2013 New BMW electric scooter C

[Sokol]

Couldn't see this posted anywhere, but came across this recently. Some stats:
- 8 kWh air-cooled lithium-ion battery pack;
- range of up to 62 miles (100 km);
- battery can be recharged in approximately four hours from a 220V domestic socket with a 12A charge current or in three hours with a 16A charge current.
- four ride modes (Road, Eco Pro, Sail, Dynamic);
- TFT color display
- LED daytime running lights which will automatically dim to double as the sidelight;
- heated handlebar grips;
- Torque Control Assist (TCA) which will limit the motor's torque based on the rear wheel's slip.

Hopefully this interesting for someone.

Odd how it's in london. The city wants to be the electric vehicle capital of europe, but the people have about the least interest.

Norway has brutal winters that are very long, but the summer days are long too...they are buying more Tesla-S cars than anyone. Very gung-ho on EV's in Norway.

The population is small, and they have a lot of hydro-electric.

A light rwd sports car is perfect for the conditions. The lack of roof makes punching the air like in turbo outrun a must lol

Iceland have even cheaper electricity. 25% geothermal and 75% hydro, and just 0.1% fossil fueled. That's very efficient lol
They don't actually need much either, as almost 90% of the buildings are heated geothermally.
They have so much energy, they heat the pavements.


I looked further in to londons charge point plans. It is £100 a year, use as much as you can. The goal is to get one within a mile of everyone. Even when this goal is reached, do you think you will get anywhere near one?
