Despite past criticism that its green efforts weren’t particularly green, the BMW EV revolution is now in full swing. Production versions of the $40K i3 electric compact and the hyper-sexy i8 electric supercar are
expected to hit the road this year, and the company has announced that
the new BMW C Evolution electric scooter will bring the BMW i brand’s
electric storage units to the two-wheeled world, as well. The bike shown
here is now on display at the 2013 Frankfurt auto show (as of September
10th), and should reach BMW dealers as a 2014 model.

Frankfurt 2013: BMW C Evolution Electric Scooter
The Frankfurt auto show is usually the beginning of a
model year’s auto show season, and this year is no exception with a
host of 2014 models being shown for the first time. BMW is starting us
off with a bit of 2 wheeled news this morning, having recently announced
that the company’s C Evolution electric scooter will be officially
available for sale after its September 10th showing at Frankfurt.
BMW’s been teasing us with the C evolution since the “sleek, pointy” concept version broke cover in 2011. More recently, the gas-powered versions of the C maxi-scoot have gotten rave reviews as fast, practical, sexy long-distance tourers and capable city-dwellers, as well.
The new BMW C Evolution uses the same “energy storage
modules” that BMW’s i division is using in their recently announced i3
and i8 machines, so performance is expected to be solid, with final
specs (power, range, load capacity, etc.) to be revealed on the 10th.
Stay tuned!
