Oracle Red Bull Racing
The Game Changing Oracle Red Bull Racing RBS#01 Electric Scooter
March 26, 2024
NOW AVAILABLE
After two years of meticulous design and development, the gamechanging Oracle Red Bull Racing RBS#01 electric scooter is now available and ready to ship — the team’s first venture into the consumer product sector.
Available now in the US, the RBS#01 is a unique opportunity for the public to experience the engineering brilliance of F1 World Champions.
“The RBS#01 marks the launch of Oracle Red Bull Racing’s first consumer product,” said Rob Gray, Technical Director of Red Bull Advanced Technologies. “Our team of engineers have developed a trailblazing e-Scooter that aims to disrupt the market. Winning performance is at the heart of everything we do and through rigorous testing and the development of a full carbon-fiber chassis, the RBS#01 delivers a truly unique riding experience.”
Designed over the course of 2,500 engineering hours, the RBS#01 is the ultimate electric scooter. It’s a ground-up, pure bespoke design done by the world’s best F1 engineers when left to their own devices. Nearly no component is shared with any other product on the market.
Taking cues from the F1 car, the design team built the chassis out of primarily carbon fiber and chose oversized karting tires as the rubber of choice. The carbon construction is light and has incredible performance characteristics, while the oversized tires keep the scooter stuck to the ground at high speed and reduce the need for suspension. Power is provided by a 750W electric drive unit that makes 80Nm of torque, all fueled by a 760Wh battery concealed inside the deck.
To prove the design concept, Oracle Red Bull Racing subjected the scooter to a series of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tests to ensure it would stand up to extreme use. In testing that included drop tests, jump tests, and free fall tests, the RBS#01 came away rated to withstand 2 tones of weight and 3G of load.
The RBS#01 is the only electric scooter on the market with a full carbon fiber chassis, redefining the definition of lightweight when comparative to size, coming in at a mere 50.7lbs and delivering a power-to-weight ratio a racing car would be proud of.
Cabling from the cockpit is channeled internally through the single-sided carbon steering column, giving the RBS#01 a sleek aesthetic.

Red Bull Advanced Technologies Announces The RB17
June 28, 2022
A NEW ERA OF PERFORMANCE CARS HAS ARRIVED
Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the high-performance engineering arm of Red Bull Racing Group, today announced details of its first hypercar project designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house. Created by Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the RB17 is a two-seat hypercar optimized for the ultimate on-track driving experience. Just 50 RB17s will be made at the Red Bull Technology Campus in Milton Keynes, with production scheduled to commence in 2025.
Christian Horner, CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, added: “The RB17 marks an important milestone in the evolution of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, now fully capable of creating and manufacturing a series production car at our Red Bull Technology Campus. Further, the RB17 marks the first time that a car wearing the Red Bull brand has been available to collectors.”
Adrian Newey commented: “The RB17 distills everything we know about creating championship-winning Formula One cars into a package that delivers extreme levels of performance in a two-seat track car. Driven by our passion for performance at every level, the RB17 pushes design and technical boundaries far beyond what has been previously available to enthusiasts and collectors.”
Powered by a hybrid engine developing over 1,100bhp, the RB17 takes its inspiration – and name – from the cars that Red Bull Racing has campaigned in the world’s most demanding and technically advanced motorsport series. Designed around a carbon-composite tub, the RB17 features the most advanced ground effect package available in a series production car. Full technical details for the RB17 will be released in due course. Expressions of interest in the RB17 can be made from today by following the link below:
Just 50 collectors set to become owners of the RB17. That ownership includes more than the car, bringing a close association with the Red Bull Racing team through access to simulators, vehicle program development and on-track training and experiences. The RB17 will be supported directly by the factory, with servicing and maintenance support tailored to each owner and their usage profile for the car.
Since its
foundation in 2005, Red Bull Racing has progressively expanded its operations
and capabilities, now located on a 290-acre campus in Milton Keynes. Red Bull
Advanced Technologies was created in 2014 and brings its exceptional
engineering, design, technology, simulation, and production capabilities to a
hugely diverse set of industries. The creation of the RB17 will both secure
existing jobs and create over 100 new positions in Milton Keynes, in addition
to the economic benefits across project partners and suppliers.
