Taking sustainable micro-mobility to professional sport has become a reality thanks to the eSkootr Championship, the first 100% electric scooter category, which will make its debut in 2022, and already has a second team confirmed for the starting grid: Helbiz.

The company will fully enter the green motorsport, after being one of the revolutionary manufacturers of small-scale mobility and technology for transportation since it was founded in 2015, by Italian entrepreneur Salvatore Palella, who envisioned to solve transit problems in big cities with heavy traffic.

The Helbiz team will have three riders for the championship coming from different sports categories, not necessarily linked to motorsport, but with a clear objective: to be part of a sport which will generate great rivalries on tracks around the world, selected to shape the official calendar.

Helbiz is one of the leading companies on the scooter sector; therefore, the organizers are confident that their experience and leadership will be transferred to the sport, considering that the vehicles will be wilder, faster and more aggressive, and be exposed to demanding mechanical requirements.

Helbiz’s Future at eSkootr Championship.

“We are delighted to welcome Helbiz to eSC. Apart from broader ambitions around the Championship, I have no doubt that Helbiz will compete at eSC to win and be competitive from the start. As a company, they share our passion for improving micro-mobility and providing safer and sustainable urban transport options,” said Khalil Beschir, Chief Operating Officer of eSkootr Championship.

eSC considers the partnership with Helbiz and their arrival at the championship as an alliance that will provide a successful vision to share experiences and provide solutions that will impact tomorrow on building a cleaner and smarter society.

“We recently announced the Helbiz One launch, our Made in Italy scooter Designed by Pininfarina: The prototype of the first scooter for sale. This new special model and the collaboration with eSC adds value to the company and I am delighted to be closely following it, because it takes us into an exciting and adrenaline-filled world,” asserted Emanuele Liatti, product manager of Helbiz.

A new page in sustainable motorsport history will be written when the eSkootr Championship premieres as the first electric scooter category. Jordan Rand is one of the riders testing the eSkootr with her talent. Her history as a model, however, draws attention for her arrival.

Rand already has experience as a SuperBike rider, though she now face a totally different challenge when she gets on an electric scooter as a testing driver in the class developed by a group of drivers from Formula 1 and FIA Formula E debuts.

The model has featured at high-profile events, such as Altuzarra, Louis Vuitton and Coach, and now she’ll suit up to take on the electric speed challenge offered by the eSkootr Championship. “I love that there’s a real diversity in sports, not just for people of color, but also for different athletic backgrounds,” Rand told Hypebae.

You shouldn’t be fooled by her modeling profession, as Rand is quite an athlete trained to take on this challenge. She was a track athlete and ice skater in the past, so high-performance sport has always been present in her life, and 100% electric scooter will be no exception in case she would be selected.

One of the non-sporting advantages offered by the eSkootr Championship will be the promotion of sustainable micromobility safely through these types of vehicles, increasingly seen in the streets of major cities around the world, and projected to continue to grow in the future.

Jordan Rand in Detail

“The eSkootr races, however, filled me with hope. It was an opportunity to become a professional racer, while actually having the opportunity to fight,” said Rand, noting that this championship is a new sport, so all riders on the grid will be under a learning process.

Finally, one of the most important factors that led the model to race at the eSkootr Championship was the category’s diversity regarding race, gender and willingness to accept athletes from different categories, such as motorcycling, water skiing, skiing, etc.
