E-scooter race heading to Dubai streets

Some of the world’s best riders are set to race on the fastest electric scooter around the streets of Dubai.

Sixteen top male and female riders will compete together in a knockout style race for the title of the first Dubai Electric Scooter Cup champion.

Designed specifically for the event, the RS-Zero DXB edition is the fastest electric race scooter in the world with a top speed of over 140 kph.

The race will take place on December 16, 2023 as a culmination of the Year of Sustainability in the UAE.

The Federation for Micromobility and Sport has partnered with the Dubai Sports Council to organise the event.
