Munich. A new trend is coming to the world of
electric mobility this year: e-scooters. This is the smart form of
everyday transport – and the reason why BMW Lifestyle will be
expanding its compact city scooter range for young and old from
September 2019. The launch of the pioneering BMW E-Scooter sees the
BMW Group building on its successful cooperation with Micro (inventor
of the Micro Scooter) with another compelling demonstration of
innovative technology and high-quality design at work.
The new BMW E-Scooter will get its rider to their
destination even more quickly, thanks to its range of twelve
kilometres (7.5 miles) and 20 km/h (12 mph) top speed. Two separate
braking systems and embedded front and rear lights provide the
requisite safety on the road. And yet this lightweight scooter (it
weighs just nine kilograms) still boasts the space-saving design of a
city scooter and can be folded up very easily. The 150-watt motor and
lithium-ion battery slip away almost out of sight into the footplate
and rear wheel, making the new E-Scooter every inch the practical
everyday companion. It takes just two hours to fully charge the
E-Scooter’s battery so it’s ready to go again. Micro’s matt-black
colour design is the ideal match for the classical blue of the BMW
propeller logo.
Created as part of the first collaboration between the BMW Group and
Micro, the adjustable BMW City Scooter allows the
rider to take it with them everywhere thanks to its triple-secured
folding and locking mechanism. The low footplate with integrated
kickstand and the large wheels offer excellent comfort on the commute
to work. And with destination reached, the City Scooter can be parked
away neatly in space-saving style.
The size-shifting BMW Kids Scooter makes an ideal
set of wheels for even very small children. Little ones from three
years old can use it for balancing practice, and the seat surface
opens to reveal space for a selection of favourite toys. For
youngsters aged up to twelve, the seat can be simply taken off and the
height of the handlebars adjusted as the rider gets taller. The BMW
Kids Scooter is available in Black / Orange and White / Raspberry Red.
All BMW scooters are available for purchase at selected BMW dealers.
The BMW E-Scooter will be available starting from September 2019.
