Now you can already experience tomorrow’s urban
mobility with the BMW C evolution – without compromise. The powerful, completely
electrical engine guarantees fast arrival and real riding pleasure. And –
thanks to a range of up to 160 km – it’s a pleasure for the whole day. In
addition, there are four riding modes, as well as intelligent energy
recuperation during braking and accelerating. Riding performance of the highest
order, environmental friendliness, innovative technology – the C evolution
stands for riding pleasure without any compromise.
Contrary to conventional internal combustion
engines, the C evolution’s electrical engine features a spontaneous and very
prompt transmission. The torque build-up offers no delays, but instead full
power from the first meter.
A peak output of 48 bhp and 72 Nm of torque
at the “crankshaft“ in theory make for nearly 600 Nm of torque at the rear
wheel in practice. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 129 km/h to
ensure optimized power consumption and range. With an acceleration from 0 – 50
km/h in only 2.8 seconds, you’ll start from traffic lights like no other.
The C evolution uses battery modules of the newest
generation. They are equivalent to those used in the BMW i3 and enable a 60 %
increase in range, pushing it up to 160 kilometres. The battery can be charged
with its integrated charger either at a charge column or at a common household
socket. Short charging times are especially useful in everyday life. So is the
new silent charge mode that makes for a slightly longer loading but also a much
quieter one.
The shape of the C evolution speaks futuristic and
is at first sight typical of BMW Motorrad. LED daytime running light, LED
lights and the big TFT display emphasise the technological lead. Concurrently,
the striking split-face definitely relegates to the membership of the BMW
Motorrad family. The new Metallic mineral grey / Black colour makes a bold
statement and, combined with the black side trim panel, paves the way for
elegance.
In addition, the new graphic on the side covering makes the electric
maxi-scooter look more modern. High-quality processing and excellent details
like the coloured bench seams or the tinted windshield complete the design.
