Mohammed Hareb, stated: “The Dubai Electric Scooters Cup will be the ultimate e-scooter racing competition and an exhibition for cutting-edge e-technology.” It gives us great pleasure to collaborate with the Association on the security and assimilation issues facing the micromobility industry.
