BMW E-Scooter Concept Side View
At BMW Motorrad Innovation Day 2011, the German brand has taken the veil on its latest campaign concept electric E-scooter, but decided to keep the camo on. But BMW was kind enough to give us a set of images and two videos that present the development studio innovative electric drive.
BMW E-scooter focuses on two main areas: dynamic figures are comparable to those of a maxi scooter with a combustion engine and a high range of realistic conditions. Although figures were not released, BMW says the concept vehicle, you must be able to reach the maximum acceleration power within 0-60 km / h (37 mph) range, which is the current level of maxi-scooters powered by a 600 cc engine combustion. The battery capacity allows the daily driving range of over 100 km (60 miles).
It is also capable of exceeding safe and reliable on highways in urban areas, and also when two persons, and management of hill starts on steep slopes with a passenger. What is really interesting about this concept is that maxi scooter has a main body, because the action has shifted to the aluminum housing of the battery. Check the headrest is attached to it, as the posterior trunk and left arm mounted on a single straight zipper, shock absorbers installed horizontally, such as BMW says.
Supercharging equipment includes charging cable that allows the battery can be recharged at a standard household outlet. Also, when the E-Scooter has slowed down after the throttle or braking, the energy released is recovered, which increases the autonomy of the vehicle between 10 and 20 percent depending on driving profile.
Vista security, BMW ensures that the high standards set for safety in high voltage (> 60 volts) and reliability are applied to a two-wheeled vehicle with an electric motor. However, more information is expected to be revealed closer to the EICMA show in November, where the BMW is expected to debut in two production models in maxi scooter.
