BMW Launched C evolution electric scooter

BMW Motorrad has presented the near-production prototype of the C evolution e-scooter as it might soon go on the market.

With 11 kW continuous output and 35 kW peak output, the "C evolution" has a powerful motor and provides a high level of riding fun.

The top speed is electronically limited to 120 km/h. The scooter supremely handles motorway riding and overtaking - even with a passenger.

It is also capable of effortless hill starts on steep slopes with a pillion passenger.

In terms of acceleration from 0 to 60 km/h, it comfortably holds its own against current maxi scooters a capacity of 600 cc or more.

Compared to conventional combustion engines, the electric drive of the "C evolution" also offers significant advantages at low speeds in particular.

At 8 kWh, the storage capacity of the battery is extremely generous and ensures a range of up to 100 kilometres.

This means that realistic zero-emissions riding in the big city and in urban environments is no problem at all.

s in other areas, BMW Motorrad has been able to draw on synergy effects with BMW automobiles here.
For example, the "C evolution" uses the same lithium-ion storage modules as are installed in the BMW i3.

However, the battery casing in die-cast aluminium not only holds the cells with their special architecture but also the entire electronics unit for monitoring the cells. It also acts as a load-bearing chassis element.

The power electronics for the electric drive is installed behind the battery casing.

This not only takes care of controlling the alternator within a range of 100 to 150 volts but also responds to rider commands, for example by detecting the position of the throttle grip.

Innovative electric drive via drivetrain swing arm with liquid-cooled alternator, tooth belt and planetary gear.

The secondary drive is via a tooth belt from the alternator to the rear belt pulley on the output shaft. From here, power is transferred to the rear wheel via a planetary gear.

The total gear reduction is 1:8.4, while the maximum rotational speed of the alternator is 10,000 rpm.

The drag torque generated by the alternator is like the familiar "engine brake" that takes effect when removing the accelerator with a combustion engine.

The battery is charged via the integrated charging device, either at a regular household socket or a charging station.

When the battery is completely flat, charging time ideally lasts less than three hours.

The car-type charging socket - currently the only one of its kind in an electrically powered two-wheel vehicle - is located behind a cover in the footwell at front left.

The combined effect of the colour "Light white" and the highlight colour "Electric green" reflects the vehicle's specific properties, such as maximum environmental compatibility, supreme dynamic performance and simple handling.

What is more, the illuminating "e" inscription on the two battery side trim elements and motor unit bear out the technical character of an electrically powered scooter.

Very good stylish , i like very much scooter.
