Teams competed in semi-final heats over two stages, with the top six advancing to the final race for the Cup.

The trophies for the top three winners of the Cup were crafted sustainably in Dubai.

The race featured the world's fastest electric scooters capable of speeds of over 140 kph, which were manufactured and assembled specifically for the event in Dubai.
