BMW Motorrad has raised the benchmark in the e-scooter segment to a new level with the launch of the new BMW C evolution. Featuring a new generation of batteries, as used in the current BMW i3, the range has been significantly extended. The C evolution is an innovative scooter – e-mobility on two wheels.
Constantly expanding traffic volumes, rising energy costs and increasingly rigorous CO2 restrictions on inner-city traffic – these are the challenges that electrically powered vehicles consistently set out to tackle. Following the BMW Group’s sustainability strategy and parallel to BMW i in the automobile sector, BMW Motorrad moved into the field of electric mobility at a very early stage in 2012, ultimately putting forward a convincing statement in the form of the C evolution e-scooter.
The new C evolution offers increased e-performance with ranges of 160 and 100 kilometers respectively and is available in two variants in future – the Long Range version and the European version that meets the requirements for the A1 driving license – BMW Motorrad now raises the benchmark in the e‑scooter segment to a new level.
Featuring a new generation of batteries with a cell capacity of 94 Ah, as used in the current BMW i3, the range has been significantly extended. What is more, a new charge cable with a smaller diameter is now included as standard. New optional accessories such as the smartphone cradle also mean there are now many more ways to customize the BMW C evolution.
In the new C evolution Long Range the continuous output is 19 kW (26 hp), 8 kW (11 hp) more than in the predecessor model, while the range has been significantly extended to approximately 160 kilometers. The top speed is 129 km/h (electronically limited). Dynamic paint finishes in Ionic silver metallic/electric green. Last but not least, the new BMW C evolution now steps into the limelight with a refined visual appearance. Both versions of the new C evolution are available in the new paint finish Ionic silver metallic/electric green, combined with the contrasting color black storm metallic. A new graphic has also been added to the centre tunnel trim in the Long Range version.
