    BMW Motorrad has introduced its newest concept scooter known as the C1-E electric concept scooter. According to BMW Motorrad, this concept scooter is a safe, environment-friendly and highly practical single track vehicle for city traffic could look like in the future. You may remember the C1 scooter that was available in Europe between 2000 and 2003. Like its predecessor, the C1-E concept features a fully-enclosed cabin with built-in rollover protection, a front-end impact zone, a four-point safety belt and a low center of gravity. Besides this, the C1-E is equipped with electronic aids such as integrated ABS, Traction Control, Tire Pressure Control and Anti-Slip Control. There are even plans of equipping this bike with a “forward-looking rider assistance systems” that help with cross-traffic and traffic light guidance as well as warning alerts for road hazards, emergency vehicles, sudden braking or advancing bad weather.


    A great concept, let’s hope BMW Motorrad finds better luck with the C1-E concept than it did with the C1 scooter.
