The eSkootr Championship (eSC) announced a key global micromobility partnership with natural fiber composite specialist Bcomp for chassis design.
Bcomp, which also works on the Extreme E electric cars, has pioneered the development of sustainable, high-performance materials for elite motorsport.
Instead of carbon fiber, Bcomp supplies its patented ampliTex technical fabrics derived from linen reinforced with powerRibs for the next championship.
