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.

The rules for every sanctioned racing authority varies. But, all officially sanctioned scooter organizations have certain safety requirements. For example, riders must have a full face helmet and a set of leathers. Additionally, your bolts on your scooter need to be safety-wired so they do not come loose when you are racing. Also, Nyloc nuts maybe required on parts of your scooter and you may be required to tape your headlights to your scooter. Overall, when compared to motorcycle and/or stock car racing, motor scooter racing is not that expensive of a hobby.
