“Our Vancouver event is a pilot for what we hope will grow into a fascinating and thrilling sport for racing and e-ride enthusiasts,” said TEF1 in an email to Daily Hive. “As a pilot, we will be hosting an EUC race which will include qualifying rounds, followed by a final race to determine the winners of the event.

“However, our long-term plan is to host races for all types of PEVs, such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric longboards.

TEF1 Race Day will feature electric unicycles racing down 300 ft straights and challenging turns for a chance to win thousands of dollars in cash prizes. The top five racers will also automatically qualify for the league’s championship event.
