might be most familiar with BMW’s automobile division, but the company has been building motorcycles longer than it’s been building cars. Most of the time the two divisions work independently, but occasional collaboration and parts sharing does occur. In an effort to boost both range and sales, BMW Motorrad poached the new 94 Ah battery pack from the 2017 BMW i3 and stuck it under their C Evolution scooter for some all-electric, two-wheeled motoring. This release includes Japan, China and South Korea.

 

 

A peak output of 35 kW (48 bhp) and 72 Nm of torque at the “crankshaft” in theory makes for 600 Nm of torque at the rear wheel in practice, enabling acceleration from 0 – 50 km/h in 2.7 seconds. What is more there is a range of 100 kilometres in urban setting, four riding modes and energy recuperation during braking. The electric drive in the C evolution ensures a whole new sensation.
