Compact, powerful and safe, the Rotax E10 features advanced low-voltage technology. Setup is quick and intuitive, so the kart is ready for action within minutes. From young talents to professional drivers, the E10 delivers the thrill of racing with proven Rotax quality.
"The E10 is more than just a powertrain – it's a game-changer for karting," states Peter Ölsinger, General Manager BRP-Rotax and Vice President Sales, Marketing RPS-Business & Communications. "It combines real racing performance with zero emissions and maximum simplicity, opening the karting sport to new audiences and marking an important step towards a more sustainable future."
A strategic step for BRP-Rotax
With the introduction of the E10, BRP-Rotax expanded its kart engine portfolio and now opens the sport to new customer groups. It directly addresses key challenges in the industry – noise, complexity and pollution– at a time when regulations are tightening, operators are losing flexibility, and consumers are becoming more demanding. For BRP-Rotax, the E10 is a milestone that supports the long-term future of the business, strengthens the dealer network and creates new opportunities in electric mobility.
Pure racing, made easy and silent
The E10 offers silent acceleration, zero emissions and minimal maintenance, delivering pure racing action that benefits drivers, operators and communities alike. Tracks can extend their hours without disturbing neighbors, while organizers gain fairer competition where skill decides the race.
For operators, it means true plug & race efficiency: no fuel handling, no tuning, no complex maintenance – just charge and drive. Families and young drivers gain a safe and easy entry into motorsports, while racing schools and professionals rely on the proven performance and reliability of BRP-Rotax – now electrified.
Designed for all ages
The Rotax E10 is available in two configurations for competitive racing:
- E10 Bambini: ages 6–9, 950 chassis
- E10 Mini: ages 9–12, 950 chassis
For recreational karting, it can also be used with a larger 1050 chassis – suitable for drivers aged 6 and up.
E10 and E20 – a seamless pathway
The Rotax E10 and E20 underline the company's technology-open approach. The E10 is the ideal entry point: a low-voltage, risk-free series product available to race organizers, track operators and private customers. It gives young drivers and newcomers a safe and accessible start. The E20 is the next step, a high-performance powertrain for international racing, currently operated in two Arrive & Drive fleets with 36 karts. Together, E10 and E20 create a clear pathway from first laps in karting to professional competition.
Market launch
Sales of the E10 are handled through the global BRP-Rotax dealer network. Orders can be placed immediately, with availability starting by the end of this calendar year.
