The BMW Concept C Scooter is the latest offering from the individual motoring department and as the name suggests, this scooter is still in the concept phase with the C part of the name standing for Commuter. BMW are focusing on the big scooter segment with the Concept C which will come in 2 different combustion engine choices with BMW giving some thought to an electric motor version somewhere further down the line.
The focus of the Concept C Scooter, according to BMW, is on agility, comfort and a maximum experience of dynamic riding. BMW note that the big scooter segment has grown rapidly around the world and are looking into targeting this potential market, however, with the Concept C Scooter, BMW are looking at changing things up a bit. Most big scooters have predominantly vertical lines and colour schemes, where as BMW are looking at a scooter with more of a sporty and dynamic styling.
The BMW Concept C Scooter is powered by a 2-cylinder inline engine in conjunction with Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT). BMW note that this should set the Concept C Scooter near the top of the segment as far as engine power, torque and performance are concerned.
While there are still many details of the scooter that have not been released, one of the most impressive features to look forward to is the noticeable absence of rear-view mirrors. The conventional rear-view mirrors have been replaced by 2 video cameras near the rear of the scooter. These cameras record the area behind the scooter and display the images in 2 LCD monitors found in the front display panel of the scooter. This front panel will also display the speed you are traveling, the engine speed and other important data.
