Start Where the Pros Started

We are not newcomers to the track. BRP-Rotax has been driving powertrain innovation forward for over a century. From introducing the legendary Rotax 125 MAX engine with its industry-changing push-button start, to pioneering professional e-karting with the CIK-FIA approved Rotax E20, we define the standards of the paddock.
 

Championship Pedigree:

Formula 1 icons like Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and Kimi Raikkonen all built their foundational racing skills on a Rotax kart. With the E10, we are bringing that exact same championship-winning engineering to the electric era.
