    BMW's electric scooter



    "Although technical details remain scant, the electric scooter is claimed to have a "realistic" riding range of 100 kilometres between charges while matching the performance of regular "twist-and-go" maxi scooters, which typically take between five and six seconds to reach 100km/h from rest.

    Charging requires a regular household power socket, which takes less than three hours to recharge when the battery is completely flat, according to BMW.

    A concept wouldn’t be a concept without some visionary design features and the Concept e doesn’t disappoint. Instead of conventional rear mirrors, there are two video cameras integrated in the tail-light that project rearward traffic conditions via two LCD monitors in the cockpit alongside speed and other relevant information."

    DM now the scooter review has kinda died it up to you to pick up the ball and run with it, ok

    Good alternative to a moped class scoot, but psychologically paying 400+ in rego doesn't sit well, that alone could kill the market?

    Neat!

    5 or 6 second to 100, so it's got some push then too.

    Ha! If they send me one (and preferably let me keep it), I'll review it
