BMW C1-E Concept (2009) Scooter Wallpapers

The C1-E is powered by an electric motor based on components from Vectrix, an electric scooter manufacturer, and the lithium-ion battery powers sufficiently enough to master most inner-city traffic. BMW says that the C1-E could also be equipped with a small internal combustion engine.

BMW C1-E Concept (2009)

Based on BMW’s C1 scooter, originally offered in Europe nearly a decade ago, the Munich automaker developed the C1-E, an electric concept scooter as a contribution to project eSum (European Safer Urban Motorcycling). Unlike a traditional scooter, the driver of the C1-E is encapsulated by what is dubbed the ’safety-cell’ which is a pod-like enclosure around the driver that serves to absorb impact and prevent roll-overs with its conspicuously designed roll over bar. Also not ordinary of scooters, the driver of the C1-E is secured via seatbelt.

The C1-E is powered by an electric motor based on components from Vectrix, an electric scooter manufacturer, and the lithium-ion battery powers sufficiently enough to master most inner-city traffic. BMW says that the C1-E could also be equipped with a small internal combustion engine.

The C1-E is not scheduled for production, as it is strictly a test-study, though the findings of the study will serve to improve the future state of single-track vehicle development.
