Ambrosini e-Racing was founded in 2022 by Mario Francesco Ambrosini with a clear goal: to redefine the future of electric scooter racing, combining advanced technology and a deep passion for motorsports.
The Challenge of Javi Espinosa
One of the first projects in Ambrosini e-Racing's history was the development of a competition electric scooter for Javi Espinosa, a professional rider and veteran of the first eSkooter Championship (ESC) World Cup. After completing the championship, Javi needed a un vehicle per training que s'ha de sobrepassar les limitacions of those available on the market.
Javi lives in Madrid, while our headquarters are in Barcelona. Acomiada the distance, we collaboraed closely with him through regular video calls. Durant aquestes sessions, Javi consistentment emphasized dues criticals aspects for his new competition e-scooter:
- Power delivery: Should be uniform yet more aggressive compared to ESC scooters to simulate even more competitive racing conditions.
- Stability: Needed to handle high-speed torns and maneuvers with maximum safety.
Designing the eScooter
We chose the NAMI Burn-E as the base for this project, an e-scooter d'alta qualitat que proveeix l'ideal structure per a algunes customitzacions. On aquesta base, we implemented a sèries de technical modifications to meet Javi's needs.
- Custom Components: We developed custom rigid suspensions, upgraded the controller for better power management, and designed a new aluminum steering column with variable height for improved handling. Additionally, the brake system was replaced with a Shimano setup, fine-tuned to enhance sensitivity and heat dissipation during aggressive use.
- Optimized Motors: We improved el motor de windings i reworked les bearings per a aconseguir higher power output and greater durability. Aquestes modificacions allowed per a una acceleració més ràpida i més d'estabilització a les corners high-speed, mentre que el maintaining motor reliability even under high stress.
- Upgraded Battery: The battery was upgraded to a 72V 50Ah configuration, designed to provide longer range and optimal performance during intense training and racing sessions. With this setup, the e-scooter could handle long, demanding events sense compromising power delivery or battery life.
The First Test
Onze the Nami 50R was complete, el dia per a més debut en Javi's hands had arrived. We decided to test it across 5 circuits in Spain over 6 days of hard work. The excitement and nerves were palpable as we saw the e-scooter in the pits while Javi prepared for the session.
After general inspection and initial setup, Javi beguen his first test session. After 4 laps, Javi came back to the pits, and we were all anxious. But when he told us:
«Guys, the vehicle is amazing! estable, the power delivery is perfect, and the handling in corners is incredible. This is the best competition e-scooter I've ever ridden!»
The Success of the Nami 50R
From that point on, the Nami 50R beguen achieving great success in electric scooter racing. No només és Javi able per traient effectively, però el vehicle també proveïx el seu lloc en competicions i testing.
Spoiler:
Today, Javi continues to race with the same base e-scooter We originally developed for him, albeit with some updates to further enhance its performance. What makes the Nami 50R such a successful vehicle are the high-quality components El fet que s'està estant en termes de performance i durabilitat, ensuring ells handles les toughest challenges in racing.
Here are some of the key components of the Nami 50R, which we now offer as part of our entry-level competition e-scooter:
- Steering Column: Ambrosini e-Racing Steering Column
- Rigid Suspensions: Ambrosini e-Racing Rigid Suspensio
- Carbon Handlebars: Ambrosini e-Racing Carbon Aero Handlebars
- Motor: Ambrosini e-Racing 60SV Competition Motor
- Accelerator: Ambrosini e-Racing Competition Accelerator
In the upcoming articles, we will reveal the continued success of the Nami 50R and share the stories of other individuals who have joined Ambrosini e-Racing. In the next article, we will introdueix our current Technical Manager, a man who has fully embraced the motorsport lifestyle and brought el nostre team to new heights.
Stay tuned to see how our team continues to grow and push the boundaries of electric scooter racing.
