An Introduction to Motor Scooter Racing
The racing of motor scooters helps the motor scooter enthusiast meet their hunger for speed. Each race has a different class for riders. Some, officially sanctioned, racing events allow the participant to ride their wild, tricked out modified motor scooters. Also, you can even race a motor scooter if you have a stock scooter. Additionally, you can race your a scooter that is as small as 50cc.
There are several forms of motor scooter races. In Europe, it is popular to drag race your motor scooter. But, in the United States the riding on twisty tracks is popular.
Every motor scooter sanctioned racing authority has different rules. However, all officially sanctioned scooter organizations require the rider to meet certain safety requirements. For example, all riders must have a full face motor scooter helmet and a set of leathers. Additionally, your bolts on the scooter need to be wired safe so they do not come loose when the rider is racing. Also, Nyloc nuts are ofte required to be placed on parts of your scooter and you likely will be required to tape your headlights on your scooter. Overall, when compared to supercross racing and/or NASCAR, motor scooter racing is not that costly of a hobby.
Several regional and international motor scooter sanctioning bodies are active. Here are the main ones:
Mid-America Scooter Sports (MASS) - This motor scooter racing body serves the Midwest and organize races in Ohio, Missouri, and Wisconsin
Eastern Scooter Racing Association (ESRA) - as the name implies they hold motor scooter races on the eastern coast.
American Scooter Racing Association (ASRA) - is based in California and is the oldest motor scooter racing organization in the U.S.
The British Scooter Sport Organization (BSRA) - governs motor scooter racing in the United Kingdom. It runs races from 50cc scooters and up to 650cc. According to their website it costs 27 pounds to participate in their race.
