BMW Subtracts Two Wheels From Zero-Emissions Travel
Published Monday, 10 October, 2011 by Blog Admin. Categories: Green, News.
It's no secret that BMW builds some of the most incredible luxury cars on the road today. It's also no secret that BMW has focused a large amount of time and resources on making those models more sustainable. After all, BMW is known for the green technology employed across its lineup, and now models like the BMW i3 concept and BMW i8 concept are bringing those technologies to the forefront of drivers' minds around the world.
Another effort that BMW is making to ensure zero-emissions commuting is embraced around the world is by introducing a new pure-EV on two wheels, rather than four. That's right the Bavarian automaker is working on a new pure-EV scooter, and we here at Passport BMW could not be more thrilled!
The prospect of another electric offering from BMW is quite exciting because it not only proves their dedication to making driving more sustainable; it also gives us one more incredible looking model to drool over.
And drool we shall. The new BMW pure-EV scooter, which has been officially named the BMW Motottad Concept E, is all electric and it features the same performance as a 400-500cc bike. BMW has constructed it to boast 60 volts of pure-electric power and an incredible 60-mile driving range, making it a perfect bike for city commutes.
Another impressive aspect of this new bike is the charging time. It makes use of a standard 110-volt outlet, but it recharges in a mere three hours! Compare this to the sometimes 12-hour lone charging time that some electric cars tout, and it's easy to see why the prospect of this bike thrills us so much.
But, electric or not, we all know how much looks still matter. After all, this is something that you're going to be seen with on the road! Luckily, BMW hasn't sacrificed style for green performance. As it turns out, the BMW Motottad Concept E is actually an incredibly well designed ride. It features a sleek body with neon-green side panels, along with two rearview cameras feeding into an in-dash LCD display in place of standard rearview mirrors.
Prefer to stay on four wheels? We don't blame you. That is, after all, why we carry such a wide range of new BMW modes here at 4730 Auth Place Marlow Heights, MD 20746, such as the BMW 128i, BMW 335i, and BMW 650i.
